How can I edit text with noa-libre?

[luizfpvieira]

I'm doing some tests with noa-libre. I tested the Hello World in SWING. The frame open with the Writer, but I can not edit the text. Neither the text cursor appears in the writer.
How can I edit text with noa-libre?
Thanks

Does it work when you use the mouse, i.e. rightclick/paste? Are you using Linux? I suspect https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuaccounting/bugs/144/, i.e. https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=97007

Thanks for answering. I'm actually using Linux (Ubuntu 16.04). It's a shame, I really wanted this to work properly.

Curious what's the exact working state of this under Linux now - do direct clicks work still? Under Windows, was able to workaround this by explicit setFocus-Calls to the LibreOffice-HWND.
Does the Xembed-Config-Option from the OOo-Wiki change anything?

On most Linux it still fails (I think it works on some window managers like fvwm but AFAIK it fails on recent Gnome and KDE) and the Xembed-Option does not help, could you detail on your windows workaround so that someone could try it on linux?

Sure - it's a simple

// activate Office embedding
long hwndChild = OS.GetWindow(container.handle,
                             OS.GW_CHILD);
OS.SetFocus(hwndChild);

For the swt embedding - and you need to set the focus everytime your app gets the focus of course.

Hi,
I tried that, unfortunately it didn't work :-(
