How do I embed OpenOffice Calc into my own application?

Question

I would like to provide spreadsheet capability in my Cocoa application. From what I've heard, OpenOffice does allow some level of embedding, but I'll be darned if I can find that information in their official SDK documentation. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

There are some alternatives just none for Objective-C that I know of.

1. Java - you can use the OOoBean to embed any type of OO document - it works.
2. C++ / win32 - see this example on codeproject for a windows embedding (WTL)
3. Finally you can study the source code of OpenOffice for Mac itself
