[Scilab-Dev] GSOC query for Scilab UI elements

[Sylvestre Ledru]

I agree with your analyze. When I talked about uicontrol, it was not to
use uicontrol features to produce the new UI elements like the
spreadsheet. 
The proposal suggests to extend the current system to propose these new
features in the Scilab language.

It should follow the current implementation. AFAIK, the Scilab engine
(C / C++) is calling the Java swing API to produce the various GUI
component. This is done through GIWS [1] which manages the wrapping on
the Java object.
The wrapper are described here:
modules/gui/src/jni/*.xml (and will generate the .hxx & .cpp)
For example, the wrapper CallScilabBridge.giws.xml is used in various
places in modules/gui/src/cpp/

Hope this helps,
Sylvestre
