Openoffice writer has a set of navigation buttons (up, select, down) shown below the vertical scrollbar.
- I wish to remove this as my app is kiosk software.
- I only wish to remove the navigation buttons, not the scrollbar.
- I'm trying to remove/hide these programmatically using the Java UNO bindings. However if there is a solution because of the nature of UNO it should be possible in any language.
- I'm using openoffice 3.3.0
Things I've tried:
View settings: The scrollbar can be hidden by setting the property ("ShowVertRuler", false) from the view settings obtained via XTextDocument => CurrentController => XViewSettingsSupplier => XViewSettings. No similar property exists for the navigation buttons. Interestingly hiding the scrollbar also hides the navigation buttons implying it is all one widget??
XUIElement access: I've removed other elements like toolbars by obtaining the XLayoutManager via XFrame, iterating over the list of XUIElement and calling XLayoutManager.hideElement() with the ResourceURL for the XUIElement.
XAccessible access: I have found examples of how to get the scrollbar value by getting an XAccessible reference. See this thread. However it only seems possible to set/get model values using XAccessible, and not affect visibility.
Looking at documentation for UNO and much googling.
I'm only after a pointer in the right direction in terms of the API. I can write any code necessary myself.
