Hi,
some 3 years ago, there were preliminary experiments with using XUL in
OpenOffice.org, and XUL was supposed to replace VCL, eventually. What is
the status of these plans?
The plan was to embed XUL into a VCL window (thereby having teh

could probably have more "native-looking" UI elements...
The status of those plans is basically "on hold indefinitely". Currently
nobody has the time it seems. As far as I remember there were however
plans to make the basic dialog editor available as editing tool for XML
files (specifically aimed at extensions if I remember correctly) that
would then be executable by OOo's UNO toolkit. I don't know how far that
is, but probably someone on the list knows ?
Kidn regards, pl
