SYNOPSIS

use TUI::StdDlg;

my $input = new_TFileInputLine(
  $bounds,
  $maxLen
);

DESCRIPTION

TFileInputLine implements a specialized input line used by standard Turbo Vision file dialogs for entering file and directory names.

The control extends TInputLine with file-dialog-specific behavior, such as custom keyboard handling and interaction with other dialog components. It is typically embedded in a TFileDialog and participates in focus navigation and command processing within the dialog.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

my $input = TFileInputLine->new(
  bounds => $bounds,
  maxLen => $maxLen
);

Creates a new file input line.

bounds

Bounding rectangle defining the position and size of the input line (TRect).

maxLen

Maximum length of the input text (Int).

new_TFileInputLine

my $input = new_TFileInputLine($bounds, $maxLen);

Factory-style constructor using positional arguments.

METHODS

handleEvent

$input->handleEvent($event);

Processes keyboard and command events specific to file dialog interaction.

This method extends the default input line behavior to integrate with file selection and dialog-level commands.
