Week #7 - #11 - GSoC 2023 Weekly Report - Search Field in Options

Thanks to my ‘Search Field in Options’ project mentors Andreas Heinisch and Heiko Tietze for their time and guidance.

Project Report for Week #7 - #11

• A lot of new patchsets submitted (between patchset 10 and 19): https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/152519

• We decided to implement Plan B(initialize all strings at Options dialog start-up) instead of “extracting strings at build-time” approach.

• all (visible) strings of 69 dialogs included in searching. Currently:

  • labels,
  • check buttons,
  • radio buttons and
  • buttons are included.

TODO: add accessible-names, accessible-descriptions and tooltip-texts into searching.

• GetAllStrings() function returns all visible strings. e.g.:

OUString ScTpFormulaOptions::GetAllStrings()
{
    OUString sAllStrings;
    OUString labels[] = { "label1", "formulasyntaxlabel",
                          "label3", "label6",
                          "label7", "label8",
                          "label2", "label4",
                          "label9", "label10" };

    for (auto& label : labels)
    {
        if (m_xBuilder->weld_label(label)->is_visible())
            sAllStrings += m_xBuilder->weld_label(label)->get_label() + OUString(' ');
    }

    OUString radioButton[] = { "calcdefault", "calccustom" };

    for (auto& radio : radioButton)
    {
        if (m_xBuilder->weld_radio_button(radio)->is_visible())
            sAllStrings += m_xBuilder->weld_radio_button(radio)->get_label() + OUString(' ');
    }

    OUString button[] = { "reset", "details" };

    for (auto& btn : button)
    {
        if (m_xBuilder->weld_button(btn)->is_visible())
            sAllStrings += m_xBuilder->weld_button(btn)->get_label() + OUString(' ');
    }

    // check button
    if (mxCbEnglishFuncName->is_visible())
        sAllStrings += mxCbEnglishFuncName->get_label() + OUString(' ');

    return sAllStrings.replaceAll("_", "");
}
