Hi,

the CalPane has been open sourced some 2 years ago and since I could not reach the author, plus the CVS would not even compile, I convinced the UICompiler project to adopt the sourcetree and I have been doing cleanup on it in there.

The project certainly has potential, but the sources need a lot of work IMOHO, before I would risk major refactoring on it.

What you seem to want is to get access to the DOM nodes, or even the top-level-components (like a textfield in the html page), is that correct? That should not be to hard to add..

My first priority is to allow GUIs to use HTML markup for things like a about screen, or an opening screen etc. So if you want this kind of hackability I invite you to grab the CVS version ( http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=59493 ) and sent some patches to us!

Cheers!
