DESCRIPTION

TUI::App represents the application-level framework of TUI::Vision. It corresponds to the Turbo Vision TProgram and TApplication layer and provides the structural foundation for building complete TUI programs.

This module re-exports multiple application components, including:

  • Const - Symbolic constants for application behavior.

  • TBackground - Default background view and screen initialization.

  • TDeskInit / TDeskTop - Desktop initialization and window management.

  • TProgInit - Program startup sequence.

  • TProgram - Main program loop and event dispatching.

  • TApplication - High-level application object.

AUTHORS

  • Borland International (original Turbo Vision design)

  • J. Schneider <brickpool@cpan.org> (Perl implementation and maintenance)
