2024-10-11, 17:20–17:40 (Europe/Luxembourg), Auditorium

Come hear about a tool that can help you to migrate Windows native apps that require Microsoft Office and use OLE integration to embed and re-use Word or Excel. See how we can use this to trace what APIs are used by a windows application, and then to transparently replace these.

Hear about the limitations and opportunities for improvement here, as well as why this is does not ship by default in LibreOffice currently.
