HIERARCHY

TObject

    TFileInfoPane

SYNOPSIS

use TUI::StdDlg;

my $info = new_TFileInfoPane(
  $bounds
);

DESCRIPTION

TFileInfoPane implements a view used by standard Turbo Vision file dialogs to display information about the currently focused file or directory.

The pane renders metadata such as name, size, date, and attributes of the active entry and updates its display automatically when the file selection changes. It is typically embedded alongside a file list within a TFileDialog.

The view is display-only and does not allow direct user interaction.

VARIABLES

The following global variables define the textual and date-related rendering used by TFileInfoPane.

$pmText

Text used to indicate post meridiem (PM) time.

$amText

Text used to indicate ante meridiem (AM) time.

$months

Array reference containing abbreviated month names. The first element is unused to allow 1-based month indexing.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

my $pane = TFileInfoPane->new(
  bounds => $bounds
);

Creates a new file information pane.

bounds

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

new_TFileInfoPane

my $pane = new_TFileInfoPane($bounds);

Factory-style constructor using positional arguments.

METHODS

draw

$pane->draw();

Renders the file information pane.

This method draws the textual representation of the currently focused file using an internal draw buffer.

getPalette

my $palette = $pane->getPalette();

Returns the palette used for rendering the file information pane.

handleEvent

$pane->handleEvent($event);

Processes events relevant to updating the displayed file information.

The pane reacts to selection and focus changes originating from other dialog components.
