Method Summary

void	makeVisible(UiObject target) This piece of functionality is necessary for interfaces with shortcuts -- it forces the container widget to make a particular child visible; this base implementation assumes that widgets are rendered side by side so it only makes sure that the target is a legal child.
void	setChildren(java.util.Hashtable h) Called by the WidgetBag when the solution is finalized
