Warning

This method requires the GUI to be present and will not work in Headless mode.

Note

This method triggers the following events when this partial class is used in a class that inherits from EventsPartial:

BeforePopupRangeSelection
AfterPopupRangeSelection

The event data for the BeforePopupRangeSelection event is a DotDict with the following keys:

doc: The CalcDoc object
title: The title of the popup
close_on_mouse_release: Specifies if the dialog closes when mouse is released.
single_cell_mode: Specifies if the dialog is in single cell mode.
initial_value: The initial value of the range.

The event data for the AfterPopupRangeSelection event is a DotDict with the following keys:

view: The CalcSheetView object
state: The state of the selection, either “done” or “aborted”
rng_obj: The RangeObj object, which is the range selected by the user or None.
close_on_mouse_release: Specifies if the dialog closes when mouse is released.
single_cell_mode: Specifies if the dialog is in single cell mode.
initial_value: The initial value of the range selection.
result: The result of the range selection from RangeSelectionEvent.RangeDescriptor Can be a string such as $Sheet1.$A$1:$B$2.

Because popup dialogs can block the main GUI Thread, this method is run in a separate thread. That means it is not possible to return the result of the range selection directly. Instead, the result is passed to the AfterPopupRangeSelection event and in a global event named GlobalCalcRangeSelector.

The GlobalCalcRangeSelector has the same event data as the AfterPopupRangeSelection event.

Example

Example of using the global event GlobalCalcRangeSelector. In this case MyObj could also be a dialog that need to be update when the range selection is done.

from typing import Any
from ooodev.globals import GblEvents
from ooodev.events.args.event_args import EventArgs

class MyObj:
    def __init__(self):
        self._fn_on_range_sel = self._on_range_sel
        GblEvents().subscribe("GlobalCalcRangeSelector", self._fn_on_range_sel)

    def on_range_selection(self, src:Any, event: EventArgs):
