Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2015-05-02 10:03:36 UTC
In preparation for a freeze split/group button for the toolbar, we need two new UNO commands for freeze. One UNO command to freeze the first row and one UNO command to freeze the first column.

Hi Gulsah,

Thanks for taking this on. Did you need some code pointers?

Hi Yousuf

I'm working on it for a while. I think this method must be changed --> http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/inc/tabview.hxx#497
IMHO It must be separated into two parts for rows and cols.

but i can't understand how it calculates cells which must be freezed. I need some code point for this. Thank you for your interest.

Hi again. I've understood freezesplitters method. But i need some code point split button. I've research about "split button" but i think it has different name in LibreOffice or openoffice terminology. Do you know any source or code point about split buttons?

@Jan, @Maxim, @Bubli: Any code pointers for Gulsah would be appreciated.
Comment 8 Gülşah Köse 2016-01-19 15:58:04 UTC
This is my patch for this --> https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/21604
I'm still working on split button.

If so, then corresponding are

sc/sdi/scalc.sdi:SfxVoidItem FreezePanes SID_WINDOW_FIX
(and all files under sc/ where SID_WINDOW_FIX is handled)

sc/uiconfig/scalc/menubar/menubar.xml:            <menu:menuitem menu:id=".uno:FreezePanes"/>

sc/uiconfig/scalc/toolbar/standardbar.xml: <toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:FreezePanes"/>

There are two kinds of split buttons - toolbar based (e.g. Custom Shapes buttons) and menu based (e.g. New document button). For toolbar based button you should use SubToolBarController, and for menu based button use GenericPopupToolbarController. Both are configured through officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/Controller.xcu, and for both it's possible to specify the list of commands in XML format, and also reuse the same list for a submenu in the main menu or a context menu (for toolbar based button using ToolbarAsMenuController).

Did I understand correctly that the request is to have the split freeze the first row only or the first column only, regardless where the current cursor position is? Or is it to freeze only the columns or only the rows (not both) where the current cursor is?

The request is to have 2 addition UNO commands for freezing either the first row or the first column. The functionality of freezing rows and columns can be quite difficult for new users and providing them with an easy means to freeze just the most commonly frozen cell groups is what is being targeted with this request, which hopefully will lead to a freeze split button that would have give access to these alternative UNO commands.

Comment 16 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-02-21 00:03:54 UTC
Thanks Gulsah and Maxim for the work on this.

There is a problem with the logic of the code as if i enable one freeze option (e.g. Freeze First Column) and then want to change it to another freeze option (e.g. Freeze First Row), it just disables the first freeze option, so then a user would have to choose the another option again to get it working.

Created a Freeze Cells submenu in the View menu.

Comment 18 narayanaras 2016-08-22 08:22:14 UTC
@Yousuf,

The 5.2.0.4 still has the same old (defective) behavior as you described in Comment 16 (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91013#c16).

Both "Freeze first column" and "Freeze first row" should act as toggle.
(If we repeat the command, it should toggle.)
They must not act as unfreeze command for the other axis. (column <--> row)
