Scripting OpenOffice Forms with VB or python

Question

Hi

I'm trying to script my OpenOffice document (Writer in my case) to do some simple things with widgets. Namely I'd like to copy text from widget to widget. For this I want to get one component and than get text from it.

I've been trying to do sth like this:

document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame

oDocument      =  ThisComponent
oTextBoxFrom = document.getByName("Text Box 1")    # 1
oTextBoxFrom = oDocument.getByName("Text Box 1")   # 2

Neither version #1 nor #2 work. VB compiler spits out that "Text Box 1" is not accessible, however I have that component in my form. My guess is that I'm trying to get this component from a wrong place, eg. not it's frame. I just can't figure out what is the structure of the document.

This seems like a pretty easy task, however I'm unable to find any OpenOffice specification as for accessing OO UNO objects from VB, or python.
