UNO Objects, Functions and Services
Functions, objects and services of Unified Network Objects (UNO).
Office Global Objects
StarDesktop object

GetDefaultContext Function
Returns the default context of the process service factory, if existent, else returns a null reference.
GetProcessServiceManager Function
Returns the ProcessServiceManager (central Uno ServiceManager).
GlobalScope specifier
To manage personal or shared library containers (Application Macros or My Macros) from within a document, use the GlobalScope specifier.
Active document Objects
The following objects can be used from the active document.
BasicLibraries Object
DialogLibraries Object
ThisComponent Object
ThisComponent represents the current document in Basic macros. It addresses the active component whose properties can be read and set, and whose methods can be called. Properties and methods available through ThisComponent depend on the document type.
ThisDatabaseDocument object
ThisDatabaseDocument addresses the active Base document whose properties can be read and set, and whose methods can be called.
ThisDatabaseDocument returns an object of type com.sun.star.sdb.XOfficeDatabaseDocument.
UNO Methods
Use the following methods to manage or query Unified Network Objects (UNO).
CreateUnoStruct Function
Creates an instance of a Uno structure type.
CreateUnoService Function
Instantiates a Uno service with the ProcessServiceManager.
CreateUnoDialog Function
Creates a Basic Uno object that represents a Uno dialog control during Basic runtime.
CreateUnoListener Function
Creates a Listener instance.
CreateUnoValue Function
Returns an object that represents a strictly typed value referring to the Uno type system.
CreateObject Function

This method creates instances of the type that is passed as parameter.
EqualUnoObjects Function
Returns True if the two specified Basic variables represent the same Uno object instance.
CreateUnoService Function
Instantiates a Uno service with the ProcessServiceManager.
HasUnoInterfaces Function
Tests if a Basic Uno object supports certain Uno interfaces.
IsUnoStruct Function
Returns True if the given object is a Uno struct.
Office provides an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows controlling the Office components with different programming languages by using the Office Software Development Kit (SDK).
