We do this sort of thing all the time, though you might just want to do it
all in Java and avoid ACL altogether.
That said, the XUI dialog is just XML, so you can use the standard DOM
objects to manipulate it.
Here's an example of one of ours:
this.listBox = this.xuiDoc.createElement("listbox");
this.listBox.setAttribute("fontsize","8");
this.listBox.setAttribute("height","150px");
((EventTarget)this.listBox).addEventListener("DOMActivate",this,false);
this.containerBox.appendChild(this.listBox);
this.insertButton = this.xuiDoc.createElement("button");
this.insertButton.setAttribute("label","Insert at Cursor");
((EventTarget)this.insertButton).addEventListener("DOMActivate",this,false);
buttonBox.appendChild(this.insertButton);
Then, all you need to do is handle the events:
public void handleEvent(Event e) {
if (e.getTarget() instanceof Element)
{
Element targetElement = (Element)e.getTarget();
if (targetElement.equals(this.listBox)) {
String selectedText = this.listBox.getAttribute("value");
Let me know if you would like a more specific example, or more information
about creating the entire XUI on the fly without using an XML file on the
filesystem.
