# Opening a Dialog with Python

LibreOffice static dialogs are created with the Dialog editor and are stored in varying places according to their personal (My Macros), shared (Application Macros) or document-embedded nature. In reverse, dynamic dialogs are constructed at runtime, from Basic or Python scripts, or using any other LibreOffice supported language for that matter. Opening static dialogs with Python is illustrated herewith. Exception handling and internationalization are omitted for clarity.

## My Macros or Application Macros dialogs

The examples below open Access2Base Trace console or the imported TutorialsDialog dialog with Tools - Macros - Run Macro menu:

            # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
            from __future__ import unicode_literals

            def consoleDlg():
                ctx =XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext()
                smgr = ctx.getServiceManager()
                dp = smgr.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.awt.DialogProvider", ctx)
                dlg = dp.createDialog( "vnd.sun.star.script:Access2Base.dlgTrace?location=application")
                dlg.execute()
                dlg.dispose()

            def tutorDialog():
                ctx =XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext()
                smgr = ctx.getServiceManager()
                dp = smgr.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.awt.DialogProvider", ctx)
                dlg = dp.createDialog("vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.TutorialsDialog?location=application")
                dlg.execute()
                dlg.dispose()

            g_exportedScripts = (consoleDlg, tutorDialog)

## Document embedded dialogs

The example below opens a newly edited Dialog1 dialog from a document with Tools - Macros - Run Macro menu:

            # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
            from __future__ import unicode_literals

            def docDialog():
                """ Display a doc-based dialog """
                model = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()
                smgr = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext().ServiceManager
                dp = smgr.createInstanceWithArguments( "com.sun.star.awt.DialogProvider", (model,))
                dlg = dp.createDialog( "vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.Dialog1?location=document")
                dlg.execute()
                dlg.dispose()

            g_exportedScripts = (docDialog,)

Refer to msgbox.py in {installation}/program/ directory for Python dynamic dialog examples.
