+    /** base class to define color modifications
+
+        The basic idea is to have instances of color modifiers where each
+        of these can be asked to get a modified version of a color. This
+        can be as easy as to return a fixed color, but may also do any
+        other computation based on the given source color and the local
+        algorithm to apply.
+
+        This base implementation defines the abstract base class. Every
+        derivation offers another color blending effect, when needed with
+        parameters for that blending defined as members.
+
+        As long as aw080 is not applied, an operator== is needed to implement
+        the operator== of the primitive based on this instances.
+
+        For the exact definitions of the color blending applied refer to the
+        implementation of the method getModifiedColor
+
+        BColorModifier is not copyable (no copy constructor, no assignment
+        operator); local values cannot be changed after construction. The
+        instances are cheap and the idea is to create them on demand. To
+        be able to reuse these as much as possible, a define for a
+        std::shared_ptr named BColorModifierSharedPtr exists below.
+        All usages should handle instances of BColorModifier encapsulated
+        into these shared pointers.

+            subdivisions will be needed to create the filled geometry. Allowed
+            range is cropped to [1.0 .. 0.01]
+
+            @param fMiterMinimumAngle
+            The minimum wanted angle between two edges when edge rounding
+            is using miter. When an edge is smaller than this (tighter)

+            subdivisions which gives 10 edges and 11 points per segment and is

+            When changing the polygon, it will be flushed. It is buffered at the
+            refcounted implementation class, so it will survive copy by value and
+            combinations in PolyPolygons.

+
+            To get range (c) a simple solution would be to subdivide the polygon

+
+            This method is used to cut down line polygons to the needed
+            pieces when a dashing needs to be applied.
+            It is now capable of keeping contained bezier segments.
+            It is also capable of delivering line and non-line portions
+            depending on what target polygons You provide. This is useful
+            e.g. for dashed lines with two colors.
+            If the last and the first snippet in one of the results have
+            a common start/end ppoint, they will be merged to achieve as
+            view as needed result line snippets. This is also relevant for
+            further processing the results.
+
+            @param rCandidate
+            The polygon based on which the snippets will be created.
+
+            @param rDotDashArray
+            The line pattern given as array of length values
+
+            @param pLineTarget
+            The target for line snippets, e.g. the first entry will be
+            a line segment with length rDotDashArray[0]. The given
+            polygon will be emptied as preparation.
+
+            @param pGapTarget
+            The target for gap snippets, e.g. the first entry will be
+            a line segment with length rDotDashArray[1]. The given
+            polygon will be emptied as preparation.
+
+            @param fFullDashDotLen
+            The summed-up length of the rDotDashArray. If zero, it will
+            be calculated internally.
+
+            There is now a 2nd version that allows to provide callback
+            functions that get called when a snippet of a line/gap is
+            produced and needs to be added. This allows to use it like
+            a 'pipeline'. When using this (e.g. the 1st version uses
+            this internally to guarantee the same algorithm is used)
+            it is not needed to accumulate a potentially huge number
+            of polygons in the result-polyPolygons, but e.g. consume
+            them directly in the caller. Example is rendering a
+            dashed line but without creating the potentially huge amount
+            of polygons.
+            The 2nd version will also merge first/last line/gap snippets
+            if the input polygon is closed and the start/end-points match
+            accordingly - at the cost that this will be delivered last.

+
+        This is most easily depicted as a set of integers, bounded by
+        a lower and an upper value - but excluding the upper
+        value. All inbetween values are included in the set (see also
+        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_%28mathematics%29).
+
+        The set is half-open, i.e. the lower bound is included, the
+        upper bound not (if you're used to the notation - we're
+        talking about [a,b) here, compared to closed [a,b] or fully
+        open intervals (a,b)).
+
+        If you don't need a half-open interval, check B2IRange.
+
+        That means, isInside(val) will return true also for values of
+        val=a, but not for val=b.
+
+        Alternatively, consider this a rectangle, where the rightmost
+        pixel column and the bottommost pixel row are excluded - this
+        is much like polygon filling. As a result, filling a given
+        rectangle with basebmp::BitmapDevice::fillPolyPolygon(), will
+        affect exactly the same set of pixel as isInside() would
+        return true for.

+            bound rect in a given direction.
+
+            This method is useful when e.g. generating one-dimensional
+            gradients, such as linear or axial gradients: those
+            gradients vary only in one direction, the other has
+            constant color. Most of the time, those gradients extends
+            infinitely in the direction with the constant color, but
+            practically, one always has a limiting bound rect into
+            which the gradient is painted. The method at hand now
+            extends a given parallelogram (e.g. the transformed
+            bounding box of a gradient) virtually into infinity to the
+            top and to the bottom (i.e. normal to the line io_rLeftTop
+            io_rRightTop), such that the given rectangle is guaranteed
+            to be covered in that direction.
+
+            @attention There might be some peculiarities with this
+            method, that might limit its usage to the described
+            gradients. One of them is the fact that when determining
+            how far the parallelogram has to be extended to the top or
+            the bottom, the upper and lower border are assumed to be
+            infinite lines.
+
+            @param io_rLeftTop
+            Left, top edge of the parallelogramm. Note that this need
+            not be the left, top edge geometrically, it's just used
+            when determining the extension direction. Thus, it's
+            perfectly legal to affine-transform a rectangle, and given
+            the transformed point here. On method return, this
+            parameter will contain the adapted output.
+
+            @param io_rLeftBottom
+            Left, bottom edge of the parallelogramm. Note that this need

+            when determining the extension direction. Thus, it's

+            when determining the extension direction. Thus, it's

+     *
+     *  This is a general class to manage backups/restore of the file
+     *  given by the URL. The container holding the backups is created
+     *  aside the original file, e.g for 'test.txt' a container
+     *  called '.test.pack' will be used. If it was not yet backed-up
+     *  this container file will be created at the 1st backup and deleted
+     *  when the last gets removed. The container holds a stack with a
+     *  maximum given number (in the constructor) of copies, these are by
+     *  default compressed, but don't have to be (see tryPush).
+     *
+     *  Due to being on a low system level here, no UNO API and not much
+     *  other tooling can be used, as a consequence for the container a
+     *  own simple format is used and e.g. the zip lib directly.
+     *
+     *  You need to hand over the URL of the file to look at and
+     *  a maximum number of allowed copies. That number is internally
+     *  limited to an absolute max of 10 (see implementation). The number
+     *  of allowed copies is limited to [1..max].
+     *
+     *  Calling tryPush() will check if there is no backup yet or if
+     *  there is one that the file has changed. If yes, a new copy is
+     *  created on a kind of 'stack' of copies. The return value can
+     *  be used to see if a backup was indeed created.
+     *
+     *  Calling tryPop() will do the opposite: if a backup is available,
+     *  delete the orig file and re-instantiate the backup. The backup
+     *  is taken off the 'stack' of copies. The return value can be
+     *  used to check if this was done.
+     *
+     *  isPopPossible can be called to see if there is a backup available
+     *  before calling tryPop().
+     *
+     *  The 'stack' of copies works by using the same path, filename
+     *  and extension, but adding a '_1' -> '_(num_of_copy)' to it.

+</pre>
+
+        The <code>log</code> and <code>logp</code> calls support up to 6 parameters, which can be of
+        arbitrary type. For every parameter, there must exist a function <code>convertLogArgToString</code>
+        which takes an argument of the respective type, and returns a string.
+
+        After a parameter has been converted to a string using the above mentioned
+        <code>convertLogArgToString</code> function, a placeholder $1$ (resp. $2$ resp. $4$ ...)
+        in the message will be replaced with this string, and the resulting message will be logged.

+/** @short  Template for implementing singleton classes.
+            This is a replacement for salhelper::SingletonRef, but which uses std::mutex instead of osl::Mutex.
+
+            Such classes can be instantiated every time they
+            are needed. But the internal wrapped object will
+            be created one times only. Of course it's used
+            resources are referenced one times only too.
+            This template hold it alive till the last
+            reference is gone. Further all operations
+            on this reference are threadsafe. Only
+            calls directly to the internal object (which modify
+            its state) must be made threadsafe by the object itself
+            or from outside.
+
+    @attention  To prevent the code against race conditions, it's not
+                allowed to start operations inside the ctor
+                of the internal wrapped object - especially operations
+                which needs a reference to the same singleton too.
+
+                The only chance to suppress such strange constellations
+                is a lazy-init mechanism.
+
+                <ul>
+                    <li>a) The singleton class can provide a special init()
+                           method, which must be called as first after creation.</li>
+                    <li>b) The singleton class can call a special impl_init()
+                           method implicit for every called interface method.</li>
+                </ul>
+
+                Note further that this singleton pattern can work only, if
+                all user of such singleton are located inside the same library!
+                Because static values can't be exported - e.g. from windows libraries.

+

+        The idea is that the filter which a database component actually really uses is composed of several single
+        filter components (which all are conjunctive).
+
+        First, there is a component which is visible to the clients of the database component itself - if they ask
+        the database component for the Filter property, they will get this public filter.
+
+        Second, there is an implicit filter, which is (to be) created from the MasterFields and DetailFields
+        property of the database component, if the latter denote columns.<br/>
+        For instance, if there is a link-pair CustomerID->cid, where |CustomerID| is a column of the master
+        database component, and |cid| is a column of the detail database component (the database component we're responsible for), then there will
+        be an implicit filter "cid = :param_cid_link" (or something like this), which is never visible
+        to the clients of the database component, but nevertheless needs to be propagated to the aggregated RowSet.<br/>
+        Actually, this implicit filter is maintained by the FormParameterManager.
+
+        Potentially, there could be more filter components (for instance, you could imagine database component
+        controls which act as live filter, which could be implemented with a third component), but
+        at the moment there are only these two.

+                <code>bar</code> is defined as <code>SELECT * FROM "foo"</code>. This statement obviously
+                cannot be parsed to an executable statement.
+
+                If this method returns <FALSE/>, you're encouraged to check and handle the error in

+    - only as first statement in a catch block!
+    - don't do a C++ rethrow (throw;) after you have called this function
+    - call getCaughtException() just once in your catch block!
+      (function internally uses a C++ rethrow)
+
+    @return
+              caught UNO exception
+
+    @attention Caution!
+              This function is limited to the same C++ compiler runtime library.
+              E.g. for MSVC, this means that the catch handler code (the one
+              that calls getCaughtException()) needs to use the very same
+              C++ runtime library, e.g. msvcrt.dll as cppuhelper, e.g.
+              cppuhelper3MSC.dll and the bridge library, e.g. msci_uno.dll.
+              This is the case if all of them are compiled with the same
+              compiler version.
+              Background: The msci_uno.dll gets a rethrown exception out
+              of the internal msvcrt.dll thread local storage (tls).
+              Thus you _must_ not use this function if your code needs to run
+              in newer UDK versions without being recompiled, because those
+              newer UDK (-> OOo versions) potentially use newer C++ runtime
+              libraries which most often become incompatible!
+
+              But this function ought to be usable for most OOo internal C++-UNO
+              development, because the whole OOo code base is compiled using the
+              same C++ compiler (and linking against one runtime library).

+/** BufferedDecompositionPrimitive2D class
+
+    Baseclass for all C++ implementations of css::graphic::XPrimitive2D
+    which want to buffer the decomposition result
+
+    Buffering the decomposition is the most-used buffering and is thus used my most
+    primitive implementations which support a decomposition as base class.
+
+    The buffering is done by holding the last decomposition in the local parameter
+    maBuffered2DDecomposition. The default implementation of get2DDecomposition checks
+    if maBuffered2DDecomposition is empty. If yes, it uses create2DDecomposition
+    to create the content. In all cases, maBuffered2DDecomposition is returned.
+
+    For view-dependent primitives derived from Primitive2DBufferDecomposition more needs
+    to be done when the decomposition depends on parts of the parameter ViewInformation2D.
+    This defines a standard method for processing these:
+
+    Implement a view-dependent get2DDecomposition doing the following steps:
+    (a) Locally extract needed parameters from ViewInformation2D to new, local parameters
+        (this may be a complete local copy of ViewInformation2D)
+    (b) If a buffered decomposition exists, ckeck if one of the new local parameters
+        differs from the corresponding locally remembered (as member) ones. If yes,
+        clear maBuffered2DDecomposition
+    (d) call baseclass::get2DDecomposition which will use create2DDecomposition
+        to fill maBuffered2DDecomposition if it's empty
+    (e) copy the new local parameters to the corresponding locally remembered ones
+        to identify if a new decomposition is needed at the next call
+    (f) return maBuffered2DDecomposition
+ */

+/** BasePrimitive2D class
+
+    Baseclass for all C++ implementations of css::graphic::XPrimitive2D
+
+    This class is strongly virtual due to the lack of getPrimitiveID() implementation.
+    This is by purpose, this base class shall not be incarnated and be used directly as
+    a XPrimitive2D.
+
+    It is noncopyable to make clear that a primitive is a read-only
+    instance and copying or changing values is not intended. The idea is to hold all data
+    needed for visualisation of this primitive in unchangeable form.
+
+    It is derived from cppu::BaseMutex to have a Mutex at hand; in a base
+    implementation this may not be needed, but e.g. when buffering at last decomposition
+    in a local member, multiple threads may try to decompose at the same time, so locking
+    is needed to avoid race conditions seen from the UNO object implementation.
+
+    A method to get a simplified representation is provided by get2DDecomposition. The
+    default implementation returns an empty sequence. The idea is that processors
+    using this primitive and do not know it, may get the decomposition and process
+    these instead. An example is e.g. a fat line, who's decomposition may contain
+    the geometric representation of that line using filled polygon primitives. When
+    the renderer knows how to handle fat lines, he may process this primitive directly;
+    if not he can use the decomposition. With this functionality, renderers may operate by
+    knowing only a small set of primitives.
+
+    When a primitive does not implement get2DDecomposition, it is called a 'Basic Primitive' and
+    belongs to the set of primitives which a processor should be able to handle. Practice
+    will define this minimal sets of primitives. When defined and the concept is proved,
+    unique UNO APIs may be defined/implemented for these set to allow more intense work
+    with primitives using UNO.
+
+    Current Basic 2D Primitives are:
+
+    - BitmapPrimitive2D (bitmap data, evtl. with transparence)
+    - PointArrayPrimitive2D (single points)
+    - PolygonHairlinePrimitive2D (hairline curves/polygons)
+    - PolyPolygonColorPrimitive2D (colored polygons)
+
+    UPDATE: MetafilePrimitive2D (VCL Metafile) is taken off this list since
+    it is implemented with the integration of CWS aw078 into DV300m69.
+
+    All other implemented primitives have a defined decomposition and can thus be
+    decomposed down to this small set.
+
+    A renderer implementing support for this minimal set of primitives can completely
+    render primitive-based visualisations. Of course, he also has to take states into account
+    which are represented by GroupPrimitive2D derivations, see groupprimitive2d.hxx
+
+    To support getting the geometric BoundRect, getB2DRange is used. The default
+    implementation will use the get2DDecomposition result and merge a range from the
+    entries. Thus, an implementation is only necessary for the Basic Primitives, but
+    of course speedups are possible (and are used) by implementing the method at higher-level
+    primitives.
+
+    For primitive identification, getPrimitiveID is used currently in this implementations
+    to allow a fast switch/case processing. This needs a unique identifier mechanism which
+    currently uses defines (see drawinglayer_primitivetypes2d.hxx). For UNO primitive API
+    it will be needed to add a unique descriptor (Name?) later to the API.
+
+    This base implementation provides mappings from the methods from XPrimitive2D
+    (getDecomposition/getRange) to the appropriate methods in the C++ implementations
+    (get2DDecomposition/getB2DRange). The PropertyValue ViewParameters is converted to
+    the appropriate C++ implementation class ViewInformation2D.
+
+    This base class does not implement any buffering; e.g. buffering the decomposition
+    and/or the range. These may be buffered anytime since the definition is that the primitive
+    is read-only and thus unchangeable. This implies that the decomposition and/or getting
+    the range will lead to the same result as last time, under the precondition that
+    the parameter ViewInformation2D is the same as the last one. This is usually the case
+    for view-independent primitives which are defined by not using ViewInformation2D
+    in their get2DDecomposition/getB2DRange implementations.

+            Baseclass for all grouping 2D primitives
+
+            The grouping primitive in its basic form is capable of holding
+            a child primitive content and returns it on decomposition on default.
+            It is used for two main purposes, but more may apply:
+
+            - to transport extended information, e.g. for text classification,
+              see e.g. TextHierarchy*Primitive2D implementations. Since they
+              decompose to their child content, renderers not aware/interested
+              in that extra information will just ignore these primitives
+
+            - to encapsulate common geometry, e.g. the ShadowPrimitive2D implements
+              applying a generic shadow to a child sequence by adding the needed
+              offset and color stuff in the decomposition
+
+            In most cases the decomposition is straightforward, so by default
+            this primitive will not buffer the result and is not derived from
+            BufferedDecompositionPrimitive2D, but from BasePrimitive2D.
+
+            A renderer has to take GroupPrimitive2D derivations into account which
+            are used to hold a state.
+
+            Current Basic 2D StatePrimitives are:
+
+            - TransparencePrimitive2D (objects with freely defined transparence)
+            - InvertPrimitive2D (for XOR)
+            - MaskPrimitive2D (for masking)
+            - ModifiedColorPrimitive2D (for a stack of color modifications)
+            - TransformPrimitive2D (for a transformation stack)

+/** TextSimplePortionPrimitive2D class
+
+    This is the basic primitive for representing a text portion. It contains
+    all needed information. If it is not handled by a renderer, its decomposition
+    will provide the text tools::PolyPolygon outlines as filled polygons, correctly
+    transformed.
+
+    To get better text quality, it is suggested to handle this primitive directly
+    in a renderer. In that case, e.g. hintings on the system can be supported.
+
+    @param maTextTransform
+    The text transformation contains the text start position (always baselined)
+    as translation, the FontSize as scale (where width relative to height defines
+    font scaling and width == height means no font scaling) and the font rotation
+    and shear.
+    When shear is used and a renderer does not support it, it may be better to use
+    the decomposition which will do everything correctly. Same is true for mirroring
+    which would be expressed as negative scalings.
+
+    @param rText
+    The text to be used. Only a part may be used, but a bigger part of the string
+    may be necessary for correct layouting (e.g. international)
+
+    @param aTextPosition
+    The index to the first character to use from rText
+
+    @param aTextLength
+    The number of characters to use from rText
+
+    @param rDXArray
+    The distances between the characters. This parameter may be empty, in that case
+    the renderer is responsible to do something useful. If it is given, it has to be of
+    the size aTextLength. Its values are in logical coordinates and describe the
+    distance for each character to use. This is independent from the font width which
+    is given with maTextTransform. The first value is the offset to use from the start
+    point in FontCoordinateSystem X-Direction (given by maTextTransform) to the start
+    point of the second character
+
+    @param rKashidaArray
+    The Kashida insertion positions.
+
+    @param rFontAttribute
+    The font definition
+
+    @param rLocale
+    The locale to use
+
+    @param rFontColor
+    The font color to use
+
+    @param bFilled
+
+    @param nWidthToFill
+
+    @param rTextFillColor
+    Text background color (has nothing to do with bFilled and nWidthToFill)

+            is accessible throughout the processor implementations. The idea is
+            to construct any processor with a given ViewInformation2D. To be able
+            to handle primitives which need to change the current transformation
+            (as e.g. TransformPrimitive2D) it is allowed for the processor implementation
+            to change its local value using updateViewInformation.
+
+            The basic processing method is process(..) which gets handed over the
+            sequence of primitives to process. For convenience of the C++ implementations,
+            the default implementation of process(..) maps all accesses to primitives to
+            single calls to processBasePrimitive2D(..) where the primitive in question is
+            already casted to the C++ implementation class.
+
+            The process(..) implementation makes a complete iteration over the given
+            sequence of primitives. If the Primitive is not derived from BasePrimitive2D
+            and thus not part of the C++ implementations, it converts ViewInformation2D
+            to the corresponding API implementation (a uno::Sequence< beans::PropertyValue >)
+            and recursively calls the method process(..) at the primitive with the decomposition
+            derived from that primitive. This is the preparation to handle unknown implementations
+            of the css::graphic::XPrimitive2D interface in the future.
+
+            So, to implement a basic processor, it is necessary to override and implement the
+            processBasePrimitive2D(..) method. A minimal renderer has to support the
+            Basic Primitives (see baseprimitive2d.hxx) and the Grouping Primitives (see
+            groupprimitive2d.hxx). These are (currently):
+
+            Basic Primitives:
+
+            - BitmapPrimitive2D (bitmap data, possibly with transparency)
+            - PointArrayPrimitive2D (single points)
+            - PolygonHairlinePrimitive2D (hairline curves/polygons)
+            - PolyPolygonColorPrimitive2D (colored polygons)
+
+            Grouping Primitives:
+
+            - TransparencePrimitive2D (objects with freely defined transparence)
+            - InvertPrimitive2D (for XOR)
+            - MaskPrimitive2D (for masking)
+            - ModifiedColorPrimitive2D (for a stack of color modifications)
+            - TransformPrimitive2D (for a transformation stack)
+
+            A processor doing so is a minimal processor. Of course a processor may
+            handle any higher-level primitive (that has a decomposition implementation)
+            for more direct data access or performance reasons, too.
+
+            The main part of a processBasePrimitive2D implementation is a switch..case
+            construct, looking like the following:
+
+            void foo::processBasePrimitive2D(const BasePrimitive2D& rCandidate)
+            {
+                switch(rCandidate.getPrimitive2DID())
+                {
+                    case PRIMITIVE2D_ID_??? :
+                    {
+                        // process PRIMITIVE2D_ID_??? here...
+
+                        ...
+
+                        break;
+                    }
+
+                    ...
+
+                    default :
+                    {
+                        // process recursively
+                        process(rCandidate.get2DDecomposition(getViewInformation2D()));
+                        break;
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+
+            The default case makes the processor work with all complex primitives
+            by recursively using their decomposition.
+
+            You can also add a case for ignoring primitives by using:
+
+                    case PRIMITIVE2D_ID_...IGNORE.A.. :
+                    case PRIMITIVE2D_ID_...IGNORE.B.. :
+                    case PRIMITIVE2D_ID_...IGNORE.C.. :
+                    {
+                        // ignore these primitives by neither processing nor
+                        // recursively processing their decomposition
+                        break;
+                    }
+
+            Another useful case is embedding the processing of a complex primitive by
+            bracketing it with some actions:
+
+                    case PRIMITIVE2D_ID_SOME_TEXT :
+                    {
+                        // encapsulate e.g. with changing local variables, e.g.
+                        // sometimes it's good to know if a basic primitive is
+                        // part of a text, especially when not handling the text
+                        // self but by purpose want to handle the decomposed
+                        // geometries in the processor
+                        startText();
+                        process(rCandidate.get2DDecomposition(getViewInformation2D()));
+                        endText();
+                        break;
+                    }
+
+            As an example a processor collecting the outlines of a sequence of primitives
+            only needs to handle some Basic Primitives and create outline and collect
+            outline polygons e.g. for primitives with area like BitmapPrimitive2D (a
+            rectangle) and PolyPolygonColorPrimitive2D. When also handling the Grouping
+            Primitives MaskPrimitive2D (e.g. ignoring its content, using the mask polyPolygon)
+            and TransformPrimitive2D (to have the correct local transformation), a processor
+            creating the outline can be written using just four (4) primitives. As a tipp, it can
+            be helpful to add many for the purpose not interesting higher level primitives
+            to not force their decomposition to be created and/or parsed.

+
+        This class implements the XAccessibleText interface for static
+        text, somewhat similar to the children of the
+        AccessibleTextHelper class. Currently, there are no children,
+        i.e. the whole text is presented in one big chunk. This might
+        change in the future, if a need for image bullets should
+        arise. These, by convention, would be represented as children
+        of the text.
+
+        You have to implement the SvxEditSource, SvxTextForwarder,
+        SvxViewForwarder and SvxEditViewForwarder interfaces in order
+        to enable your object to cooperate with this
+        class. SvxTextForwarder encapsulates the fact that text
+        objects do not necessarily have an EditEngine at their
+        disposal, SvxViewForwarder and SvxEditViewForwarder do the
+        same for the document and the edit view. The three mentioned
+        forwarder objects are not stored by the AccessibleTextHelper,
+        but fetched every time from the SvxEditSource. So you are best
+        off making your SvxEditSource::Get*Forwarder methods cache the
+        current forwarder.
+
+        As this class is intended for static (i.e. non-changing) text
+        only, no event broadcasting is necessary. You must handle
+        visibility by yourself, the bounding boxes returned by
+        getCharacterBounds() are relative to your accessibility
+        object.
+
+        @attention All public non-UNO methods (those are the uppercase
+        ones) must not be called with any mutex hold, except when
+        calling from the main thread (with holds the solar mutex),
+        unless stated otherwise. This is because they themselves might
+        need the solar mutex in addition to the object mutex, and the
+        ordering of the locking must be: first solar mutex, then
+        object mutex. Furthermore, state change events might be fired
+        internally.
+
+        @derive Use this class as a base for objects containing static
+        edit engine text. To avoid overwriting every interface method
+        to intercept derived object defunc state, just set NULL as the
+        edit source. Every interface method will then properly throw
+        an exception.

+            when converting simplified Chinese from/to traditional Chinese

+    Left/Right margin and first line indent

+      with a negative first line indent, the left margin shifts to the left.
+    - The SetText*,GetText* methods assume that the left margin represents
+      the 0 coordinate for the first line indent:

+                    During lifetime of an object different working states occur:
+                        initialization - working - closing - closed
+                    If you wish to implement thread safe classes you should use this feature to protect
+                    your code against calls at wrong time. e.g. you are not full initialized but somewhere
+                    call an interface method (initialize phase means startup time from creating object till
+                    calling specified first method e.g. XInitialization::initialize()!) then you should refuse
+                    this call. The same for closing/disposing the object!
+*//*-*************************************************************************************************************/
+enum EWorkingMode
+{

+/*-************************************************************************************************************
+    @descr          A transaction object should support throwing exceptions if user used it at wrong working mode.
+                    e.g. We can throw a DisposedException if user try to work and our mode is E_CLOSE!
+                    But sometimes he doesn't need this feature - will handle it by himself.
+                    Then we must differ between some exception-modi:
+                        E_HARDEXCEPTIONS        We throw exceptions for all working modes different from E_WORK!
+                        E_SOFTEXCEPTIONS        We throw exceptions for all working modes different from E_WORK AND E_INCLOSE!
+                                                This mode is useful for impl-methods which should be callable from dispose() method!
+
+                                                e.g.    void dispose()
+                                                        {

+
+        Several of the methods of the class take an IMutexGuard instance. It is assumed that this guard has a lock on
+        its mutex at the moment the method is entered. The lock will be released before any notifications to the
+        registered XUndoManagerListeners happen.
+
+        The following locking strategy is used for this mutex:
+        <ul><li>Any notifications to the registered XUndoManagerListeners are after the guard has been cleared. i.e.
+                without the mutex being locked.</p>
+            <li>Any calls into the <code>SfxUndoManager</code> implementation is made without the mutex being locked.
+                Note that this implies that the <code>SfxUndoManager</code> implementation must be thread-safe in itself
+                (which is true for the default implementation, SfxUndoManager).</li>
+            <li>An exception to the previous item are the <member>SfxUndoManager::Undo</member> and
+                <member>SfxUndoManager::Redo</member> methods: They're called with the given external mutex being
+                locked.</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        The reason for the exception for SfxUndoManager::Undo and SfxUndoManager::Redo is that those are expected to
+        modify the actual document which the UndoManager works for. And as long as our documents are not thread-safe,
+        and as long as we do not re-fit <strong>all</strong> existing SfxUndoImplementations to <em>not</em> expect
+        the dreaded SolarMutex being locked when they're called, the above behavior is a compromise between "how it should
+        be" and "how it can realistically be".

+/**
+   These are MS LANGIDs, the lower 10 bits (mask 0x03ff, values below 0x0400
+   aren't real locale IDs) represent the primary language ID, the upper 6 bits
+   represent the sublanguage ID, which in most cases together with the primary
+   language simply designates a country. A LANGID is constructed by
+   UINT16 nLangID = ((((UINT16)(SubLangId)) << 10) | (UINT16)(PriLangId));
+
+   A user-defined primary language ID is a value in the range 0x0200 to 0x03ff.
+   All other values are reserved for Windows system use.
+
+   A user-defined sublanguage identifier is a value in the range 0x20 to 0x3f.
+   All other values are reserved for Windows system use.
+   If there is no sublanguage ID for a primary language ID, use SUBLANG_DEFAULT
+   (0x01, which shifted to the left by 10 bits results in the frequently seen
+   0x0400). OR'ed with a 0x0200 primary results in 0x0600.
+
+   Values added as of 2006-04-18, a helper script: ../../source/isolang/lcid.awk
+   Utility to compare MS-LANGID definitions with those defined in this file.
+
+   For further information about MS-LANGIDs please see include/winnt.h of a
+   recent MSDEV version and the following web pages.
+
+
+   The once complete list, not necessarily supported by Windows:
+   List of Locale ID (LCID) Values as Assigned by Microsoft
+   http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx
+
+   As a complete list is never complete, some more that came with WinXP SP2:
+   Windows XP/Server 2003 - List of Locale IDs, Input Locale, and Language Collection
+   http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
+
+   And of course 2 lists aren't enough, so Windows Vista needs an extra one.
+   Which at least seems to include values of other versions of Windows.
+   Language Identifier Constants and Strings
+   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776294.aspx
+
+ ! Hey, yet another list, maybe this one will not move around? It seems to be
+ ! quite complete...
+ ! Language Identifier Constants and Strings (Windows)
+ ! http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd318693.aspx
+ !
+ ! Use THAT ^^^ as of 2013-09-17 it includes also Windows 8
+
+ ! BUT, you can download a PDF document from
+ ! http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/cc233965.aspx
+ ! that has YET MORE definitions, sigh... didn't cross-check if any are missing
+ ! from that... however, it also contains a few MS-reserved definitions that use
+ ! ISO 639-3 codes reserved for local use, such as 'qps-ploc' and 'qps-ploca'
+ ! (sic!), or strange things like 'ar-Ploc-SA' and 'ja-Ploc-JP' ('Ploc'??).
+ !
+ ! Use THAT ^^^ as the ultimate reference source (haha?) as of 2013-10-17 it
+ ! includes also Windows 8.1 (Release: Monday, July 22, 2013; well, its table
+ ! says 08/08/2013 Revision 6.0, but hey, who cares...)
+
+   For completeness, you can never have enough lists:
+   List of supported locale identifiers in Word
+   Applies to Microsoft Word 2000 and 2002

+ * 0xFA00 to 0xFBFF with sublanguage ID 0x3E
+ * 0xFE00 to 0xFFFF with sublanguage ID 0x3F
+ *
+ * Of which we define reserved blocks:
+ * All primary language IDs 0x3E0 to 0x3FE with any sublanguage ID, not to be
+ * assigned as user-defined IDs:
+ *
+ * 0x07E0 to 0x07FE with sublanguage ID 0x01, first on-the-fly block
+ * 0x0BE0 to 0x0BFE with sublanguage ID 0x02, second on-the-fly block

+ * 0x87E0 to 0x87FE with sublanguage ID 0x21
+ * ...
+ * 0xFBE0 to 0xFBFE with sublanguage ID 0x3E, last on-the-fly block
+ * 0xFFE0 to 0xFFFE with sublanguage ID 0x3F, 32 privateuse and specials
+ *
+ * This leaves room for 479 user-defined primary language IDs (instead of 512)
+ * with primary bitmask comparability, and 1922 on-the-fly IDs (instead of 0)
+ * with arbitrary assignment ((0x3E - 0x01 + 1) * (0x3FE - 0x3E0 + 1)).
+ *
+ * The primary ID 0x3FF is reserved and unassigned as it is the same as the
+ * LANGUAGE_MASK_PRIMARY and LANGUAGE_DONTKNOW value, so to not be mistaken as
+ * such.
+ *
+ * Obsolete OOo user defines now have other values assigned by MS, and
+ * different name. Mapping an obsolete value to ISO code should work provided
+ * that such a mapping exists in i18nlangtag/source/isolang/isolang.cxx, but
+ * mapping ISO back to LANGID will return the new value.

+/** @file
+    <p>This library can operate in two modes, application mode and direct mode.</p>
+
+
+    <h2>Application Mode</h2>
+    In application mode the Java related settings are stored in files.
+    There are currently three files which need to be accessed. They are determined
+    by bootstrap parameters:</p>
+    <dl>
+    <dt>UNO_JAVA_JFW_VENDOR_SETTINGS</dt>
+    <dd>contains vendor and version information about JREs as well as the
+    location of plugin-libraries which are responsible for providing information
+    about these JREs as well as starting the VMs.</dd>
+    <dt>UNO_JAVA_JFW_USER_DATA</dt>
+    <dd>The file contains settings for a particular user. One can use the macro
+    $SYSUSERCONFIG in the URL which expands to a directory where the user's data are
+    kept. On UNIX this would be the home directory and on Windows some sub-directory
+    of the &quot;Documents and Settings&quot; folder.The content of this file is an
+    implementation detail and may change in the future.</dd>
+    <dt>UNO_JAVA_JFW_SHARED_DATA</dt>
+    <dd>The file contains settings valid for all users. If a user changes a setting
+    then it takes precedence over the setting from UNO_JAVA_JFW_SHARED_DATA.
+    The content of this file is an implementation detail and may change in the future.</dd>
+    </dl>
+
+    <p>The values for these parameters must be file URLs and include the file name, for
+    example:<br>
+    file:///d:/MyApp/javavendors.xml<br>
+    All files are XML files and must have the extension .xml.</p>
+    <p>
+    Modifying the shared settings is currently not supported by the framework. To provide
+    Java settings for all users one can run OOo and change the settings in the
+    options dialog. These settings are made persistent in the UNO_JAVA_JFW_USER_DATA.
+    The file can then be copied into the base installation.
+    Other users will use automatically these data but can override the settings in
+    the options dialog. This mechanism may change in the future.
+    </p>
+    <p>If shared Java settings are not supported by an application then it is not
+    necessary to specify the bootstrap parameter <code>UNO_JAVA_JFW_SHARED_DATA</code>.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>Setting the class path used by a Java VM should not be necessary. The locations
+    of Jar files should be known by a class loader. If a jar file depends on another
+    jar file then it can be referenced in the manifest file of the first jar. However,
+    a user may add jars to the class path by using this API. If it becomes necessary
+    to add files to the class path which is to be used by all users then one can use
+    the bootstrap parameter UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH_URLS. The value contains of file URLs
+    which must be separated by spaces.</p>
+
+
+    <h2>Direct Mode</h2>
+
+    <p>The direct mode is intended for a scenario where no configuration files
+    are available and a Java VM  shall be run. That is,
+    the files containing the user and shared settings are not specified by the
+    bootstrap parameters UNO_JAVA_JFW_SHARED_DATA and UNO_JAVA_JFW_USER_DATA.
+    For example, tools, such as regcomp, may use this  framework in a build
+    environment. Then one would want to use settings which have been specified
+    by the build environment. The framework would automatically use the
+    current settings when they change in the environment.
+    </p>
+
+    <p> Here are examples how regcomp could be invoked using bootstrap parameters:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    regcomp -env:UNO_JAVA_JFW_JREHOME=file:///d:/j2re1.4.2
+    -env:&quot;UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH=d:\\solver\\bin\\classes.jar;d:\\solver\\bin\\libreoffice.jar&quot;
+    -register...
+    </p>
+    <p>If UNO_JAVA_JFW_VENDOR_SETTINGS is not set then a plugin library must be specified. For example:</p>
+    <p>
+    regcomp -env:UNO_JAVA_JFW_JREHOME=file:///d:/j2re1.4.2
+    -env:&quot;UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH=d:\\solver\\bin\\classes.jar;d:\\solver\\bin\\libreoffice.jar&quot;
+    -register...
+    </p>
+    <p>Additional parameters for the Java VM can be provided. For every parameter
+    a separate bootstrap parameter must be specified. The names are
+    <code>UNO_JAVA_JFW_PARAMETER_X</code>, where X is 1,2, .. n. For example:</p>
+    <p>
+    regcomp -env:UNO_JAVA_JFW_PARAMETER_1=-Xdebug
+    -env:UNO_JAVA_JFW_PARAMETER_2=-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8100
+    -env:UNO_JAVA_JFW_JREHOME=file:///d:/j2re1.4.2
+    -env:&quot;UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH=d:\\solver\\bin\\classes.jar;d:\\solver\\bin\\libreoffice.jar&quot;
+    -register...</p>
+    <p>
+    Here is a complete list of the bootstrap parameter for the direct mode:
+    </p>
+    <dl>
+    <dt>UNO_JAVA_JFW_JREHOME</dt>
+    <dd>Specifies a file URL to a JRE installation.It must ALWAYS be specified
+    in direct mode</dd>
+    <dt>UNO_JAVA_JFW_ENV_JREHOME</dt>
+    <dd>Setting this parameter, for example to &quot;1&quot; or &quot;true&quot;,
+    causes the framework to use the environment variable JAVA_HOME. It is expected
+    that JAVA_HOME contains a system path rather than a file URL. This parameter
+    and UNO_JAVA_JFW_JREHOME are mutually exclusive</dd>
+    <dt>UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH</dt>
+    <dd>Contains the class path which is to be used by the VM. Special character,
+    such as '\','{','}','$' must be preceded with '\'. See documentation about the
+    bootstrap parameter.</dd>
+    <dt>UNO_JAVA_JFW_ENV_CLASSPATH</dt>
+    <dd>Setting this parameter,for example to &quot;1&quot; or &quot;true&quot;,
+    causes the framework to use the
+    environment variable CLASSPATH. If this variable and UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH are
+    set then the class path is composed from UNO_JAVA_JFW_CLASSPATH and the environment
+    variable CLASSPATH.</dd>
+    <dt>UNO_JAVA_JFW_PARAMETER_X</dt>
+    <dd>Specifies a parameter for the Java VM. The X is replaced by
+    non-negative natural numbers starting with 1.</dd>
+    </dl>
+
+    <p>A note about bootstrap parameters. The implementation of the bootstrap
+    parameter mechanism interprets the characters '\', '$', '{', '}' as
+    escape characters. That's why the Windows path contain double back-slashes.
+    One should also take into account that a console may have also special
+    escape characters.</p>
+
+    <h2>What mode is used</h2>
+    <p>
+    The default mode is application mode. If at least one bootstrap parameter
+    for the direct mode is provided then direct mode is used. </p>
+
+    <p>
+    All settings made by this API are done for the current user if not
+    mentioned differently.</p>

+    In trying to obtain a value, the same set of conversions as supported by

+
+    The returned object is a proxy.  Proxies can be either positive or negative.
+    Each proxy can be contextually converted to bool, yielding true iff the

+    type T, for any T other than void, the expression *P yields that value of
+    type T.  (Technically, the proxy is either a plain pointer or a
+    std::optional, depending on whether a plain pointer into the given Any can
+    be returned for the specified type.)
+
+    @attention A proxy returned from this function must not outlive the
+    corresponding Any passed into this function (as it may constitute a pointer
+    into the Any's internals).  That is the reason why this function is

+    std::optional (which would be needed to implement the proxies) is only
+    available since C++14, we need to use std::optional for now.  But To not

+
+        This template provides copy-on-write semantics for the wrapped
+        type: when copying, the operation is performed shallow,
+        i.e. different cow_wrapper objects share the same underlying
+        instance. Only when accessing the underlying object via
+        non-const methods, a unique copy is provided.
+
+        The type parameter <code>T</code> must satisfy the following
+        requirements: it must be default-constructible, copyable (it
+        need not be assignable), and be of non-reference type. Note
+        that, despite the fact that this template provides access to
+        the wrapped type via pointer-like methods
+        (<code>operator->()</code> and <code>operator*()</code>), it does
+        <em>not</em> work like e.g. the std smart pointer wrappers
+        (shared_ptr, unique_ptr, etc.). Internally, the cow_wrapper
+        holds a by-value instance of the wrapped object. This is to
+        avoid one additional heap allocation, and providing access via
+        <code>operator->()</code>/<code>operator*()</code> is because
+        <code>operator.()</code> cannot be overridden.
+
+        Regarding thread safety: this wrapper is <em>not</em>
+        thread-safe per se, because cow_wrapper has no way of
+        synchronizing the potentially many different cow_wrapper
+        instances, that reference a single shared value_type
+        instance. That said, when passing
+        <code>ThreadSafeRefCountingPolicy</code> as the
+        <code>MTPolicy</code> parameter, accessing a thread-safe
+        pointee through multiple cow_wrapper instances might be
+        thread-safe, if the individual pointee methods are
+        thread-safe, <em>including</em> pointee's copy
+        constructor. Any wrapped object that needs external
+        synchronisation (e.g. via an external mutex, which arbitrates
+        access to object methods, and can be held across multiple
+        object method calls) cannot easily be dealt with in a
+        thread-safe way, because, as noted, objects are shared behind
+        the client's back.
+
+        @attention if one wants to use the pimpl idiom together with
+        cow_wrapper (i.e. put an opaque type into the cow_wrapper),
+        then <em>all<em> methods in the surrounding class needs to be
+        non-inline (<em>including</em> destructor, copy constructor
+        and assignment operator).
+
+        @example
+        <pre>
+class cow_wrapper_client_impl;
+
+class cow_wrapper_client
+{
+public:
+    cow_wrapper_client();
+    cow_wrapper_client( const cow_wrapper_client& );
+    cow_wrapper_client( cow_wrapper_client&& );
+    ~cow_wrapper_client();
+

+/**
+ Class for storing a stream of xml tokens.
+
+ A part of an XML file can be parsed and stored in this stream, from which it can be read
+ as if parsed linearly. The purpose of this class is to allow simpler handling of XML
+ files, unlike the usual LO way of using callbacks, context handlers and similar needlessly
+ complicated stuff (YMMV).
+
+ The advantages of this approach is easy to read and debug code (as it is just functions
+ reading tokens one by one and calling other functions, compared to having to use callbacks
+ and temporary storage). The disadvantage is that the XML structure needs to be handled
+ manually by the code.
+
+ Note that tag identifiers are simply int values and the API does not care besides matching
+ their values to XML stream contents and requiring that the values are not as high as TAG_OPENING.
+ Be prepared for the fact that some of the functions may throw exceptions if the input
+ stream does not match the required token (TBD).
+
+ The API tries to make the common idioms as simple as possible, see the following examples.
+
+ Parse <tagone attr="value"><tagtwo>text</tagtwo></tagone> , where tagtwo is optional:
+ @code
+XmlStream::Tag tagoneTag = stream.ensureOpeningTag( tagone );
+if( attributeTag.hasAttribute( attr ))
+    ... = attributeTag.attribute( attr, defaultValueOfTheRightType );
+if( XmlStream::Tag tagtwoTag = stream.checkOpeningTag( tagtwo ))
+{
+    ... = tagtwoTag.text;
+    stream.ensureClosingTag( tagtwo );
+}
+stream.ensureClosingTag( tagone );
+ @endcode
+
+ Parse an element that may contain several sub-elements of different types in random order:
+ @code
+stream.ensureOpeningTag( element );
+while( !stream.atEnd() && stream.currentToken() != CLOSING( element ))
+    {
+    switch( stream.currentToken())
+    {
+        case OPENING( subelement1 ):
+            handleSubElement1();
+            break;
+        case OPENING( subelement2 ):
+            ... process subelement2;
+            break;
+        default:
+            stream.handleUnexpectedTag();
+            break;
+    }
+stream.ensureClosingTag( element );
+ @endcode
+
+ If there may not be a zero number of sub-elements, use a helper bool variable or use a do-while loop.
+
+ Parse an element that may contain an unknown number of sub-elements of the same type:
+ @code
+stream.ensureOpeningTag( element );
+while( !stream.atEnd() && stream.findTag( OPENING( subelement )))
+    {
+    handleSubelement();
+    }
+stream.ensureClosingTag( element );
+ @endcode
+
+ If there may not be a zero number of sub-elements, use a helper bool variable or use a do-while loop.

+/** Base class for objects that attach a macro to a specific action.
+
+    Purpose is to collect objects that need to attach a VBA macro to an action.
+    The VBA project will be loaded at a very late point of the document import
+    process, because it depends on an initialized core document model (e.g.
+    spreadsheet codenames). Some objects that want to attach a VBA macro to an
+    action (e.g. mouse click action for drawing shapes) are loaded long before
+    the VBA project. The drawback is that in most cases macros are specified
+    without module name, or the VBA project name is part of the macro name.
+    In the former case, all code modules have to be scanned for the macro to be
+    able to create a valid script URL.
+
+    The import code will register these requests to attach a VBA macro with an
+    instance of a class derived from this base class. The derived class will
+    store all information needed to finally attach the macro to the action,
+    once the VBA project has been imported.

+    @deprecated
+    The facilities provided by this header are deprecated.  True assertions
+    (that detect broken program logic) should use standard assert (which aborts
+    if an assertion fails, and is controlled by the standard NDEBUG macro).
+    Logging of warnings (e.g., about malformed input) and traces (e.g., about
+    steps taken while executing some protocol) should use the facilities
+    provided by (C++ only) sal/log.hxx.
+
+    Because the assertion macros (OSL_ASSERT, OSL_ENSURE, OSL_FAIL, OSL_PRECOND,
+    and OSL_POSTCOND) have been used for true assertions as well as for logged
+    warnings, they map to SAL_WARN instead of standard assert.  OSL_TRACE maps
+    to SAL_INFO.
+
+    The functions defined in this header are not intended to be used directly,
+    but through defined macros. The macros can be divided into three categories:
+    assertions, traces and other stuff .-) Their usability depends on the value
+    of OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL macro: assertions are only active if OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL is 1
+    or greater, traces if OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL is 2 or greater.
+
+    Traces:
+    OSL_TRACE(fmt, args...)
+        Prints trace message. The arguments have the same meaning as the

+/** A platform specific macro needed to make double-checked locking work.
+
+    See
+    <http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/memoryModel/DoubleCheckedLocking.html>
+    for a description of double-checked locking, why it is broken, and how it
+    can be fixed.  On platforms where it is necessary, this macro will expand
+    to some memory barrier instruction.  On many platforms, double-checked
+    locking works as it is, though, so on those platforms this macro will be
+    empty.  This is a macro instead of a (C++ inline) function to allow for
+    maximum performance in both C and C++.
+
+    If possible, use the rtl_Instance template instead of explicitly spelling
+    out the double-checked locking pattern.  There are few cases where you
+    will have to spell it out explicitly (e.g., the logic of a certain
+    instance of the pattern is too complex to be mapped to the template, or
+    some compiler refuses to compile a template instantiation due to internal
+    compiler errors), though, and you should always call this macro at the
+    right places then:
+
+    @code{.cpp}
+      static T * pInstance = 0;
+
+      T * p = pInstance;
+      if (!p)
+      {
+          Guard aGuard(aMutex);
+          p = pInstance;
+          if (!p)
+          {
+              p = ...;
+              OSL_DOUBLE_CHECKED_LOCKING_MEMORY_BARRIER();

+
+Main goals and usage hints
+
+The main intention of this interface is to provide a universal portable and
+high performance access to file system functionality on any operating
+system.
+
+There are a few main goals:
+
+1. The path specifications always has to be absolute. Any usage of relative
+path specifications is forbidden. Exceptions are osl_getSystemPathFromFileURL,
+osl_getFileURLFromSystemPath and osl_getAbsoluteFileURL. Most operating
+systems provide a "Current Directory" per process. This is the reason why
+relative path specifications can cause problems in multithreading
+environments.
+
+2. Proprietary notations of file paths are not supported. Every path notation
+must the file URL specification. File URLs must be encoded in UTF8 and after
+that escaped. Although the URL parameter is a unicode string, the must
+contain only ASCII characters.
+
+3. The caller cannot get any information whether a file system is case
+sensitive, case preserving or not. The operating system implementation
+itself should determine if it can map case-insensitive paths. The case
+correct notation of a filename or file path is part of the "File Info". This
+case correct name can be used as a unique key if necessary.
+
+4. Obtaining information about files or volumes is controlled by a bitmask
+which specifies which fields are of interest. Due to performance reasons it
+is not recommended to obtain information which is not needed.  But if the
+operating system provides more information anyway the implementation can set
+more fields on output as were requested. It is in the responsibility of the
+caller to decide if they use this additional information or not. But they
+should do so to prevent further unnecessary calls if the information is
+already there.
+
+The input bitmask supports a flag osl_FileStatus_Mask_Validate which can be
+used to force retrieving uncached validated information. Setting this flag
+when calling osl_getFileStatus in combination with no other flag is a synonym
+for a "FileExists". This should only be done when processing a single file
+(i.e. before opening) and NEVER during enumeration of directory contents on
+any step of information processing. This would change the runtime behaviour
+from O(n) to O(n*n/2) on nearly every file system.  On Windows NT reading the
+contents of a directory with 7000 entries and getting full information about
+every file only takes 0.6 seconds. Specifying the flag
+osl_FileStatus_Mask_Validate for each entry will increase the time to 180
+seconds (!!!).

+/**
+   @file
+
+   The described concept provides a platform independent way to access
+   minimum bootstrap settings for every application by explicitly or
+   implicitly passing the values to the application.
+
+   <strong>MULTI-LEVEL STRATEGY FOR RETRIEVAL OF BOOTSTRAP VALUES:</strong>
+
+   The 1st level is tried first. On failure,
+   the next level is tried. Every query starts at the first level again, so
+   that one setting may be taken from the 3rd and one from the 1st level.
+
+   1st level: explicitly set variables via rtl_bootstrap_set()
+
+   2nd level: command line arguments. A `-env:SETTINGNAME=value` is given on
+   command line. This allows giving an application a certain setting, even
+   if an ini-file exists (especially useful for e.g. daemons that want to
+   start an executable with dynamical changing settings).
+
+   3rd level: environment variables. The application tries to get the
+   setting from the environment.
+
+   4th level: executable ini-file. Every application looks for an ini-file.
+   The filename defaults to `/absolute/path/to/executable[rc|.ini]`
+   without .bin or .exe suffix. The ini-filename can be
+   set by the special command line parameter
+   `-env:INIFILENAME=/absolute/path/to/inifile` at runtime or it may
+   be set at compile time by an API-call.
+
+   5th level: URE_BOOTSTRAP ini-file. If the bootstrap variable URE_BOOTSTRAP
+   expands to the URL of an ini-file, that ini-file is searched.
+
+   6th level: default. An application can have some default settings decided
+   at compile time, which allow the application to run even with no
+   deployment settings.
+
+   If neither of the above levels leads to a successful retrieval of the value
+   (no default possible), the application may fail to start.
+
+   <strong>NAMING CONVENTIONS</strong>
+
+   Naming conventions for names of bootstrap values:
+   Names may only include characters, that are allowed characters for
+   environment variables. This excludes '.', ' ', ';', ':' and any non-ascii
+   character. Names are case insensitive.
+
+   An ini-file is only allowed to have one section, which must be named
+   `[Bootstrap]` with the square brackets.
+   The section may be omitted.
+   The section name does not appear in the name of the corresponding
+   environment variable or commandline arg.
+   Values may be arbitrary unicode strings, they must be encoded in UTF8.
+
+   <em>Example:</em>
+
+   in an ini-file:
+   <code>
+   [Sectionname]
+   Name=value
+   </code>
+
+   as commandline arg:
+   <code>-env:Name=value</code>
+
+   as environment:
+   - <code>setenv Name value</code>
+   - <code>set Name=value</code>
+
+   <strong>SPECIAL VARIABLES:</strong>
+
+   - INIFILENAME<br>
+     This variable allows to set the inifilename. This makes only sense, if the filename
+     is different than the executable file name. It must be given on command line. If it is
+     given the executable ini-file is ignored.
+*/
+
+/** may be called by an application to set an ini-filename.
+
+    Must be called before rtl_bootstrap_get(). May not be called twice.
+    If it is never called, the filename is based on the name of the executable,
+    with the suffix ".ini" on Windows or "rc" on Unix.
+
+    @param pFileUri URL of the inifile with path but WITHOUT suffix (.ini or rc)

+/** A non-broken version of the double-checked locking pattern.
+
+    See
+    <http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/memoryModel/DoubleCheckedLocking.html>
+    for a description of double-checked locking, why it is broken, and how it
+    can be fixed.  Always use this template instead of spelling out the
+    double-checked locking pattern explicitly, and only in those rare cases
+    where that is not possible and you have to spell it out explicitly, at
+    least call OSL_DOUBLE_CHECKED_LOCKING_MEMORY_BARRIER() at the right
+    places.  That way, all platform-dependent code to make double-checked
+    locking work can be kept in one place.
+
+    Usage scenarios:
+
+    1  Static instance (most common case)
+
+    Pattern:
+
+      T * getInstance()
+      {
+          static T * pInstance = 0;

+              if (!pInstance)
+              {
+                  static T aInstance;
+                  pInstance = &aInstance;
+              }
+          }
+          return pInstance;
+      }
+
+    Code:

+      }
+
+    2  Dynamic instance
+
+    Pattern:

+
+      T * getInstance()

+              Init(), ::osl::GetGlobalMutex());
+      }
+
+    3  Other guard/mutex
+
+    Pattern:
+
+      T * getInstance()
+      {
+          static T * pInstance = 0;
+          if (!pInstance)

+              }
+          }
+          return pInstance;
+      }
+
+    Code:

+              InitInstance(), InitMutex());
+      }
+
+    4  Calculate extra data
+
+    Pattern:

+      T * getInstance()
+      {
+          static T * pInstance = 0;
+          if (!pInstance)

+              ::osl::MutexGuard aGuard(::osl::Mutex::getGlobalMutex());
+              if (!pInstance)
+              {
+                  static T aInstance(aData);
+                  pInstance = &aInstance;

+                               ::osl::MutexGuard, ::osl::GetGlobalMutex,
+                               Data, InitData >::create(
+              InitInstance(), ::osl::GetGlobalMutex(), InitData());
+      }
+
+    Some comments:
+
+    For any instantiation of rtl_Instance, at most one call to a create method
+    may occur in the program code:  Each occurrence of a create method within
+    the program code is supposed to return a fresh object instance on the
+    first call, and that same object instance on subsequent calls; but
+    independent occurrences of create methods are supposed to return
+    independent object instances.  Since there is a one-to-one correspondence
+    between object instances and instantiations of rtl_Instance, the
+    requirement should be clear.  One measure to enforce the requirement is
+    that rtl_Instance lives in an unnamed namespace, so that instantiations of
+    rtl_Instance in different translation units will definitely be different
+    instantiations.  A drawback of that measure is that the name of the class
+    needs a funny "hand coded" prefix "rtl_" instead of a proper namespace
+    prefix like "::rtl::".
+
+    A known problem with this template is when two occurrences of calls to
+    create methods with identical template arguments appear in one translation
+    unit.  Those two places will share a single object instance.  This can be
+    avoided by using different Init structs (see the above code samples) in
+    the two places.
+
+    There is no need to make m_pInstance volatile, in order to avoid usage of
+    stale copies of m_pInstance:  At the first check, a thread will see that
+    m_pInstance contains either 0 or a valid pointer.  If it contains a valid
+    pointer, it cannot be stale, and that pointer is used.  If it contains 0,
+    acquiring the mutex will ensure that the second check sees a non-stale
+    value in all cases.
+
+    On some compilers, the create methods would not be inlined if they
+    contained any static variables, so m_pInstance is made a class member
+    instead (and the create methods are inlined).  But on MSC, the definition
+    of the class member m_pInstance would cause compilation to fail with an
+    internal compiler error.  Since MSC is able to inline methods containing
+    static variables, m_pInstance is moved into the methods there.  Note that
+    this only works well because for any instantiation of rtl_Instance at most
+    one call to a create method should be present, anyway.

+/**
+  This String class provide base functionality for C++ like 8-Bit
+  character array handling. The advantage of this class is, that it
+  handle all the memory management for you - and it do it
+  more efficient. If you assign a string to another string, the
+  data of both strings are shared (without any copy operation or
+  memory allocation) as long as you do not change the string. This class
+  stores also the length of the string, so that many operations are
+  faster as the C-str-functions.
+
+  This class provides only readonly string handling. So you could create
+  a string and you could only query the content from this string.
+  It provides also functionality to change the string, but this results
+  in every case in a new string instance (in the most cases with an
+  memory allocation). You don't have functionality to change the
+  content of the string. If you want to change the string content, then
+  you should use the OStringBuffer class, which provides these
+  functionalities and avoid too much memory allocation.
+
+  The design of this class is similar to the string classes in Java
+  and so more people should have fewer understanding problems when they
+  use this class.

+Implementation of efficient string concatenation.
+
+The whole system is built around two basic template classes:
+- ToStringHelper< T > - for each T it can give the length of the resulting string representation and can write
+    this string representation to a buffer
+- O(U)StringConcat< T1, T2 > - operator+ now, instead of creating O(U)String object, returns only this helper object,
+    that keeps a reference to both operator+ operands; only when converted to O(U)String it will actually create
+    the resulting string object using ToStringHelper, creating directly the resulting object without any string
+    intermediate objects
+As all the code is inline methods, it allows for extensive optimization and will usually result in very effective code
+(even surpassing strlen/strcat and equalling handwritten), while allowing for very easy and intuitive syntax.

+These templates use SFINAE (Substitution failure is not an error) to help distinguish the various
+plain C string types: char*, const char*, char[N], const char[N], char[] and const char[].
+There are 2 cases:
+1) Only string literal (i.e. const char[N]) is wanted, not any of the others.
+    In this case it is necessary to distinguish between const char[N] and char[N], as the latter
+    would be automatically converted to the const variant, which is not wanted (not a string literal
+    with known size of the content). In this case ConstCharArrayDetector is used to ensure the function
+    is called only with const char[N] arguments. There's no other plain C string type overload.
+    (Note that OUStringChar is also covered by ConstCharArrayDetector's TypeUtf16 check, but
+    provides a pointer to a string that is not NUL-terminated, unlike the char16_t const[N] arrays
+    normally covered by that check, and which are assumed to represent NUL-terminated string
+    literals.)
+2) All plain C string types are wanted, and const char[N] needs to be handled differently.
+    In this case const char[N] would match const char* argument type (not exactly sure why, but it's
+    consistent in all of gcc, clang and msvc). Using a template with a reference to const of the type
+    avoids this problem, and CharPtrDetector ensures that the function is called only with char pointer
+    arguments. The const in the argument is necessary to handle the case when something is explicitly
+    cast to const char*. Additionally (non-const) char[N] needs to be handled, but with the reference
+    being const, it would also match const char[N], so another overload with a reference to non-const
+    and NonConstCharArrayDetector are used to ensure the function is called only with (non-const) char[N].
+Additionally, char[] and const char[] (i.e. size unknown) are rather tricky. Their usage with 'T&' would
+mean it would be 'char(&)[]', which seems to be invalid. But gcc and clang somehow manage when it is
+a template. while msvc complains about no conversion from char[] to char[1]. And the reference cannot
+be avoided, because 'const char[]' as argument type would match also 'const char[N]'
+So char[] and const char[] should always be used with their contents specified (which automatically
+turns them into char[N] or const char[N]), or char* and const char* should be used.

+        that the following bytes constitute a character from another character
+        repertoire) do not imply that encodings making use of these characters
+        have the CONTEXT property.  Examples of encodings that do have the
+        CONTEXT property are the ISO-2022 encodings and UTF-7.
+
+        RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_ASCII:  The encoding is a superset of ASCII.  More
+        specifically, any appearance of a byte in the range 0x20--7F denotes the
+        corresponding ASCII character (from SPACE to DELETE); in particular,
+        such a byte cannot be part of a multi-byte character.  Note that the
+        ASCII control codes 0x00--1F are not included here, as they are used for
+        special purposes in some encodings.
+
+        If an encoding has this property, it is easy to search for occurrences of
+        ASCII characters within strings of this encoding---you do not need to
+        keep track whether a byte in the range 0x20--7F really represents an
+        ASCII character or rather is part of some multi-byte character.
+
+        The guarantees when mapping between Unicode and a given encoding with
+        the ASCII property are as follows:  When mapping from Unicode to the
+        given encoding, U+0020--007F map to 0x20--7F (but there can also be
+        other Unicode characters mapping into the range 0x20--7F), and when
+        mapping from the given encoding to Unicode, 0x20--7F map to U+0020--007F
+        (again, there can also be other characters mapping into the range
+        U+0020--007F).  In particular, this ensures round-trip conversion for
+        the ASCII range.
+
+        In principle, the ASCII property is orthogonal to the CONTEXT property.
+        In practice, however, an encoding that has the ASCII property will most
+        likely not also have the CONTEXT property.
+
+        RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_UNICODE:  The encoding is based on the Unicode
+        character repertoire.
+
+        RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_MULTIBYTE:  A multi-byte encoding.
+
+        RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_R2L:  An encoding used mainly or exclusively for
+        languages written from right to left.
+
+        RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_7BIT:  A 7-bit instead of an 8-bit encoding.
+
+        RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_SYMBOL:  A (generic) encoding for symbol character
+        sets.
+
+        RTL_TEXTENCODING_INFO_MIME:  The encoding is registered as a MIME

+    encoded by that UTF-16 code unit sequence.

+    - Otherwise, if the index is at least two UTF-16 code units away from the
+    end of the sequence, and the sequence of two UTF-16 code units addressed by
+    the index constitutes a well-formed UTF-16 code unit sequence, the computed

+  This String class provides base functionality for C++ like Unicode
+  character array handling. The advantage of this class is that it
+  handles all the memory management for you - and it does it
+  more efficiently. If you assign a string to another string, the
+  data of both strings are shared (without any copy operation or
+  memory allocation) as long as you do not change the string. This class
+  also stores the length of the string, so that many operations are
+  faster than the C-str-functions.
+
+  This class provides only readonly string handling. So you could create
+  a string and you could only query the content from this string.
+  It provides also functionality to change the string, but this results
+  in every case in a new string instance (in the most cases with a
+  memory allocation). You don't have functionality to change the
+  content of the string. If you want to change the string content, then
+  you should use the OStringBuffer class, which provides these
+  functionalities and avoids too much memory allocation.
+
+  The design of this class is similar to the string classes in Java so
+  less people should have understanding problems when they use this class.

+        units.  For each index into this sequence (from zero to one less than
+        the length of the sequence, inclusive), a code point represented
+        starting at the given index is computed as follows:
+
+        - If the UTF-16 code unit addressed by the index constitutes a
+        well-formed UTF-16 code unit sequence, the computed code point is the
+        scalar value encoded by that UTF-16 code unit sequence.
+
+        - Otherwise, if the index is at least two UTF-16 code units away from
+        the end of the sequence, and the sequence of two UTF-16 code units
+        addressed by the index constitutes a well-formed UTF-16 code unit
+        sequence, the computed code point is the scalar value encoded by that
+        UTF-16 code unit sequence.
+
+        - Otherwise, the computed code point is the UTF-16 code unit addressed
+        by the index.  (This last case catches unmatched surrogates as well as
+        indices pointing into the middle of surrogate pairs.)
+
+        @param indexUtf16
+        pointer to a UTF-16 based index into this string; must not be null.  On
+        entry, the index must be in the range from zero to the length of this
+        string (in UTF-16 code units), inclusive.  Upon successful return, the
+        index will be updated to address the UTF-16 code unit that is the given
+        incrementCodePoints away from the initial index.
+
+        @param incrementCodePoints
+        the number of code points to move the given *indexUtf16.  If
+        non-negative, moving is done after determining the code point at the
+        index.  If negative, moving is done before determining the code point
+        at the (then updated) index.  The value must be such that the resulting
+        UTF-16 based index is in the range from zero to the length of this
+        string (in UTF-16 code units), inclusive.
+
+        @return
+        the code point (an integer in the range from 0 to 0x10FFFF, inclusive)
+        that is represented within this string starting at the index computed as
+        follows:  If incrementCodePoints is non-negative, the index is the
+        initial value of *indexUtf16; if incrementCodePoints is negative, the
+        index is the updated value of *indexUtf16.  In either case, the computed

+   <p>
+   A UUID is an identifier that is unique across both space and time,
+   with respect to the space of all UUIDs. To be precise, the UUID
+   consists of a finite bit space. Thus, collision cannot be avoided in
+   principle. A UUID can be used for multiple purposes, from tagging objects
+   with an extremely short lifetime, to reliably identifying very persistent
+   objects across a network.
+
+   <p>
+    The generation of UUIDs does not require that a registration
+    authority be contacted for each identifier. Instead, Version 4 UUIDs are
+    generated from (pseudo unique) sequences of (pseudo) random bits.

+@page sal_log_areas SAL debug areas
+
+@short List and description of areas for the SAL debug macros
+
+This is a list of areas that are used by the SAL_INFO family of macros.  See
+@ref sal_log "basic log functionality" for details about this functionality.
+
+If you need a debug area in some code, first check this list and use the
+appropriate area if it exists.  This list is not definite, if you need a new
+area, use it and add it to an appropriate section with an explanation.
+Generally, use the name of the relevant code module as the first area segment.
+Please keep all entries sorted.
+
+This list should give you an overview of which areas to enable when debugging
+certain functionality.

+
+    SAL_INFO(char const * area, expr),
+    SAL_INFO_IF(bool condition, char const * area, expr),
+    SAL_WARN(char const * area, expr),
+    SAL_WARN_IF(bool condition, char const * area, expr), and SAL_DEBUG(expr)
+    produce an info, warning, or debug log entry with a message produced by
+    piping items into a C++ std::ostringstream.  The given expr must be so that
+    the full expression "stream << expr" is valid, where stream is a variable of
+    type std::ostringstream.
+
+      SAL_INFO("foo", "string " << s << " of length " << n)
+
+    would be an example of such a call.
+
+    The composed message should be in UTF-8 and it should contain no vertical
+    formatting characters and no null characters
+
+    For the _IF variants, log output is only generated if the given condition is
+    true (in addition to the other conditions that have to be met).
+
+    The SAL_DEBUG macro is for temporary debug statements that are used while
+    working on code.  It is never meant to remain in the code.  It will always
+    simply output the given expression in debug builds.
+
+    For all the other macros, the given area argument must be non-null and must
+    match the regular expression
+
+    @verbatim
+      <area> ::= <segment>("."<segment>)*
+    @endverbatim
+
+    with
+
+    @verbatim
+      <segment> ::= [0-9a-z]+
+    @endverbatim
+
+    For a list of areas used see @ref sal_log_areas "SAL debug areas". Whenever
+    you use a new log area, add it to the file include/sal/log-areas.dox .
+
+    Whether these macros generate any log output is controlled in a two-stage
+    process.
+
+    First, at compile time the macros SAL_LOG_INFO and SAL_LOG_WARN,
+    respectively, control whether the INFO and WARN macros, respectively,
+    expand to actual code (in case the macro is defined, to any value) or to
+    no-ops (in case the macro is not defined).
+
+    Second, at runtime the environment variable SAL_LOG further limits which
+    macro calls actually generate log output.  The environment variable SAL_LOG
+    must either be unset or must match the regular expression
+
+    @verbatim
+      <env> ::= <switch>*
+    @endverbatim
+
+    with
+
+    @verbatim
+      <switch> ::= <sense><item>
+      <sense> ::= "+"|"-"
+      <item> ::= <flag>|<level>("."<area>)?
+      <flag> ::= "TIMESTAMP"|"RELATIVETIMER"|"FATAL"
+      <level> ::= "INFO"|"WARN"
+    @endverbatim
+
+    If the environment variable is unset, the setting "+WARN" is
+    assumed instead (which results in all warnings being output but no
+    infos).  If the given value does not match the regular expression,
+    "+INFO+WARN" is used instead (which in turn results in everything
+    being output).
+
+    The "+TIMESTAMP" flag causes each output line (as selected by the level
+    switch(es)) to be prefixed by a timestamp like 2016-08-18:14:04:43.
+
+    The "+RELATIVETIMER" flag causes each output line (as selected by
+    the level switch(es)) to be prefixed by a relative timestamp in
+    seconds since the first output line like 1.312.
+
+    The "+FATAL" flag will cause later matching rules to log and call
+    std::abort. This can be disabled at some later point by using the
+    "-FATAL" flag before specifying additional rules. The flag will just
+    abort on positive rules, as it doesn't seem to make sense to abort
+    on ignored output.
+
+    If both +TIMESTAMP and +RELATIVETIMER are specified, they are
+    output in that order.
+
+    Specifying a flag with a negative sense has no effect. Specifying
+    the same flag multiple times has no extra effect.
+
+    A given macro call's level (INFO or WARN) and area is matched against the
+    given switches as follows:  Only those switches for which the level matches
+    the given level and for which the area is a prefix (including both empty and
+    full prefixes) of the given area are considered.  Log output is generated if
+    and only if among the longest such switches (if any), there is at least one
+    that has a sense of "+".  (That is, if both +INFO.foo and -INFO.foo are
+    present, +INFO.foo wins.)
+
+    If no WARN selection is specified, but an INFO selection is, the
+    INFO selection is used for WARN messages, too.
+
+    For example, if SAL_LOG is "+INFO-INFO.foo+INFO.foo.bar", then calls like
+    SAL_INFO("foo.bar", ...), SAL_INFO("foo.bar.baz", ...), or
+    SAL_INFO("other", ...) generate output, while calls like
+    SAL_INFO("foo", ...) or SAL_INFO("foo.barzzz", ...) do not.
+
+    The generated log output consists of the optional timestamp, the given level
+    ("info" or "warn"), the given area, the process ID, the thread ID, the
+    source file, and the source line number, each followed by a colon, followed
+    by a space, the given message, and a newline.  The precise format of the log
+    output is subject to change.  The log output is printed to stderr without
+    further text encoding conversion.
+
+    On some systems, log output can be redirected to other log sinks,
+    notably a file provided as a system path and filename via
+    environment variable SAL_LOG_FILE; or to a syslog facility if
+    LibreOffice is suitably built, by setting environment variable
+    SAL_LOG_SYSLOG.

+/** A simple base implementation for reference-counted objects.
+
+    Classes that want to implement a reference-counting mechanism based on the
+    acquire()/release() interface should derive from this class.
+
+    The reason to have class local operators new and delete here is technical.
+    Imagine a class D derived from SimpleReferenceObject, but implemented in
+    another shared library that happens to use different global operators new
+    and delete from those used in this shared library (which, sadly, seems to
+    be possible with shared libraries).  Now, without the class local
+    operators new and delete here, a code sequence like "new D" would use the
+    global operator new as found in the other shared library, while the code
+    sequence "delete this" in release() would use the global operator delete
+    as found in this shared library---and these two operators would not be
+    guaranteed to match.
+
+    There are no overloaded operators new and delete for placement new here,
+    because it is felt that the concept of placement new does not work well
+    with the concept of reference-counted objects; so it seems best to simply
+    leave those operators out.
+
+    The same problem as with operators new and delete would also be there with
+    operators new[] and delete[].  But since arrays of reference-counted
+    objects are of no use, anyway, it seems best to simply
+    define operators new[] and delete[] as deleted.

+/** @short  template for implementing singleton classes.
+
+            Such classes can be instantiated every time they
+            are needed. But the internal wrapped object will
+            be created one times only. Of course it's used
+            resources are referenced one times only too.
+            This template hold it alive till the last
+            reference is gone. Further all operations
+            on this reference are threadsafe. Only
+            calls directly to the internal object (which modify
+            its state) must be made threadsafe by the object itself
+            or from outside.
+
+    @attention  To prevent the code against race conditions, it's not
+                allowed to start operations inside the ctor
+                of the internal wrapped object - especially operations
+                which needs a reference to the same singleton too.
+
+                The only chance to suppress such strange constellations
+                is a lazy-init mechanism.
+
+                <ul>
+                    <li>a) The singleton class can provide a special init()
+                           method, which must be called as first after creation.</li>
+                    <li>b) The singleton class can call a special impl_init()
+                           method implicit for every called interface method.</li>
+                </ul>
+
+                Note further that this singleton pattern can work only, if
+                all user of such singleton are located inside the same library!
+                Because static values can't be exported - e.g. from windows libraries.

+    However these instances will be handled by the Macro <SFX_BINDINGS>
+    or the associated <SfxViewFrame>.
+
+    The SfxBindings manages all of its Slot-Ids bound by the registered
+    controllers and keeps a cache of the <Slot-Server> respectively.
+    (it is what we call the combination of SfxShell instance and SfxSlot).
+    In the SfxBindings it is stored, if and in this case which controllers
+    that are dirty and which Slot-Server-Caches are dirty respectively.
+    It summarizes status queries (calls to the status methods specified
+    in the IDL) that are served by the same state methods, and handles
+    the simulation of <Pseudo-Slots>.

+
+    Description
+    ============
+
+    class ThumbnailView
+
+    This class allows the selection of an item. In the process items are
+    drawn side by side. The selection of items can be more clear than in a
+    ListBox shape for example in case of colors or samples.
+    The amount of columns drawn by the control and whether the items
+    should be encircled can be specified. Optional a NoSelection or name
+    field could be shown. By default image and color items are supported.
+    Items could be drawn by oneself if InsertItem() is only called with
+    an ID. To achieve this the UserDraw handler needs to be overridden. The
+    description text could be specified afterwards in case of UserDraw
+    and any other items.
+
+    Cross references
+
+    class ListBox
+
+    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+    WinBits
+
+    WB_VSCROLL          A scrollbar will be always shown. The visible number of
+                        lines have to be specified with SetLineCount() if this
+                        flag is set.
+    WB_TABSTOP          It is possible to jump into the ValueSet with the tab key.
+    WB_NOTABSTOP        It is not possible to jump into the ValueSet with the
+                        tab key.
+    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+    The number of columns must be either set with SetColCount() or
+    SetItemWidth(). If the number of columns is specified by SetColCount()
+    the width of the items will be calculated by the visible range.
+    If the items should have a static width, it has to be specified
+    with SetItemWidth(). In this case the number of columns will be calculated
+    by the visible range.
+
+    The number of rows is given by the number of items / number of columns. The
+    number of visible rows must either specified by SetLineCount() or
+    SetItemWidth(). If the number of visible rows is specified by SetLineCount(),
+    the height of the items will be calculated from the visible height. If the
+    items should have a fixed height it has to be specified with SetItemHeight().
+    In this case the number of visible rows is then calculated from the visible
+    height. If the number of visible rows is neither specified by SetLineCount()
+    nor by SetItemHeight() all rows will be shown. The height of the items will
+    be calculated by the visible height. If the number of visible rows is
+    specified by SetLineCount() or SetItemHeight() ValueSet does scroll
+    automatically when more lines are available, as are visible. If scrolling
+    should be also possible with a ScrollBar  WB_VSCROLL needs to be set.
+
+    The distance between the items can be increased by SetExtraSpacing(). The
+    distance, which will be shown between two items (both in x and in y), is
+    measured in pixels.
+
+    The exact window size for a specific item size can be calculated by
+    CalcWindowSizePixel(). To do this all relevant data (number of columns/...)
+    have to be specified and if no number of rows was set, all items need to
+    be inserted. If the window was created with WB_BORDER/Border=sal_True the
+    size has to be specified with SetOutputSizePixel(). In other cases different
+    size-methods can be used. With CalcItemSize() the inner and outer size of
+    an item could be calculated (for this the free space defined by
+    SetExtraSpacing() will not be included).
+
+    The background color could be specified by SetColor(), with which the image
+    or UserDraw items will be underlaid. If no color is specified the color
+    of other windows (WindowColor) will be used for the background.
+
+    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+    At first all items should be inserted and only then Show() should be called
+    since the output area will be precomputed. If this is not done the first
+    Paint will appear a little bit slower. Therefore the Control, if it is loaded
+    from the resource and only supplied with items during runtime, should be
+    loaded with Hide = sal_True and then displayed with Show().
+
+    In case of a visible Control the creation of the new output area could be
+    activated before Paint by calling Format().
+
+    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+    If Drag and Drop will be called from the ValueSet the Command-Handler has to
+    be overridden. From this StartDrag needs to be called. If this method returns
+    sal_True the drag-process could be initiated by  ExecuteDrag(), otherwise no
+    processing will take place. This method makes sure that ValueSet stops its
+    processing and as appropriate selects the entry. Therefore the calling of
+    Select-Handler within this function must be expected.
+
+    For dropping QueryDrop() and Drop() need to be overridden and ShowDropPos()
+    and HideDropPos() should be called within these methods.
+    To show the insertion point ShowDropPos() has to be called within the
+    QueryDrop-Handler. ShowDropPos() also scrolls the ValueSet if the passed
+    position is located at the window border. Furthermore ShowDropPos() returns
+    the position, at which the item should be inserted respectively which
+    insertion point was shown. If no insertion point was determined
+    VALUESET_ITEM_NOTFOUND will be returned. If the window was left during dragging
+    or the drag process is terminated HideDropPos() should be called in any case.
+
+    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+    This class is currently still in the SV-Tools. That's why the ValueSet needs
+    to be loaded as a Control out of the resource and the desired WinBits have
+    to be set (before Show) with SetStyle().

+ * The issue describes an Excel file which takes several hours to open.
+ * An analysis revealed that the time is spent searching for style sheets with linear scans in an array.
+ * This class implements access to the style sheets via their name in (usually) constant time.
+ *
+ * The return type for most methods is a vector of unsigned integers which denote the position
+ * of the style sheets in the vector, and not of pointers to style sheets.
+ * You will need a non-const StyleSheetPool to obtain the actual style sheets.
+ *
+ *
+ * Index-based access is required in several code portions. Hence we have to store the style sheets
+ * in a vector as well as in a map.

+        legacy currency formats no special attribution is converted, only the
+        default currency format of the locale is chosen, and that new fixed
+        currency codes are of course not converted to other currencies. The
+        method may also be used as a general method taking, converting and
+        inserting almost arbitrary format codes. To insert or use, for example,
+        the default currency format code matching the current locale, the

+            was empty, could not be converted or has errors, the eLnge locale's
+            standard number format is chosen instead. The index key is
+            guaranteed to represent some valid number format. If

+    Class computing border widths shared between Line style listbox and the
+    SvxBorderLine implementation.
+
+    This class doesn't know anything about units: it all depends on the different
+    values set. A border is composed of 2 lines separated by a gap. The computed
+    widths are the ones of each line and the gap and they can either be fix or vary.
+
+    The #m_nflags member will define which widths will vary (value 0 means that all
+    widths are fixed). The available flags are:
+     - CHANGE_LINE1
+     - CHANGE_LINE2
+     - CHANGE_DIST
+
+    For each line, the rate member is used as a multiplication factor is the width
+    isn't fixed. Otherwise it is the width in the unit expected by the client code.

+// * the multi selection flag is sometimes used as if it is for row selection, sometimes as if
+//   it's for column selection, too (and sometimes in an even stranger way :)
+// * it is not really defined like all these hundreds selection related flags/methods work together
+//   and influence each other. I do not understand it very well, but this may be my fault :)
+// * There is a GetColumnSelection, but it can't be used to determine the selected columns (at least
+//   not without a const_cast)
+//
+// We should clearly define this somewhere in the future. Or, even better, we should re-implement this

+
+class LineListBox
+
+Description
+
+Allows selection of line styles and sizes. Note that before first insert,
+units and window size need to be set. Supported units are typographic point
+(pt) and millimeters (mm). For SourceUnit, pt, mm and twips are supported.
+All scalar numbers in 1/100 of the corresponding unit.
+
+Line1 is the outer, Line2 the inner line, Distance is the distance between
+these two lines. If Line2 == 0, only Line1 will be shown. Defaults for
+source and target unit are FieldUnit::POINT.
+
+SetColor() sets the line color.
+
+Remarks
+
+Contrary to a simple ListBox, user-specific data are not supported.
+If UpdateMode is disabled, no data should be read, no selections
+should be set, and the return code shall be ignore, as in these are
+not defined in this mode. Also the bit WinBit WB_SORT may not be set.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+class FontNameBox
+
+Description
+
+Allows selection of fonts. The ListBox will be filled using Fill parameter,
+which is pointer to an FontList object.
+
+Calling EnableWYSIWYG() enables rendering the font name in the currently
+selected font.
+
+See also
+
+FontList; FontStyleBox; FontSizeBox; FontNameMenu
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+class FontStyleBox
+
+Description
+
+Allows select of FontStyle's. The parameter Fill points to a list
+of available font styles for the font.
+
+Reproduced styles are always added - this could change in future, as
+potentially not all applications [Draw,Equation,FontWork] can properly
+handle synthetic fonts. On filling, the previous name will be retained
+if possible.
+
+For DontKnow, the FontStyleBox should be filled with OUString(),
+so it will contain a list with the default attributes. The currently
+shown style probably needs to be reset by the application.
+

+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+class FontSizeBox
+
+Description
+
+Allows selection of font sizes. The values are retrieved via GetValue()
+and set via SetValue(). The Fill parameter fills the ListBox with the
+available sizes for the passed font.
+
+All sizes are in 1/10 typographic point (pt).
+
+The passed FontList must be retained until the next fill call.
+
+Additionally it supports a relative mod, which allows entering
+percentage values. This, eg., can be useful for template dialogs.
+This mode can only be enabled, but not disabled again.
+
+For DontKnow the FontSizeBox should be filled FontMetric(), so it will
+contain a list with the standard sizes. Th currently shown size
+probably needs to be reset by the application.

+Description
+============
+
+class FontList
+
+This class manages all fonts which can be display on one or two output devices.
+Additionally, this class offers methods for generating the StyleName from
+bold and italics or the missing attributes from a StyleName.
+Furthermore, this class can handle synthetically reproduced fonts.
+It also works with several standard controls and standard menus.
+
+Links:
+
+class FontNameBox, class FontStyleBox, class FontSizeBox,
+class FontNameMenu, class FontSizeMenu
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+FontList::FontList( OutputDevice* pDevice, OutputDevice* pDevice2 = NULL,
+                    bool bAll = true );
+
+Constructor of the FontList class. The relevant fonts will be queried from
+the OutputDevice. The OutputDevice needs to exist as long as the FontList
+class exists. Optionally, a second output device can be given in order to,
+e.g., manage the fonts from both, a printer and a screen in a single FontList
+and thus also give FontMenus the fonts if both OutputDevices.
+The pDevice2 needs to exist as long as the FontList class exists.
+
+The OutputDevice given first should be the preferred one. This is usually
+the printer. Because if two different device fonts (one for the printer and
+one for the screen) exist, the ones from the "pDevice" are preferred.
+
+The third parameter governs whether only scalable or all fonts shall be queried.
+With sal_True bitmap fonts will also be queried.
+With sal_False vectorized and scalable fonts will be queried.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+String FontList::GetStyleName( const FontMetric& rFontMetric ) const;
+
+This method returns the StyleName of a FontMetric.
+If no StyleName is set, a name will be generated from the set attributes.

+
+Description
+============
+
+class Ruler
+
+This class is used for displaying a ruler, but it can also be used
+for setting or moving tabs and margins.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+WinBits
+
+WB_HORZ             ruler is displayed horizontally
+WB_VERT             ruler is displayed vertically
+WB_3DLOOK           3D look
+WB_BORDER           border at the bottom/right margin
+WB_EXTRAFIELD       Field in the upper left corner for
+                    displaying and selecting tabs, origin of coordinates, ...
+WB_RIGHT_ALIGNED    Marks the vertical ruler as right aligned
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+All ruler parameters are set in pixel units. This way double conversions
+and rounding errors are avoided and the ruler displays the margins
+at their actual position in the document. Because of this, the application can,
+for example in tables, do its own roundings and the positions on the ruler will
+still match those in the document. However, for the ruler to know how the
+document is displayed on the screen, some additional values have to be configured
+
+SetWinPos() sets the offset of the ruler's edit window. In doing so,
+the width of the window can also be configured. If there is a 0 among the
+values passed to the function, the position/width is automatically set to
+the width of the ruler.
+
+SetPagePos() sets the offset of the page relative to the edit window and the
+width of the page. If there is a 0 among the values passed to the function,
+the position/width is automatically set as if the page filled the whole edit window.
+
+SetBorderPos() sets the offset of the border. The position is relative to
+the upper/left margin of the window. This is needed when there are a horizontal
+and a vertical ruler visible at the same time. Example:
+        aHRuler.SetBorderPos( aVRuler.GetSizePixel().Width()-1 );
+
+SetNullOffset() sets the origin relative to the page.
+
+All the other values (margins, indentation, tabs, ...) refer to the origin,
+which is set with SetNullOffset().
+
+The values are computed as described below:
+
+- WinPos (if both windows have the same parent)
+
+    Point aHRulerPos = aHRuler.GetPosPixel();
+    Point aEditWinPos = aEditWin.GetPosPixel();
+    aHRuler.SetWinPos( aEditWinPos().X() - aHRulerPos.X() );
+
+- PagePos
+
+    Point aPagePos = aEditWin.LogicToPixel( aEditWin.GetPagePos() );
+    aHRuler.SetPagePos( aPagePos().X() );
+
+- All other values
+
+    Add the logical values, recompute as position and subtract the
+    previously saved pixel positions (of PagePos and Null Offset).
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+SetUnit() and SetZoom() configure which unit is used to display
+the values on the ruler. The following units are accepted:
+
+    FieldUnit::MM
+    FieldUnit::CM (Default)
+    FieldUnit::M
+    FieldUnit::KM
+    FieldUnit::INCH
+    FieldUnit::FOOT
+    FieldUnit::MILE
+    FieldUnit::POINT
+    FieldUnit::PICA
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+SetMargin1() sets the upper/left margin and SetMargin2() sets the
+bottom/right margin. If these methods are called without arguments,
+no margins are displayed. Otherwise, the following arguments can be passed:
+
+    long    nPos            - offset in pixels relative to the origin
+    sal_uInt16 nStyle       - bit style:
+                                RULER_MARGIN_SIZEABLE
+                                margin size can be changed
+
+                                The following bits can be set in addition
+                                to these styles:
+                                RULER_STYLE_INVISIBLE
+
+
+SetBorders() sets an array of margins. To do this, an array of type RulerBorder
+has to be passed. In the array, the following values have to be initialized:
+
+    long    nPos            - offset in pixels relative to the origin
+    long    nWidth          - column spacing in pixels (can also be 0, for example,
+                              for table columns)
+    sal_uInt16 nStyle       - bit style:
+                                RulerBorderStyle::Sizeable
+                                Column spacing can be changed. This flag should
+                                only be set if the size of the spacing is changed,
+                                not that of a cell.
+                                RulerBorderStyle::Moveable
+                                Column spacing/border can be moved. Whenever
+                                table borders are to be moved, this flag should
+                                be set instead of SIZEABLE (SIZEABLE indicates
+                                that the size of a spacing, not that of a single
+                                cell can be changed).
+                                RulerBorderStyle::Variable
+                                Not all of the column spacings are equal
+                                RulerBorderStyle::Table
+                                Table border. Whenever this style is set, the column
+                                width must be 0.
+                                RulerBorderStyle::Snap
+                                Auxiliary line. Whenever this style is set, the
+                                column width must be 0.
+                                RulerBorderStyle::Margin
+                                Margin. Whenever this style is set, the column
+                                width must be 0.
+
+                                The following bits can be set in addition
+                                to these styles:
+                                RULER_STYLE_INVISIBLE
+
+SetIndents() sets an array of indents. This method may only be used for horizontal
+rulers. A Ruler Indent must be passed as an argument, with the following values
+initialized:
+
+    long    nPos            - offset relative to the origin in pixels
+    sal_uInt16 nStyle       - bit style:
+                                RulerIndentStyle::Top    (indent of the first line)
+                                RulerIndentStyle::Bottom (left/right indent)
+                                RulerIndentStyle::Border (Vertical line that shows the border distance)
+                                The following bits can be set in addition
+                                to these styles:
+                                RULER_STYLE_DONTKNOW (for old position or for
+                                                     ambiguity)
+                                RULER_STYLE_INVISIBLE
+
+SetTabs() sets an array of tabs. This method may only be used for horizontal rulers.
+An array of type RulerTab must be passed as an argument, with the following values
+initialized:
+
+    long    nPos            - offset relative to the origin in pixels
+    sal_uInt16 nStyle       - bit style:
+                                RULER_TAB_DEFAULT (can't be selected)
+                                RULER_TAB_LEFT
+                                RULER_TAB_CENTER
+                                RULER_TAB_RIGHT
+                                RULER_TAB_DECIMAL
+                                The following bits can be set in addition
+                                to these styles:
+                                RULER_STYLE_DONTKNOW (for old position of for
+                                                     ambiguity)
+                                RULER_STYLE_INVISIBLE
+
+SetLines() displays position lines in the ruler. An array of type RulerLine must be passed, with
+the following values initialized:
+
+    long    nPos            - offset relative to the origin in pixels
+    sal_uInt16 nStyle       - bit style (has to be 0 currently)
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If the user should also be able to change the margins tabs, borders, ...
+in the ruler, a bit more effort is necessary. In this case, the StartDrag(),
+Drag() and EndDrag() methods have to be overridden. For the StartDrag() method
+it is possible to prevent dragging by returning FALSE. In the drag handler,
+the drag position must be queried and the values must be moved to the new
+position. This is done by calling the particular Set methods. While in the
+drag handler, the values are just cached and only afterward the ruler is redrawn.
+All the handlers can also be set as links with the particular Set..Hdl() methods.
+
+    - StartDrag()
+        Is called when dragging is started. If FALSE is returned, the dragging.
+        won't be executed. If TRUE is returned, the dragging will be permitted.
+        If the handler isn't overridden, FALSE will be returned.
+
+    - EndDrag()
+        Is called at the end of dragging.
+
+    - Drag()
+        Is called when dragging takes place.
+
+    - Click()
+        This handler is called when no element has been clicked on.
+        The position can be queried with GetClickPos(). This way it is possible
+        to, for example, ser tabs in the ruler. After calling the click handler,
+        the drag, if any, is immediately triggered. This makes it possible to
+        set a new tab in the click handler and then immediately move it.
+
+    - DoubleClick()
+        This handler is called when a double-click has been performed outside
+        the special panel. The methods GetClickType(), GetClickAryPos() and
+        GetClickPos() can be used to query what has been clicked on.
+        This way you can, for example, show the tab dialog when a double-click
+        is performed on a tab.
+
+In the drag handler it is possible to query what has been dragged and where
+it has been dragged. There are the following query methods:
+
+    - GetDragType()
+        Returns what has been dragged.
+            RulerType::Margin1
+            RulerType::Margin2
+            RulerType::Border
+            RulerType::Indent
+            RulerType::Tab
+
+    - GetDragPos()
+        Returns the pixel position to which the user has moved the mouse
+        relative to the set zero-offset.
+
+    - GetDragAryPos()
+        Returns the index in the array if a border, an indent or a tab
+        is being dragged. Attention: During a drag process, the array position
+        of the item that has been set before the drag is returned.
+        Therefore, it is for example also possible, to no longer show a tab
+        if the mouse is dragged out of the ruler in bottom/right direction.
+
+    - GetDragSize()
+        If Borders are dragged, this can be used to query whether the size
+        resp. which side or the position should be changed.
+            RulerDragSize::Move or 0      - Move
+            RulerDragSize::N1                - left/upper border
+            RulerDragSize::N2                - right/bottom border
+
+    - IsDragDelete()
+        This method can be used to query whether the mouse has been
+        moved out of the window at the bottom/right while dragging.
+        By this, it can for example be determined whether the user
+        wants to delete a tab.
+
+    - IsDragCanceled()
+        Using this Handler, it can be queried in the EndDrag handler
+        whether the action was canceled by the user releasing the
+        mouse at the top/left of the window or by pressing ESC.
+        In this case, the values are not applied. If during the
+        dragging, the mouse is dragged out of the window at the
+        top/left, the old values are displayed automatically without
+        the Drag handler being called.
+        But if the user has moved the value to the old position, the
+        method returns 'false' nevertheless.
+        If this should be avoided, the application must remember the
+        old value in the StartDrag handler and compare the value in the
+        EndDrag handler.
+
+    - GetDragModifier()
+        Returns the modifier keys that were pressed when the Drag process
+        was started. See MouseEvent.
+
+    - GetClickPos()
+        Returns the pixel position at which the user has pressed the mouse
+        with respect to the configured null-offset.
+
+    - GetClickType()
+        Returns what is applied by double click:
+            RulerType::DontKnow             (no element in the ruler area)
+            RulerType::Outside              (outside of the ruler area)
+            RulerType::Margin1              (only Margin1 border)
+            RulerType::Margin2              (only Margin2 border)
+            RulerType::Border               (Border: GetClickAryPos())
+            RulerType::Indent               (indent: GetClickAryPos())
+            RulerType::Tab                  (Tab: GetClickAryPos())
+
+    - GetClickAryPos()
+        Returns the index in the array if a Border, an Indent or a Tab
+        is applied via DoubleClick.
+
+    - GetType()
+        This method can be used to carry out a HitTest,
+        in order to possibly also apply sth to an Item using the right
+        mouse button by catching the MouseButtonDown handler. As
+        parameters, the window position and possibly a pointer to a
+        sal_uInt16 are passed, in order to determine the array position
+        of a Tab, an Indent, or a Border. The following values are
+        returned as type:
+            RulerType::DontKnow             (no element in the ruler area)
+            RulerType::Outside              (outside of the ruler area)
+            RulerType::Margin1              (only Margin1 border)
+            RulerType::Margin2              (only Margin2 border)
+            RulerType::Border               (Border: GetClickAryPos())
+            RulerType::Indent               (indent: GetClickAryPos())
+            RulerType::Tab                  (Tab: GetClickAryPos())
+
+If the drag process should be canceled, this can be done using CancelDrag().
+There are the following methods for controlling the Drag:
+
+    - IsDrag()
+        Returns 'true' if the ruler is in a drag process.
+
+    - CancelDrag()
+        Cancels the drag process, if one is being carried out. During this,
+        the old values are restored and the Drag and the EndDrag handlers
+        are called.
+
+In order to trigger a Drag from the document, there are the following
+methods:
+
+    - StartDocDrag()
+        This method is passed the MouseEvent of the document window
+        and what should be dragged. If RulerType::DontKnow is passed
+        as DragType, the ruler decides what should be dragged. In case
+        of the other types, the Drag is only started if a respective
+        element was found at the given position.
+        This is for example necessary if indents and columns are located
+        at the same X position.
+        The return value indicates whether the Drag has been triggered.
+        If a Drag is triggered, the ruler takes over the normal drag
+        control and behaves as if the ruler had been clicked directly.
+        Thus, the ruler captures the mouse and also takes over control
+        of the Cancel (via keyboard, or if the mouse is moved outside
+        of the ruler above it or left of it). All handlers are called,
+        too (including the StartDrag handler). If a MouseEvent with
+        ClickCount 2 is passed, the DoubleClick handler is also called,
+        respectively.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+For the extra field, the content can be determined and there are handlers
+that can be used to handle specific actions.
+
+    - ExtraDown()
+        This handler is called when the mouse is pressed in the extra field.
+
+    - SetExtraType()
+        With this method, it can be defined what should be displayed in
+        the extra field.
+            - ExtraType         what should be displayed in the extra field
+                                RulerExtra::DontKnow        (nothing)
+                                RulerExtra::NullOffset      (coordinate axes)
+                                RulerExtra::Tab             (Tab)
+            - sal_uInt16 nStyle     bit field as style:
+                                    RULER_STYLE_HIGHLIGHT   (selected)
+                                    RULER_TAB_...           (a Tab style)
+
+    - GetExtraClick()
+        Returns the number of mouse clicks. By this, it is for example
+        also possible to trigger an action by a DoubleClick in the
+        extra field.
+
+    - GetExtraModifier()
+        Returns the modifier keys that were pressed when the extra field
+        was clicked. See MouseEvent.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Further helper functions:
+
+- static Ruler::DrawTab()
+    With this method, a Tab can be output on an OutputDevice.
+    By this, it is also possible to show the Tabs in dialogs like
+    they are drawn in the ruler.
+
+    This method outputs the Tab centred at the given position. The size
+    of the tabs can be defined by the defines RULER_TAB_WIDTH and
+    RULER_TAB_HEIGHT.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Tips for the use of the ruler:
+
+- For the ruler, neither in the Drag mode nor elsewhere, the setting
+  of the values must be bracketed in SetUpdateMode(). The ruler itself
+  takes care that, if multiple values are set, they are automatically
+  grouped together and output flicker-free.
+
+- Initially, the sizes, positions and values should be set first for the
+  ruler, before it is displayed. This is important because otherwise
+  many values are calculated unnecessarily.
+
+- When the document window, in which the ruler resides, becomes active
+  resp. unactive, the methods Activate() and Deactivate() should be
+  called by the ruler. That is so because the display is switched according
+  to the settings and the system.
+
+- For example, while dragging Tabs and Indents, the old positions should
+  also be shown if possible. For that, while setting the Tabs and Indents,
+  the old positions should be inserted first into the array in addition
+  and be linked with the style RULER_STYLE_DONTKNOW. After that, the
+  remaining values should be set in the array.
+
+- In case of multiple selected paragraphs and table cells, the Tabs and
+  Indents should be displayed in grey in front of the first cell resp.
+  the first paragraph. This can also be achieved by the style
+  RULER_STYLE_DONTKNOW.
+
+- The measuring arrow should always be shown when the Alt key (WW-Like)
+  is pressed during the drag. Maybe, this setting should be configurable
+  always and possibly the measuring arrows always be shown while
+  dragging. For all settings, the values should always be rounded to the
+  multiple of one value because the screen resolution is very imprecise.
+
+- DoubleClicks should be handled in the following way (GetClickType()):
+    - RulerType::DontKnow
+      RulerType::Margin1
+      RulerType::Margin2
+        If the conditions GetClickPos() <= GetMargin1() or
+        GetClickPos() >= GetMargin2() are met or the type is equal to
+        RulerType::Margin1 or RulerType::Margin2, a side dialog should
+        be displayed in which the focus is at the respective border.
+    - RulerType::Border
+        A column or table dialog should be shown in which the focus
+        is at the respective column that can be queried using
+        GetClickAryPos().
+    - RulerType::Indent
+        The dialog, in which the indents can be configured, should be
+        shown. In this, the focus should be on the indent which can
+        be queried using GetClickAryPos().
+    - RulerType::Tab
+        A TabDialog should be displayed in which the Tab, that can be
+        queried using GetClickAryPos(), should be selected.

+
+Allowed PageBits
+-----------------
+
+Setting page bits modify the display attributes of the tab name
+
+TabBarPageBits::Blue
+                - Display tab name in light blue, used in draw for
+                  invisible layers and in calc for scenario pages
+TabBarPageBits::Italic
+                - Display tab name italic, used in draw for

+TabBarPageBits::Underline
+                - Display tab name underlined, used in draw for
+                  non-printable layers
+
+
+Handlers
+-------
+
+Select          - is called when a tab is selected or unselected
+DoubleClick     - Is called when a DoubleClick has been fired in the
+                  TabBar. Inside of the handler, GetCurPageId() returns
+                  the clicked tab or 0, if no tab has been clicked.
+ActivatePage    - Is called, if another page is activated.
+                  GetCurPageId() returns the activated page.
+DeactivatePage  - Is called, when a page is deactivated. If another page
+                  may be activated, true must be returned; if another
+                  page shall be excluded from the activation, false must
+                  be returned. GetCurPageId() returns the page to be
+                  deactivated.
+
+
+Drag and Drop
+-------------
+
+For Drag and Drop, the WinBit WB_DRAG must be set. In addition, the
+Command handler, the QueryDrop handler and the Drop handler must be overlaid.
+In doing so, the following must be implemented in the handlers:
+
+Command         - If dragging should be started in this handler,
+                  StartDrag() must be called. This method
+                  then selects the respective entry or returns
+                  false, if dragging cannot be carried out.
+
+QueryDrop       - This handler is always called by StarView, when the
+                  mouse is pulled over the window while dragging
+                  (s.a. SV documentation). In this handler, it must be
+                  determined whether a drop is possible. The drop
+                  position can be shown in TabBar using ShowDropPos().
+                  When calling, the position of the Event must be passed.
+                  If the position is at the left or right border,
+                  scrolling automatically takes place in the TabBar.
+                  This method also returns the respective drop position,
+                  which is also needed for a drop. If the window is left
+                  while dragging, the drop position can be taken back
+                  using HideDropPos(). Thus, it is also possible to handle
+                  a drag which was triggered from outside the TabBar.
+
+Drop            - In the Drop handler, the pages have to be moved, or
+                  the new pages have to be inserted. The respective
+                  drop position can be determined using ShowDropPos().
+
+The following methods are needed for Drag and Drop and must be called
+by the handlers:
+
+StartDrag       - Must be called from the Command handler. As parameters,
+                  the CommandEvent and a reference to a Region must be
+                  passed. This vcl::Region then must be passed in
+                  ExecuteDrag(), if the return value indicates that
+                  ExecuteDrag shall be carried out. If the entry is not
+                  selected, it is set as the current entry beforehand.
+                  Because of this, attention must be paid that the Select
+                  handler can be called from this method.
+
+ShowDropPos     - This method must be called by the QueryDrop handler,
+                  so that the TabBar shows where the Tabs are
+                  inserted. This method can also be used in the Drop
+                  handler, in order to determine the position at which
+                  the Tabs shall be inserted. In the method, the
+                  position of the Event must be passed. This method
+                  returns the position, at which the Tabs shall be inserted.
+
+HideDropPos     - This method takes back the DropPosition previously
+                  displayed using ShowDropPos(). This method should be
+                  called, when the window is left in the QueryDrop()
+                  handler or the drag process has been ended.
+
+The following methods can be used if the pages should be switched
+in the Drag and Drop:
+
+SwitchPage      - This method must be called by the QueryDrop handler
+                  if the page, over which the mouse pointer resides,
+                  should be switched. This method should be called
+                  each time the QueryDrop-Handler is called.
+                  Switching the page happens with a delay (500 ms) and
+                  is automatically managed by this method.
+                  The Position of the Event must be passed in the method.
+                  This method returns true if the page has been switched.
+
+EndSwitchPage   - This method resets the data for the switching of the
+                  page. This method should be called when the window
+                  is left in QueryDrop() or the drag process has been
+                  ended.
+
+IsInSwitching   - With this method, it can be queried in
+                  ActivatePage()/DeactivatePage() whether this has been
+                  caused by SwitchPage(). Thus, for example, switching
+                  can be avoided in DeactivatePage() without an error
+                  box.
+
+
+Window Resize
+--------------
+
+If the window width can be changed by the user, the WinBit WB_SIZEABLE
+must be set. In this case, the following handler must be overlaid:
+
+Split           - When this handler is called, the window should be
+                  adapted to the width that is returned by GetSplitSize().
+                  In doing so, no minimal or maximum width is taken into
+                  account. A minimal size can be queried using
+                  GetMinSize() and the maximum width must be calculated
+                  by the application itself. As only Online Resize is
+                  supported, the window width must be changed inside
+                  this handler and possibly the width of dependent windows
+                  as well. For this handler, a link can also be set using
+                  SetSplitHdl().
+
+The following methods deliver more information while Splitting:
+
+GetSplitSize()  - Returns the width of the TabBar, to which the user
+                  wants to resize the window. No minimum or maximum
+                  width is taken into account. However, a width < 5
+                  is never returned. This method only returns valid
+                  values as long as splitting is active.
+
+GetMinSize()    - With this method, a minimum window width can be
+                  queried, so that at least something of a Tab is
+                  visible. Still, the TabBar can be set more narrow
+                  then the width that this method returns.
+                  This method can also be called, when no splitting
+                  is active.
+
+
+Edit Mode
+----------
+
+The TabBar also offers the user the possibility to change the names
+in the Tabs.
+
+EnableEditMode  - With this, it can be configured that on Alt+LeftClick,
+                  StartEditMode() is automatically called by the TabBar.
+                  In the StartRenaming() handler, the renaming can still
+                  be rejected.
+StartEditMode   - With this method, the EditMode is started on a Tab.
+                  false is returned, if the EditMode is already
+                  active, the mode is rejected with StartRenaming()
+                  or no space is available for editing.
+EndEditMode     - With this method, the EditMode is ended.
+SetEditText     - With this method, the text in the AllowRenaming()
+                  handler can still be replaced by another text.
+GetEditText     - With this method, the text, which the user has typed
+                  in, can be queried in the AllowRenaming() handler.
+IsInEditMode    - This method is used to query whether the EditMode
+                  is active.
+IsEditModeCanceled      - This method can be used in the EndRenaming()
+                          handler to query whether the renaming has
+                          been canceled.
+GetEditPageId   - With this method, the tab that is being/has been
+                  renamed is queried in the Renaming handlers.
+
+StartRenaming() - This handler is called when the EditMode hast been
+                  started using StartEditMode(). GetEditPageId()
+                  can be used to query which Tab should be renamed.
+                  false should be returned if the EditMod should
+                  not be started.
+AllowRenaming() - This handler is called when the EditMode is ended
+                  (not in case of Cancel). Within this handler, it
+                  can then be tested whether the text is OK.
+                  The Tab which was renamed can be queried using
+                  GetEditPageId().
+                  One of the following values should be returned:
+                  TAB_RENAMING_YES
+                  The Tab is renamed.
+                  TAB_RENAMING_NO
+                  The Tab is not renamed, but the EditMode remains
+                  active, so that the user can adapt the name
+                  accordingly.
+                  TAB_RENAMING_CANCEL
+                  The EditMode was cancelled and the old text
+                  is restored.
+EndRenaming()   - This handler is called when the EditMode has been
+                  ended. The tab that has been renamed can be
+                  queried using GetEditPageId(). Using
+                  IsEditModeCanceled(), it can be queried whether
+                  the mode has been cancelled and the name has
+                  thus not been changed.
+
+
+Maximum Page width
+-------------------
+
+The Page width of the tabs can be limited in order to make an easier
+navigation by them possible. If then, the text cannot be displayed
+completely, it is abbreviated with "..." and the whole text is
+displayed in the Tip or in the active help (if no help text is set).
+Using EnableAutoMaxPageWidth(), it can be configured whether the
+maximum page width should be based on the currently visible width
+(which is the default). Otherwise, the maximum page width can
+also be set using SetMaxPageWidth() (in pixels) (in this case, the
+AutoMaxPageWidth is ignored).
+
+ContextMenu
+-----------
+
+If a context-sensitive PopupMenu should be displayed, the Command
+handler must be overlaid. Using GetPageId() and when passing the
+mouse position, it can be determined whether the mouse click has been
+carried out over an item resp. over which item the mouse click has
+been carried out.

+Description
+============
+
+class ValueSet
+
+This class allows the selection of an item. In the process items are
+drawn side by side. The selection of items can be more clear than in a
+ListBox shape for example in case of colors or samples.
+The amount of columns drawn by the control and whether the items
+should be encircled can be specified. Optional a NoSelection or name
+field could be shown. By default image and color items are supported.
+Items could be drawn by oneself if InsertItem() is only called with
+an ID. To achieve this the UserDraw handler needs to be overridden. The
+description text could be specified afterwards in case of UserDraw
+and any other items.

+
+WinBits
+
+WB_FLATVALUESET     Flat Look (if you set WB_ITEMBORDER or WB_DOUBLEBORDER,
+                    then you get extra border space, but the Borders
+                    aren't painted),
+WB_ITEMBORDER       Items will be bordered
+WB_DOUBLEBORDER     Items will be bordered twice. Additionally WB_ITEMBORDER
+                    has to be set, as otherwise this WinBit wouldn't have any
+                    effect. It is needed if there are items with a white
+                    background, since otherwise the 3D effect wouldn't be
+                    recognizable.
+WB_NAMEFIELD        There is a namefield, where the name of an item will be
+                    shown.
+WB_NONEFIELD        There is a NoSelection field which can be selected if
+                    0 is passed along with SelectItem. Respectively
+                    GetSelectedItemId() returns 0 if this field or nothing
+                    is selected. This field shows the text which is specified
+                    by SetText() respectively no one, if no text was set. With
+                    SetNoSelection() the selection can be disabled.
+WB_VSCROLL          A scrollbar will be always shown. The visible number of
+                    lines have to be specified with SetLineCount() if this
+                    flag is set.
+WB_BORDER           A border will be drawn around the window.
+WB_TABSTOP          It is possible to jump into the ValueSet with the tab key.
+WB_NOTABSTOP        It is not possible to jump into the ValueSet with the
+                    tab key.
+WB_NO_DIRECTSELECT  Cursor travelling doesn't call select immediately. To
+                    execute the selection <RETURN> has to be pressed.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The number of columns must be either set with SetColCount() or
+SetItemWidth(). If the number of columns is specified by SetColCount()
+the width of the items will be calculated by the visible range.
+If the items should have a static width, it has to be specified
+with SetItemWidth(). In this case the number of columns will be calculated
+by the visible range.
+
+The number of rows is given by the number of items / number of columns. The
+number of visible rows must either specified by SetLineCount() or
+SetItemWidth(). If the number of visible rows is specified by SetLineCount(),
+the height of the items will be calculated from the visible height. If the
+items should have a fixed height it has to be specified with SetItemHeight().
+In this case the number of visible rows is then calculated from the visible
+height. If the number of visible rows is neither specified by SetLineCount()
+nor by SetItemHeight() all rows will be shown. The height of the items will
+be calculated by the visible height. If the number of visible rows is
+specified by SetLineCount() or SetItemHeight() ValueSet does scroll
+automatically when more lines are available, as are visible. If scrolling
+should be also possible with a ScrollBar  WB_VSCROLL needs to be set.
+
+The distance between the items can be increased by SetExtraSpacing(). The
+distance, which will be shown between two items (both in x and in y), is
+measured in pixels.
+
+The exact window size for a specific item size can be calculated by
+CalcWindowSizePixel(). To do this all relevant data (number of columns/...)
+have to be specified and if no number of rows was set, all items need to
+be inserted. If the window was created with WB_BORDER/Border=sal_True the
+size has to be specified with SetOutputSizePixel(). In other cases different
+size-methods can be used. With CalcItemSize() the inner and outer size of
+an item could be calculated (for this the free space defined by
+SetExtraSpacing() will not be included).
+
+The background color could be specified by SetColor(), with which the image
+or UserDraw items will be underlaid. If no color is specified the color
+of other windows (WindowColor) will be used for the background.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+At first all items should be inserted and only then Show() should be called
+since the output area will be precomputed. If this is not done the first
+Paint will appear a little bit slower. Therefore the Control, if it is loaded
+from the resource and only supplied with items during runtime, should be
+loaded with Hide = sal_True and then displayed with Show().
+
+In case of a visible Control the creation of the new output area could be
+activated before Paint by calling Format().
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If Drag and Drop will be called from the ValueSet the Command-Handler has to
+be overridden. From this StartDrag needs to be called. If this method returns
+sal_True the drag-process could be initiated by  ExecuteDrag(), otherwise no
+processing will take place. This method makes sure that ValueSet stops its
+processing and as appropriate selects the entry. Therefore the calling of
+Select-Handler within this function must be expected.
+
+For dropping QueryDrop() and Drop() need to be overridden and ShowDropPos()
+and HideDropPos() should be called within these methods.
+To show the insertion point ShowDropPos() has to be called within the
+QueryDrop-Handler. ShowDropPos() also scrolls the ValueSet if the passed
+position is located at the window border. Furthermore ShowDropPos() returns
+the position, at which the item should be inserted respectively which
+insertion point was shown. If no insertion point was determined
+VALUESET_ITEM_NOTFOUND will be returned. If the window was left during dragging
+or the drag process is terminated HideDropPos() should be called in any case.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This class is currently still in the SV-Tools. That's why the ValueSet needs
+to be loaded as a Control out of the resource and the desired WinBits have
+to be set (before Show) with SetStyle().

+/** Helper class for objects containing EditEngine/Outliner text
+
+    This class provides the methods from the XAccessibleContext,
+    XAccessibleEventBroadcaster and XAccessibleComponent
+    interfaces, that are common to all accessible objects
+    containing an edit engine.
+
+    The text contained in the EditEngine/Outliner is presented as
+    children of this class, namely for every text paragraph a
+    AccessibleEditableTextPara child object is generated. As this
+    class manages these children for itself, it has to send out
+    AccessibleEventId::CHILD events on your
+    behalf. Thus, you must forward every call to your
+    addEventListener()/removeEventListener() methods to the
+    AccessibleTextHelper (methods
+    AddEventListener/RemoveEventListener), otherwise none or not
+    everyone of your event listener will notice child changes.
+
+    You have to implement the SvxEditSource, SvxTextForwarder,
+    SvxViewForwarder and SvxEditViewForwarder interfaces in order
+    to enable your object to cooperate with this
+    class. SvxTextForwarder encapsulates the fact that text
+    objects do not necessarily have an EditEngine at their
+    disposal, SvxViewForwarder and SvxEditViewForwarder do the
+    same for the document and the edit view. The three mentioned
+    forwarder objects are not stored by the AccessibleTextHelper,
+    but fetched every time from the SvxEditSource. So you are best
+    off making your SvxEditSource::Get*Forwarder methods cache the
+    current forwarder.
+
+    To support changes in edit mode or conversion of fixed text
+    into EditEngine text, you can change the SvxEditSource this
+    class is referring to. This might render all children invalid
+    and change the child count, since the AccessibleTextHelper
+    reinitializes itself from scratch.
+
+    This class registers itself at the SvxEditSource as a state
+    listener and manages the state of its children (i.e. the
+    paragraphs). See the method documentation of
+    AccessibleTextHelper::SetEditSource for the expected
+    events. Generally, be prepared that when sending any of these
+    events via SvxEditSource::GetBroadcaster() broadcaster, the
+    AccessibleTextHelper will call the SvxEditSource and their
+    forwarder to update it's state. Avoid being inconsistent in
+    the facts you tell in the events, e.g. when sending a
+    SfxHintId::TextParaInserted event, the
+    SvxEditSource::GetTextForwarder().GetParagraphCount() should
+    already include the newly inserted paragraph.
+
+    @attention All public methods must not be called with any
+    mutex hold, except when calling from the main thread (with
+    holds the solar mutex), unless stated otherwise. This is
+    because they themselves might need the solar mutex in addition
+    to the object mutex, and the ordering of the locking must be:
+    first solar mutex, then object mutex. Furthermore, state
+    change events might be fired internally.
+
+    @derive Use this class in an aggregation and forward, or
+    derive from it and overwrite.

+    It is passes to the constructor and can be re-set with a call to
+    <member>SetShapeList</member>.  Accessibility objects which represent
+    these shapes are constructed usually on demand.  The second source is a
+    set of single AccessibleShape objects added by calls to

+    accessible through the <member>GetChildrenCount</member> and

+   changed content would be projected to the same 2D bounds as
+   before. To reflect the fact that the 2D positions may 'change' for
+   the user's imagination, it is necessary to calculate a new 2D
+   object transformation of the scene (the SnapRect) using the old 3D
+   transformation stack and the possibly modified 3D content and to
+   use it. This is only desirable if changes to the scene's content

+    In the following, "frame style" is a complete style of one frame border,
+    i.e. the double line at the left side of the frame. A "line" is always a
+    trivial single line, i.e. the first line of a double frame style.
+
+    The following states of the members of this struct are valid:
+
+    mnPrim      mnDist      mnSecn      frame style
+    -------------------------------------------------
+    0           0           0           invisible

+    >0          >0          >0          double
+
+    The behaviour of the member functions for other states is not defined.
+
+    Per definition the primary line in double frame styles is:
+    -   The top line for horizontal frame borders.
+    -   The left line for vertical frame borders.
+    -   The bottom-left line for top-left to bottom-right diagonal frame borders.
+    -   The top-left line for bottom-left to top-right diagonal frame borders.

+
+    This class is able to store the frame styles of an array of cells and to
+    draw the entire array or parts of it to any output device.
+
+    Every cell contains the style of the left, right, top, bottom, top-left to
+    bottom-right, and bottom-left to top-right frame border.
+
+    On drawing, the thicker frame border of neighbored cells is selected
+    automatically. All borders are drawn "connected", that means, the correct
+    start and end coordinates of all lines of the borders are calculated,
+    especially, if they are drawn together with diagonal frame borders.
+
+    This array fully supports merged cell ranges. In a merged range, the frame
+    borders of the top-left cell is extended to the entire range, and all other
+    cells in that range are overlapped. Again, all connected frame borders,
+    also diagonals and frame borders from adjacent merged ranges, are handled
+    automatically.
+
+    Additionally, a clipping range can be set. If such a range is used, all
+    frame borders outside this range are completely ignored, and are not used
+    in the connected border calculation anymore.
+
+    The array can be mirrored in both directions. It is possible to specify,
+    whether to mirror the double frame styles, and whether to swap diagonal
+    frame borders.

+ //      connection Line to the docked objects is in logical units.
+ //      This distance is overridden within the object, as soon as the
+ //      user drags on the lines. When docking onto a new object,
+ //      however, this default is used again.
+ //
+ //
+ // General Information About Connectors:
+ //
+ // There are nodes and edge objects. Two nodes can be joined by an
+ // edge. If a connector is connected to a node only at one end, the
+ // other end is fixed to an absolute position in the document. It is
+ // of course also possible for a connector to be "free" at both ends,
+ // i.e. not connected to a node object on each side.
+ //
+ // A connector object can also theoretically be a node object at the
+ // same time. In the first version, however, this will not yet be
+ // realized.
+ //
+ // A connection between node and connector edge can be established by:
+ // - Interactive creation of a new edge object at the SdrView where
+ //   the beginning or end point of the edge is placed on a connector
+ //   (glueing point) of an already existing node object.
+ // - Interactive dragging of the beginning or end point of an
+ //   existing connector edge object on the SdrView to a connector
+ //   (glueing point) of an already existing node object.
+ // - Undo/Redo
+ //   Moving node objects does not make any connections. Also not the
+ //   direct shifting of edge endpoints on the SdrModel... Connections
+ //   can also be established, if the connectors are not configured to
+ //   be visible in the view.
+ //
+ // An existing connection between node and edge is retained for:
+ // - Dragging (Move/Resize/Rotate/...) of the node object
+ // - Moving a connector position in the node object
+ // - Simultaneous dragging (Move/Resize/Rotate/...) of the node and the
+ //   edge
+ //
+ // A connection between node and edge can be removed by:
+ // - Deleting one of the objects
+ // - Dragging the edge object without simultaneously dragging the node
+ // - Deleting the connector at the node object
+ // - Undo/Redo/Repeat
+ // When dragging, the request to remove the connection must be
+ // requested from outside of the model (for example, from the
+ // SdrView). SdrEdgeObj::Move() itself does not remove the
+ // connection.
+ //
+ // Each node object can have connectors, so-called gluepoints. These
+ // are the geometric points at which the connecting edge object ends
+ // when the connection is established. By default, each object has no
+ // connectors.  Nevertheless, one can dock an edge in certain view
+ // settings since then, e.g., connectors can be automatically
+ // generated at the 4 vertices of the node object when needed. Each
+ // object provides 2x4 so-called default connector positions, 4 at
+ // the vertices and 4 at the corner positions. In the normal case,
+ // these are located at the 8 handle positions; exceptions here are
+ // ellipses, parallelograms, ... .  In addition, user-specific
+ // connectors can be set for each node object.
+ //
+ // Then there is also the possibility to dock an edge on an object
+ // with the attribute "bUseBestConnector". The best-matching
+ // connector position for the routing of the connection line is then
+ // used from the offering of connectors of the object or/and of the
+ // vertices. The user assigns this attribute by docking the node in
+ // its center (see, e.g., Visio).
+ // 09-06-1996: bUseBestConnector uses vertex gluepoints only.
+ //
+ // And here is some terminology:
+ //   Connector : The connector object (edge object)
+ //   Node      : Any object to which a connector can be glued to, e.g., a rectangle,
+ //               etc.
+ //   Gluepoint: The point at which the connector is glued to the node object.
+ //               There are:
+ //                 Vertex gluepoints: Each node object presents these glue
+ //                     points inherently. Perhaps there is already the option
+ //                     "automatically glue to object vertex" in Draw (default is
+ //                     on).
+ //                 Corner gluepoints: These gluepoints, too, are already
+ //                     auto-enabled on objects. Similar to the ones above,
+ //                     there may already be an option for them in Draw (default is
+ //                     off).
+ //                 In contrast to Visio, vertex gluepoints and corner glue
+ //                     points are not displayed in the UI; they are simply there (if
+ //                     the option is activated).
+ //                 Custom gluepoints: Any number of them are present on each
+ //                     node object. They can be made visible using the option
+ //                     (always visible when editing). At the moment, however, they
+ //                     are not yet fully implemented.
+ //                 Automatic gluepoint selection: If the connector is docked
+ //                     to the node object so that the black frame encompasses the
+ //                     entire object, then the connector tries to find the most
+ //                     convenient of the 4 vertex gluepoints (and only of those).

+        The method GetUnoControl, used to retrieve the XControl whose parent is a given device, only works

+        scenarios where you need certain information on how a control is painted onto a window, without
+        actually painting it. For example, you might be interested in the DeviceInfo of a UNO control.
+
+        For those cases, you can contain an XControl which behaves as the control which *would* be used to
+        paint onto a window.
+
+        @param  _rWindow
+            the window for which should act as parent for the temporary control
+        @param  _inout_ControlContainer
+            the control container belonging to the window, necessary as context
+            for the newly created control. A control container is usually created by calling
+            VCLUnoHelper::CreateControlContainer.
+            If _inout_ControlContainer is <NULL/>, it will be created internally, and passed to the caller.
+            In this case, the caller also takes ownership of the control container, and is responsible for
+            disposing it when not needed anymore.
+        @return
+            The requested control. This control is temporary only, and the caller is responsible for it.
+            In particular, the caller is required to dispose it when it's not needed anymore.

+/**
+ * Definition:
+ *  - snap something means e.g. the mouse pointer or some marked objects in drag can be snapped
+ *  - snap on something means you can e.g. snap on the grid or on auxiliary lines
+ *
+ *
+ * Basically, we only catch visible elements (borders, helper lines, connectors),
+ * with the exception of the grid. Likewise, we can only catch visible elements (i.e. connectors).
+ * We only catch on the grid, if nothing else is close by (magnetic behaviour).
+ *
+ * The cursor which is used during creation of objects, while dragging polygon points
+ * etc. (i.e. the mouse cursor) is always caught on all enabled catch alternatives (max 6).
+ *
+ * This is different, when moving selected objects. Instead of one mouse cursor, there are
+ * four alternatives, which can be caught at the selected objects:
+ *   1. the logically enclosing frame of every single object
+ *   2. the logically enclosing frame of all selected objects
+ *   3. highlighted points of all selected objects (polygon points, ...)
+ *   4. the connectors of the selected objects
+ *
+ * As the first and second case exclude each other (the second is a refinement of the first one)
+ * three alternatives remain, which are independent from each other. For 6 possible values for the
+ * caught ones, we would end up with max. 18 different possible combinations!
+ *
+ * Therefore, we introduce the following simplifications:
+ *   1. Connectors only catch on connectors
+ *
+ * Only max. 2*5+1 = 11 combinations remain for MoveDrag:
+ *   1-3.  enclosing frame on grid/border/helper lines
+ *   4.    enclosing frame on highlighted object points
+ *   5.    enclosing frame on enclosing frame
+ *   6-8.  highlighted points on grid/border/helper lines
+ *   7.    highlighted points on highlighted object points
+ *   8-10. highlighted points on enclosing frame
+ *   11.   connectors on connectors
+ *
+ * We test for all of these possible 11 combinations in the MouseMove event in the DragMove
+ * and those with the least need of correction are carried out.
+ *
+ * In the Resize() etc. methods we only catch the logically enclosing frame of the highlighted objects.

+        Note:           Analysis of BrushItem:
+                        Brush-FillColor() is misused as switch,
+                        to distinguish whether a new style

+     * Specialized version allowing specifying arbitrary objects on the path to the target one. Not

+     *       first match with intermediate unmatched objects, and the target has the same tree but
+     *       without intermediate objects that can be used to refine the search and prevent the
+     *       unwanted tree to match.  The same issue arises with two identical trees, yet in that
+     *       case no walking scenario could solve it automatically anyway.
+     *       In such situations, a custom @c getAccessibleObjectForPredicate() call, or successive

+     *
+     * This function makes it fairly easy and safe to execute code once a dialog pops up:
+     * @code
+     * auto waiter = awaitDialog(u"Special Characters", [this](Dialog &dialog) {
+     *     // for example, something like this:

+     * CPPUNIT_ASSERT(waiter->waitEndDialog());
+     * @endcode
+     *
+     * @note The user code might actually be executed before DialogWaiter::waitEndDialog() is
+     *       called.  It is actually likely to be called at the time the call that triggers the
+     *       dialog happens.  However, as letting an exception slip in a event handler is likely to
+     *       cause problems, exceptions are forwarded to the DialogWaiter::waitEndDialog() call.
+     *       However, note that you cannot rely on something like this:
+     *       @code
+     *       int foo = 0;
+     *       auto waiter = awaitDialog(u"Some Dialog", [&foo](Dialog&) {
+     *           CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL(1, foo);
+     *       });
+     *       CPPUNIT_ASSERT(activateMenuItem(u"Some menu", u"Some Item Triggering a Dialog..."));
+     *       foo = 1; // here, the callback likely already ran as a result of the
+     *                // Scheduler::ProcessEventsToIdle() call that activateMenuItem() did.
+     *       CPPUNIT_ASSERT(waiter->waitEndDialog());
+     *       @endcode
+     *
+     * @warning You should almost certainly always leave @p bAutoClose to @c true. If it is set to
+     *          @c false, you have to take extreme care:
+     *          - The dialog will not be canceled if the user code raises an exception.
+     *          - If the dialog is run through Dialog::Execute(), control won't return to the test
+     *            body until the dialog is closed.  This means that the only ways to execute code
+     *            until then is a separate thread or via code dispatched by the main loop.
+     *            Thus, you have to make sure you DO close the dialog some way or another yourself
+     *            in order for the test code to terminate at some point.
+     *          - If the dialog doesn't use Dialog::Execute() but is rather similar to a second
+     *            separate window (e.g. non-modal), you might still have to close the dialog before
+     *            closing the test document is possible without a CloseVetoException -- which might

+/// etc. methods interpret the interval as closed. To use the half open versions,
+/// use GetOpenWidth() / GetOpenHeight().
+///
+/// If you want to work with Size, you must use the closed interval functions!
+/// And don't add GetOpenSize() / setSize; this will probably just introduce
+/// bugs, especially when used in combination with list-initialization.

+ * We have an unfortunate problem in that, on Windows (both 32 and 64-bit), long is always 32-bit.

+ * on Linux, failed on Windows.
+ * So.....,
+ * (1) introduce a typedef that replaces (almost) all previous usage
+ * (2) on 64-bit Windows, this typedef is forced to 64-bit (32-bit platforms, including 32-bit Windows, are left alone)
+ * (3) fix fallout from (2)
+ *
+ * As a consequence of the above, it would be best, over the long term, to regard usage
+ * of tools::Long in the codebase as meaning "we're not sure what the ideal size of the datatype is",
+ * and where possible, replace it with a better datatype like sal_Int32/sal_Int64/etc.
+ *

+/** Iterator to be used with a digit grouping as obtained through
+    LocaleDataWrapper::getDigitGrouping().
+
+    The iterator advances over the digit groupings, returning the number of
+    digits per group. If the last group was encountered the iterator will
+    always return the last grouping.
+
+    Grouping values are sanitized to be >= 0, even if originally signed
+    sal_Int32.
+
+    Usage example with a string buffer containing a decimal representation of
+    an integer number. Note that of course this loop could be optimized to not
+    count single characters but hunks of groups instead using the get() method,
+    this is just for illustrating usage. Anyway, for double values it is highly
+    more efficient to use ::rtl::math::doubleToString() and pass the grouping
+    sequence, instead of using this iterator and inserting characters into
+    strings.

+    A Tempfile always has a "physical" file name ( a file name in the local computers host notation ) but it has a
+    "UCB compatible" URL only if a UCP for the local file system exists. This URL may have its own URL scheme
+    ( not necessarily "file://" ! ). The TempFile class methods take this into account, but other simple conversions like

+Description
+============
+
+class HeaderBar
+
+This class serves for displaying a header bar. A header bar can display
+texts, images or both of them. The items can be changed in size, dragged or
+clicked at. In many cases, it makes, for example, sense to use this control
+in combination with a SvTabListBox.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+WinBits
+
+WB_BORDER           a border is drawn in the top and in the bottom
+WB_BOTTOMBORDER     a border is drawn in the bottom
+WB_BUTTONSTYLE      The items look like buttons, otherwise they are flat.
+WB_3DLOOK           3D look
+WB_DRAG             items can be dragged
+WB_STDHEADERBAR     WB_BUTTONSTYLE | WB_BOTTOMBORDER
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ItemBits
+
+HeaderBarItemBits::LEFT            content is displayed in the item left-justified
+HeaderBarItemBits::CENTER          content is displayed in the item centred
+HeaderBarItemBits::RIGHT           content is displayed in the item right-justified
+HeaderBarItemBits::TOP             content is displayed in the item at the upper border
+HeaderBarItemBits::VCENTER         content is displayed in the item vertically centred
+HeaderBarItemBits::BOTTOM          content is displayed in the item at the bottom border
+HeaderBarItemBits::LEFTIMAGE       in case of text and image, the image is displayed left of the text
+HeaderBarItemBits::RIGHTIMAGE      in case of text and image, the image is displayed right of the text
+HeaderBarItemBits::FIXED           item cannot be changed in size
+HeaderBarItemBits::FIXEDPOS        item cannot be moved
+HeaderBarItemBits::CLICKABLE       item is clickable
+                    (select handler is only called on MouseButtonUp)
+HeaderBarItemBits::FLAT            item is displayed in a flat way, even if WB_BUTTONSTYLE is set
+HeaderBarItemBits::DOWNARROW       An arrow pointing downwards is displayed behind the text,
+                    which should, for example, be shown, when after this item,
+                    a corresponding list is sorted in descending order.
+                    The status of the arrow can be set/reset with SetItemBits().
+HeaderBarItemBits::UPARROW         An arrow pointing upwards is displayed behind the text,
+                    which should, for example, be shown, when after this item,
+                    a corresponding list is sorted in ascending order.
+                    The status of the arrow can be set/reset with SetItemBits().
+HeaderBarItemBits::USERDRAW        For this item, the UserDraw handler is called as well.
+HeaderBarItemBits::STDSTYLE        (HeaderBarItemBits::LEFT | HeaderBarItemBits::LEFTIMAGE | HeaderBarItemBits::CLICKABLE)
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Handler
+
+Select()            Is called, when the item is clicked. If HeaderBarItemBits::CLICKABLE
+                    is set in the item and not HeaderBarItemBits::FLAT, the handler is only
+                    called in the MouseButtonUp handler, when the mouse has been
+                    released over the item. In this case, the Select handler
+                    behaves like it does with a ToolBox button.
+DoubleClick()       This handler is called, when an item is double-clicked.
+                    Whether the item or the separator has been clicked, can
+                    be determined by IsItemMode(). Normally, when a separator
+                    is double-clicked, the optimal column width should be
+                    calculated and should be set.
+StartDrag()         This handler is called, when dragging is started resp.
+                    an item has been clicked. At the latest in this handler,
+                    the size of the size-line should be set with
+                    SetDragSize(), if IsItemMode() returns false.
+Drag()              This handler is called, when dragging is taking place.
+                    If no size is set with SetDragSize(), this handler can
+                    be used to draw the line in the neighbouring window by
+                    oneself. The current dragging position can be requested
+                    with GetDragPos(). In every case, IsItemMode()
+                    should be checked to find out whether a separator is
+                    dragged as well.
+EndDrag()           This handler is called, when a dragging process has been
+                    stopped. If GetCurItemId() returns 0 in the EndDrag handler,
+                    the drag process was aborted. If this is not the case and
+                    IsItemMode() returns false, the new size of the dragged
+                    item should be requested using GetItemSize() and it
+                    should be taken over in the corresponding control.
+                    If IsItemMode() returns true, GetCurItemId()
+                    returns an Id and IsItemDrag() returns true, this
+                    item has been dragged. In this case, the new position
+                    should be requested using  GetItemPos() and the data
+                    in the corresponding control should be adapted.
+                    Otherwise, the position to which the item has been dragged
+                    could also be requested with GetItemDragPos().
+
+Further methods that are important for the handler.
+
+GetCurItemId()      Returns the id of the item, for which the handler has
+                    currently been called. Only returns a valid id in the
+                    handlers Select(), DoubleClick(), StartDrag(),
+                    Drag() and EndDrag(). In the EndDrag handler,
+                    this method returns the id of the dragged item or 0,
+                    if the drag process has been aborted.
+GetItemDragPos()    Returns the position, at which an item has been moved.
+                    HEADERBAR_ITEM_NOTFOUND is returned, if the process
+                    has been aborted or no ItemDrag is active.
+IsItemMode()        This method can be used to determine whether the
+                    handler has been called for an item or a separator.
+                    true    - handler was called for the item
+                    false   - handler was called for the separator
+IsItemDrag()        This method can be used to determine whether an item
+                    has been dragged or selected.
+                    true    - item is dragged
+                    false   - item is selected
+SetDragSize()       This method is used to set the size of the separating
+                    line that is drawn by the control. It should be
+                    equivalent to the height of the neighbouring window.
+                    The height of the HeaderBar is added automatically.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Further methods
+
+SetOffset()             This method sets the offset, from which on the
+                        items are shown. This is needed when the
+                        corresponding window is scrolled.
+CalcWindowSizePixel()   This method can be used to calculate the height
+                        of the window, so that the content of the item
+                        can be displayed.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Tips and tricks:
+
+1) ContextMenu
+If a context sensitive PopupMenu should be shown, the command
+handler must be overlaid. Using GetItemId() and when passing the
+mouse position, it can be determined whether the mouse click has been
+carried out over an item resp. over which item the mouse click has been
+carried out.
+
+2) last item
+If ButtonStyle has been set, it looks better, if an empty item is
+set at the end which takes up the remaining space.
+In order to do that, you can insert an item with an empty string and
+pass HEADERBAR_FULLSIZE as size. For such an item, you should not set
+HeaderBarItemBits::CLICKABLE, but HeaderBarItemBits::FIXEDPOS.

+    You may not access vcl objects after DeInitVCL has been called this includes their destruction
+    therefore disallowing the existence of static vcl object like e.g. a static BitmapEx
+    To work around this use DeleteOnDeinit<BitmapEx> which will allow you to have a static object container,
+    that will have its contents destroyed on DeinitVCL. The single drawback is that you need to check on the
+    container object whether it still contains content before actually accessing it.
+
+    caveat: when constructing a vcl object, you certainly want to ensure that InitVCL has run already.
+    However this is not necessarily the case when using a class static member or a file level static variable.
+    In these cases make judicious use of the set() method of DeleteOnDeinit, but beware of the changing
+    ownership.
+
+    example use case: use a lazy initialized on call BitmapEx in a paint method. Of course a paint method
+    would not normally be called after DeInitVCL anyway, so the check might not be necessary in a
+    Window::Paint implementation, but always checking is a good idea.

+    using marked content tags. Each structural element can contain sub elements
+    (e.g. a section can contain a heading and a paragraph). The structure hierarchy
+    is build automatically from the Begin/EndStructureElement calls.
+
+    The easy way is to call WrapBeginStructureElement, but it's also possible
+    to call EnsureStructureElement/InitStructureElement/BeginStructureElement
+    (its 3 parts) manually for more control; this way a placeholder SE can be
+    inserted and initialised later.
+
+    A structural element need not be contained on one page; e.g. paragraphs often
+    run from one page to the next. In this case the corresponding EndStructureElement
+    must be called while drawing the next page.
+
+    BeginStructureElement and EndStructureElement must be called only after
+    PDFWriter::NewPage has been called and before
+    PDFWriter::Emit gets called. The current page
+    number is an implicit context parameter for Begin/EndStructureElement.

+    For pagination artifacts that are not part of the logical structure
+    of the document (like header, footer or page number) the special
+    StructElement NonStructElement exists. To place content
+    outside of the structure tree simply call

+    /** begin a new logical structure element
+
+    BeginStructureElement/EndStructureElement calls build the logical structure
+    of the PDF - the basis for tagged PDF. Structural elements are implemented
+    using marked content tags. Each structural element can contain sub elements
+    (e.g. a section can contain a heading and a paragraph). The structure hierarchy
+    is build automatically from the Begin/EndStructureElement calls.
+
+    The easy way is to call WrapBeginStructureElement, but it's also possible
+    to call EnsureStructureElement/InitStructureElement/BeginStructureElement
+    (its 3 parts) manually for more control; this way a placeholder SE can be
+    inserted and initialised later.
+
+    A structural element need not be contained on one page; e.g. paragraphs often
+    run from one page to the next. In this case the corresponding EndStructureElement
+    must be called while drawing the next page.
+
+    BeginStructureElement and EndStructureElement must be called only after
+    PDFWriter::NewPage has been called and before PDFWriter::Emit gets called. The
+    current page number is an implicit context parameter for Begin/EndStructureElement.
+
+    For pagination artifacts that are not part of the logical structure
+    of the document (like header, footer or page number) the special
+    StructElement NonStructElement exists. To place content
+    outside of the structure tree simply call
+    BeginStructureElement( NonStructElement ) then draw your
+    content and then call EndStructureElement(). All children
+    of a NonStructElement will not be part of the structure.
+    Nonetheless if you add a child structural element to a
+    NonStructElement you will still have to call
+    EndStructureElement for it. Best think of the structure
+    tree as a stack.
+
+    Note: there is always one structural element in existence without having
+    called BeginStructureElement; this is the root of the structure
+    tree (called StructTreeRoot). The StructTreeRoot has always the id 0.
+

+
+        In a slightly more complex wizard, you will have one linear path, were certain

+        certain aspects of the to-be-created object (e.g. by unchecking a check box),
+        and the wizard then will simply disable the step which corresponds to this step.
+
+        In a yet more advanced wizards, you will have several paths of length <code>n1</code> and
+        <code>n2</code>, which share at least the first <code>k</code> states (where <code>k</code>
+        is at least 1), and an arbitrary number of other states.

+            Now if the first path is active, and your current state is <code>1</code>, then you can

+                where it does <em>not</em> conflict.<br/>
+                With the paths in the example above, if you activate the second path (when both are

+    for objects on your thread's stack.
+    Use inout_by_ref() or inout_by_ptr() for this purpose, e.g.

+        long n = 3;

+Description
+============
+
+class CalendarField
+
+This class is a DateField with which one can select a date via a DropDownButton
+and the CalendarControl.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+WinBits
+
+See DateField
+
+The preferences for the CalendarControl can be set via SetCalendarStyle().
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+With EnableToday()/EnableNone() we can enable a TodayButton and a NoneButton.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Because we only take over the start date into the field, we should query
+with GetCalendar() in the SelectHandler and with GetSelectDateCount()/GetSelectDate()
+the selected range. We then can e.g. take over that value to another field.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+If a derived Calendar should be used, we can override the CreateCalendar()
+method in CalendarField and create an own calendar there ourselves.

+
+// For instance, I *think* the important virtual functions in the

+// Functions that just return information like GetTexWidth() and

+
+// Another important questions is which parts of an ImplLayoutArgs can
+// be changed by callers between LayoutText() and AdjustLayout()
+// calls. It probably makes sense only if one assumes that the "string
+// related inputs" part are not changed after LayoutText().
+
+// But why use the same ImplLayoutArgs structure as parameter for both

+    on an on-demand node which hasn't been expanded yet is false. Likewise the
+    rest of the iterator methods skip over or otherwise ignore that node.
+
+    Normal usage is the user clicks on the expander, the expansion mechanism
+    removes the 'placeholder' entry (set_children_on_demand(false)) and calls
+    any installed expanding-callback (installable via connect_expanding) which
+    has the opportunity to populate the node with children.
+

+<http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=115203>: "Issue 113189
+extracted xmlreader from configmgr, to make the former available within URE.
+The xmlreader library is for now considered a private part of URE (cf.
+ure/source/README), for simplicity uses OOO_DLLPUBLIC_XMLREADER-based symbol
+visibility (and thus no symbol versioning), but is of course used from outside
+URE in configmgr.  This works as long as its ABI does not change.  If it ever
+changes, symbol versioning will have to be added (in some form or other)."
