Curses::Widgets::Menu - Menu Widgets MODULE VERSION
$Id: Menu.pm,v 1.103 2002/11/14 01:26:34 corliss Exp corliss $ SYNOPSIS
use Curses::Widgets::Menu; $menu = Curses::Widgets::Menu->new({ COLUMNS => 10, INPUTFUNC => &scankey, FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', FOCUSSWITCH => " ", X => 1, Y => 1, MENUS => { MENUORDER => [qw(File)], File => { ITEMORDER => [qw(Save Quit)], Save => &Save, Quit => &Quit, }, CURSORPOS => 'File', BORDER => 1, }); $menu->draw($mwh, 1); $menu->execute; See the Curses::Widgets pod for other methods. REQUIREMENTS
Curses Curses::Widgets Curses::Widgets::ListBox DESCRIPTION
Curses::Widgets::Menu provides simplified OO access to menus. Each item in a menu can be tied to a subroutine reference which is called when selected. METHODS
new (inherited from Curses::Widgets) $menu = Curses::Widgets::Menu->new({ INPUTFUNC => &scankey, FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', FOCUSSWITCH => " ", MENUS => { MENUORDER => [qw(File)], File => { ITEMORDER => [qw(Save Quit)], Save => &Save, Quit => &Quit, }, CURSORPOS => 'File', BORDER => 1, }); The new method instantiates a new Menu object. The only mandatory key/value pairs in the configuration hash are X and Y. All others have the following defaults: Key Default Description ============================================================ INPUTFUNC &scankey Function to use to scan for keystrokes FOREGROUND undef Default foreground colour BACKGROUND 'black' Default background colour FOCUSSWITCH " " Characters which signify end of input MENUS {} Menu structure CURSORPOS '' Current position of the cursor BORDER 0 Avoid window borders The MENUS option is a hash of hashes, with each hash a separate menu, and the constituent hashes being a Entry/Function pairs. Each hash requires a special key/value pair that determines the order of the items when displayed. Each item is separated by two spaces. draw $menu->draw($mwh, 1); The draw method renders the menu in its current state. This requires a valid handle to a curses window in which it will render itself. The optional second argument, if true, will cause the selection cursor to be rendered as well. popup $menu->popup; This method causes the menu to be displayed. Since, theoretically, the menu should never be seen unless it's being actively used, we will always assume that we need to draw a cursor on the list as well. execute $menu->execute; This method acts like the standard Curses::Widgets method of the same name, with the exception being that selection of any menu item will also cause it to exit (having already called the associated item subroutine).

Curses::Widgets::Calendar - Calendar Widgets MODULE VERSION
$Id: Calendar.pm,v 1.103 2002/11/03 23:33:05 corliss Exp corliss $ SYNOPSIS
use Curses::Widgets::Calendar; $cal = Curses::Widgets::Calendar->({ CAPTION => 'Appointments', CAPTIONCOL => 'yellow', INPUTFUNC => &scankey, FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', BORDER => 1, BORDERCOL => 'red', FOCUSSWITCH => " ", X => 1, Y => 1, HIGHLIGHT => [12, 17, 25], HIGHLIGHTCOL=> 'green', MONTH => '11/2001', ONYEAR => &yearly, ONMONTH => &monthly, ONDAY => &daily, }); $cal->draw($mwh, 1); See the Curses::Widgets pod for other methods. REQUIREMENTS
Curses Curses::Widgets DESCRIPTION
Curses::Widgets::Calendar provides simplified OO access to Curses-based calendars. Each object maintains it's own state information. METHODS
new (inherited from Curses::Widgets) $cal = Curses::Widgets::Calendar->({ CAPTION => 'Appointments', CAPTIONCOL => 'yellow', INPUTFUNC => &scankey, FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', BORDER => 1, BORDERCOL => 'red', FOCUSSWITCH => " ", X => 1, Y => 1, HIGHLIGHT => [12, 17, 25], HIGHLIGHTCOL=> 'green', MONTH => '11/2001', ONYEAR => &yearly, ONMONTH => &monthly, ONDAY => &daily, }); The new method instantiates a new Calendar object. The only mandatory key/value pairs in the configuration hash are X and Y. All others have the following defaults: Key Default Description ============================================================ CAPTION undef Caption superimposed on border CAPTIONCOL undef Foreground colour for caption text INPUTFUNC &scankey Function to use to scan for keystrokes FOREGROUND undef Default foreground colour BACKGROUND undef Default background colour BORDER 1 Display a border around the field BORDERCOL undef Foreground colour for border FOCUSSWITCH " " Characters which signify end of input HIGHLIGHT [] Days to highlight HIGHLIGHTCOL undef Default highlighted data colour HEADERCOL undef Default calendar header colour MONTH (current) Month to display VALUE 1 Day of the month where the cursor is ONYEAR undef Callback function triggered by year ONMONTH undef Callback function triggered by month ONDAY undef Callback function triggered by day Each of the ON* callback functions expect a subroutine reference that excepts one argument: a handle to the calendar object itself. If more than one trigger is called, it will be called in the order of day, month, and then year. draw $cal->draw($mwh, 1); The draw method renders the calendar in its current state. This requires a valid handle to a curses window in which it will render itself. The optional second argument, if true, will cause the calendar's selected day to be rendered in standout mode (inverse video). HISTORY
