GUI problems

[Stefan Du Rietz]

I am using Scilab 4.1.2 under WinXP.

It seems as if uimenu() and uicontrol() can have as "callback" only one function call with a single input argument which is a numeric scalar. Everything else, including a single string and a numeric vector, does not work.

Is it because of the TCL/Tk interface? I have read this (but I don't want to write TCL scripts, see below):

I would be extremely grateful if anybody could explain how to make these callbacks able to use my Scilab functions (which work well from the command line and from other functions)!

Regards
Stefan
