I would like to use sockets to transfer data.</div> <div>Preference is for running my own code in scalc that can parse the data sent by my other processes. Speed is important to me.</div> <div> </div> <div>Reading through the Developer's Guide, I came across the following : <a href="http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/AdvUNO/Advanced_UNO"><font color="blue"><u>http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/AdvUNO/Advanced_UNO</u></font></a></div> <div> In addition to C++ being fast since it is compiled locally, it offers the fastest communication with OpenOffice.org because most of the essential parts of office have been developed in C++. </div> <div> This advantage becomes less important as you call into the office through the <b>interprocess bridge</b>, because every remote call means a constant <b>loss of 1 to 2 ms</b>. </div> <div> <b>The fastest code </b>to extend the office can be implemented as <b>a C++ UNO component</b>. It is appropriate for larger projects due to its strong type safety at compile time. </div> <div> </div> <div>Based on above text, I looked at addIns but it doesn't seem like what I need. I don't want to be restricted to a function call. I need a component running in scalc.</div> <div> <a href="http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Spreadsheet_Add-Ins"><font color="blue"><u>http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Spreadsheet_Add-Ins</u></font></a></div> <div> </div> <div>Can someone please advise what is the "fastest code as a C++ UNO component " mean and where can I find more docs related to it.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks</div> <div>Neeraj</div> <div> </div> </span></font> </body> </html>
