[Scilab-users] How to keep figure active with x_mdialog window open?

[Izabela Wójcik-Grząba]

I am trying to substitute my x_mdialog() by 3 listboxes put in a graphic 
window. My code is a slightly remodelled version of a Demo "Listboxes 
and popupmenus":

f = figure("dockable", "off" ,"infobar_visible", "off", 
"toolbar_visible", "off", "menubar_visible", "off", "default_axes", 
"off", "visible", "off", "layout", "gridbag");
set(f, "figure_id", 1);
set(f, "figure_name", "Listboxes and Popupmenus");
set(f, "axes_size", [850 120]);
kier_x = [
"W 1 x", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 2 x", "#FFFFFF", "#000000";
"W 3 x", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 4 x", "#FFFFFF", "#000000";
"W 5 x", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 6 x", "#FFFFFF", "#000000"];
c = createConstraints("gridbag", [1, 1, 1, 1], [1 1], "both");
list1=uicontrol(f, "style", "listbox", "constraints", c, "margins", [5 5 
5 5],..
"max",20,"min",0, "string", kier_x);
kier_y = [
"W 1 y", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 2 y", "#FFFFFF", "#000000";
"W 3 y", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 4 y", "#FFFFFF", "#000000";
"W 5 y", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 6 y", "#FFFFFF", "#000000"];
c = createConstraints("gridbag", [2, 1, 1, 1], [1 1], "both");
list2=uicontrol(f, "style", "listbox", "constraints", c, "margins", [5 5 
5 5],..
"max",20,"min",0, "string", kier_y);
kier_z = [
"W 1 z", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 2 z", "#FFFFFF", "#000000";
"W 3 z", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 4 z", "#FFFFFF", "#000000";
"W 5 z", "#000000", "#FFFFFF";
"W 6 z", "#FFFFFF", "#000000"];
c = createConstraints("gridbag", [3, 1, 1, 1], [1 1], "both");
list3=uicontrol(f, "style", "listbox", "constraints", c, "margins", [5 5 
5 5],..
"max",20,"min",0, "string", kier_z);
set(f, "visible", "on");

I have two questions:
1. How to make the lists to be multiselect (now it seems that this 
option doesn't work despite the max and min values)?
2. How to write the selected values into the vectors and then close the 
window?

I know that these are simple questions but I am rather a beginner in 
Scilab and I get more and more confused with every new problem.

Regards,
Iza
