This module contains a grab-bag of unrelated misc. libraries, *none* of which is an extension.
|
|
|
|
== Application online update checking ==
|
|
|
|
When we start LO, first InitUpdateCheckJobThread is created, via
|
|
UpdateCheckJob::execute() (from extensions/source/update/check/updatecheckjob.cxx),
|
|
as a reaction to a "onFirstVisibleTask" event. It waits 25 seconds (so that it
|
|
does not interfere with the startup itself), and then calls
|
|
UpdateCheck::initialize() (from extensions/source/update/check/updatecheck.cxx).
|
|
|
|
This creates one more thread, UpdateCheckThread, that regularly checks whether
|
|
we have reached the time when we should ask for the update. If yes, asks for
|
|
that, and shows the download button in the menu (if the new update is
|
|
available).
|
|
|
|
== OLE automation bridge ==
|
|
|
|
A bridge between "OLE automation" and UNO, so you can use UNO services
|
|
from JScript, VBScript, etc.
|
|
|
|
https://www.openoffice.org/udk/common/man/spec/ole_bridge.html
|
|
|
|
See udkapi/com/sun/star/bridge/oleautomation/ApplicationRegistration.idl
|
|
|
|
This is initialized in Desktop::Main() in Desktop::OpenClients_Impl()
|
|
by creating the service "com.sun.star.bridge.OleApplicationRegistration",
|
|
which is implemented by ole_adapter::OleServer_Impl.
|
|
|
|

|
== ActiveX control ==
|
|
|
|
This allows embedding LO into a Win32 application as an ActiveX control.
|
|
See extensions/source/activex/
|
|
|
|
== Spotlight provider ==
|
|
|
|
On Mac OS X, this allows indexing ODF documents with Spotlight.
|
|
See extensions/source/macosx/spotlight/
|
|
|
|
== Scanner support ==
|
|
|
|
You can scan from LibreOffice, using platform specific backends like TWAIN/SANE.
|
|
