It is bug <A HREF="http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104788">http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=104788</A> inherited from OOo. It is about 1.5 years old and inhibits extension developers (like me) from using the Dropdownbox in the toolbar. The line that has to be changed according to the api mailing list and that bug report is below: Index: framework/source/uielement/dropdownboxtoolbarcontroller.cxx <PRE> =================================================================== --- framework/source/uielement/dropdownboxtoolbarcontroller.cxx (revision 274324) +++ framework/source/uielement/dropdownboxtoolbarcontroller.cxx (working copy) @@ -222,7 +222,7 @@ xDispatch = getDispatchFromCommand( m_aCommandURL ); aCommandURL = m_aCommandURL; aTargetURL = getInitializedURL(); - aSelectedText = m_pListBoxControl->GetText(); + aSelectedText = m_pListBoxControl->GetSelectEntry(); } } </PRE> Background info: In an extension one can design an own toolbar, that might contain this dropdownbox. When this value is changed the extension gets notified via a dispatch through the above procedure. The "aSelectedText" should contain the text content of the newly selected dropdownbox item, but due to this bug just returns an empty string. So the extension does not know which item was selected. My current work around: using ToggleDropdownButton (not as nice in this circumstance) Since it is a one-liner, I am hoping that someone could quickly make this change. If you are living in Munich, a free beer is guaranteed! Do I have to file a bug?
