Yep you find the more complex part of Scilab GUI, Scilab components (within the bridge package) are not directly mapped to the Java ones but instead has an indirection (using the composition pattern) to them. For exemple : SwingScilabListBox class as an associated JList class stored in the 'list' field. If you want the rendering of an item of the list, take a look at SwingScilabListBox.java line 107 where JList default renderer is changed to a Scilab specific one. Thanks for you involvement, do not hesitate to ask questions, -- Clément _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scilab.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
