NAME

Views - Core view classes for the TVision framework

SYNOPSIS

use TUI::Objects;
use TUI::Views;

# Typical in a TProgram/TApplication method:
my $w = TWindow->new(
  bounds => TRect->new( ax => 5, ay => 2, bx => 60, by => 18 ),
  title  => 'Log',
  number => 1,
);

my $vbar = TScrollBar->new(
  bounds => TRect->new( ax => 53, ay => 1, bx => 54, by => 14 ),
);
$w->insert($vbar);

# Add the window to the current desktop/group owner.
$deskTop->insert($w);

DESCRIPTION

TUI::Views provides the core view and windowing subsystem for the TVision framework. It corresponds to the Turbo Vision view architecture and includes all fundamental UI components such as views, groups, frames, windows, palettes, and drawing buffers.

This module re-exports a wide range of view-related classes, including:

  • Const - Symbolic constants for view behavior.

  • TCommandSet - Command and hotkey definitions.

  • TDrawBuffer - Low-level drawing buffer for character cell output.

  • TPalette - Color palette definitions.

  • TView - Base class for all visual components.

  • TGroup - Container for child views.

  • TFrame - Window frame and border rendering.

  • TListViewer - Scrollable list view.

  • TScrollBar - Vertical and horizontal scroll bars.

  • TWindowInit / TWindow - Window initialization and window objects.

  • Util - Utility functions such as message.
