Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 84052
"Help" property of css.text.TextField.Input is undocumented
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:09:56 UTC
It seems that input fields (css.text.TextField.Input) have a property called "Help", but this is not documented in the IDL docs.
jsc -> tl : seems to be one for you
.
According to the developer who added this property it is used for import/export only, should not be used by the user at all, and thus was purposefully not documented. Thus setting to 'won't fix'. If no one objects to this I will close this issue some days later.
I see no reason why the fact that this property is only used for import/export and should not be used by the user should not be documented. If it is user-visible it needs to be documented. Besides, if it serves a useful function in certain import/export operations it is likely that there are legitimate cases when someone wants to modify this, even if the developer who introduced the feature cannot think of them right now. So I'm reopening this issue. Undocumented features are a plague.
Fixed in CWS tl50. Files changed: - offapi/com/sun/star/text/textfield/Input.idl
TL->CN: Please verify. Thanks!
