Class Forms

Forms

Introduction

This class is used to create create and manage forms and form controls.

Multi-Document Support

Multi-Document support is available in OooDev. The Class DrawForm, Class CalcForm, and Class WriteForm classes all inherit from the FormsPartial class which has multi document support built in.

When creating your own form class it is recommended it inherit from the FormsPartial class.

Methods in the this Forms class are identified if they have multi-document support or not.

For methods that do no have multi-document support you will need to use the Class LoContext context manager before calling them in a multi-document environment.

from ooodev.form import Forms
from ooodev.write import WriteDoc
from ooodev.utils.context.lo_context import LoContext

# create first document
doc1  = WriteDoc.create_doc()

# create a second document
lo_inst = Lo.create_lo_instance()
doc2  = WriteDoc.create_doc(lo_inst=lo_inst)

# ...

with LoContext(lo_inst=lo_inst):
    # in this block all methods will automatically use
    # the lo_inst of the second document.
    # As soon as the LoContext block is exited, the context is
    # restored to the first document.
    # ...
    Forms.add_control(
        doc=doc2.component,
        name=name,
        label="Options",
        comp_kind=FormComponentKind.GROUP_BOX,
        x=col2_x,
        y=y,
        width=box_width,
        height=25,
        styles=[font_colored],
    )
    # ...
    props = Forms.add_list(
        doc=doc2.component,
        name="Fruits",
        entries=fruits,
        x=x,
        y=y,
        width=width,
        height=height,
    )

    # ...
