NAME

TUI::Drivers::HWMouse - internal low-level hardware mouse backend

SYNOPSIS

use TUI::Drivers::HWMouse;

# Internal backend usage only:
THWMouse->resume();
THWMouse->suspend();

DESCRIPTION

THWMouse implements low-level mouse handling for the Turbo Vision driver layer.

This module is an internal backend API. External code should use TUI::Drivers::Mouse (TMouse) as the public mouse interface.

The module maintains global mouse state and backend hooks used by the driver stack.

THWMouse is not an object-oriented class. It must not be instantiated. All interaction is performed through class method calls.

Mouse handling is initialized automatically when the module is loaded and is suspended automatically when the program terminates.

The behavior and internals here are backend-focused and may change as the driver implementation evolves. Public callers should depend on TUI::Drivers::Mouse instead.

VARIABLES

$buttonCount

Contains the number of mouse buttons detected on the system.

$handlerInstalled

Indicates whether the mouse event handler is currently installed.

$noMouse

Indicates whether mouse hardware is available.

METHODS

The backend exposes class methods with the same operational surface used by TMouse (for example show(), hide(), getEvent(), present(), resume(), and suspend()).

Their public-facing semantics are documented in TUI::Drivers::Mouse.
