True - FileBrowser is an example of what we would call a "composite" component. Unlike the JavaWindow example, it defines its own skin class, but the skin is actually composed of other components. Spinner is another example of this type of component.

FileBrowser is also a good example of building a new component using existing components.

    Hi Peter,

    This is definitely possible. The implementation specifics will
    depend largely on what you are trying to accomplish. Extending an
    existing class is probably the easiest way to create a custom
    component. This example shows how to create a custom subclass of
    Pivot's Window component that implements the code behind for the
    markup defined in java_window.bxml:

    
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/examples/src/org/apache/pivot/examples/scripting/JavaWindow.java
    
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/examples/src/org/apache/pivot/examples/scripting/java_window.bxml

    However, you can also subclass Component directly - in that case,
    you'll also need to provide at least one skin class for your
    custom component. Here's a simple example that implements the
    "ruler" headers in the ScrollPane tutorial:

    
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/navigation/Ruler.java
    
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/navigation/RulerListener.java
    
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/navigation/RulerSkin.java

    Hope this helps,
    Greg

    Basically I want to dynamically load and then unload this control

    be defined in code-behind file, not in application. Is it
    possible and how to code it?
