[Libreoffice] python - msgbox fragment ...

Hi Michael,

MessageBoxButtons as well as XSCRIPTCONTEXT do not exist for me. Python
doesn´t find them and they are documented as “not published” [1]. I
think it would be nice to use createMessageBox() and to have a dynamic
size and a nice error icon. But with the use of Laurent´s implementation
I could solve the task. [2]

With the modified mailmerge.py I get the expected pythonerror in a
messagebox after closing the MsgBox. [3] In fact all pythonerrors are
reported like this on my computer. What does it look like on nonfree
platforms? In fact it is better to display only one error message.

Not all python errors are reported in a message by default. If there are
syntax errors at the beginning of the file, office remains silent. This
is problem. 

When there is a MsgBox that works for everybody I suggest to implement
it into pythonscript.py so that it is being used for all exceptions. 


regards,

Timo
