SYNOPSIS
use Curses::UI;
my $cui = new Curses::UI;
my $win = $cui->add('window_id', 'Window');
my $popupbox = $win->add(
'mypopupbox', 'Popupmenu',
-values => [1, 2, 3],
-labels => { 1 => 'One',
2 => 'Two',
3 => 'Three' },
);
$popupbox->focus();
my $value = $popupbox->get();
DESCRIPTIONCurses::UI::Popupmenu is a widget that can be used to create something
very similar to a basic Curses::UI::Listbox. The difference is that
the widget will show only the currently selected value (or "-------" if
no value is yet selected). The list of possible values will be shown as
a separate popup window if requested.
Normally the widget will look something like this:
[Current value ]
If the popup window is opened, it looks something like this:
[Current value ]
+--------------+
|Other value |
|Current value |
|Third value |
+--------------+
STANDARD OPTIONS-parent, -x, -y, -width, -height, -pad, -padleft, -padright, -padtop,
-padbottom, -ipad, -ipadleft, -ipadright, -ipadtop, -ipadbottom,
-title, -titlefullwidth, -titlereverse, -onfocus, -onblur
For an explanation of these standard options, see Curses::UI::Widget.
WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
· -values < LIST >
· -labels < HASHREF >
· -selected < INDEX >
· -wraparound < BOOLEAN >
These options are exactly the same as the options for the Listbox
widget. So for an explanation of these, take a look at
Curses::UI::Listbox.
· -onchange < CODEREF >
This sets the onChange event handler for the popupmenu widget. If
a new item is selected, the code in CODEREF will be executed. It
will get the widget reference as its argument.
METHODS
· new ( OPTIONS )
· layout ( )
· draw ( BOOLEAN )
· intellidraw ( )
· focus ( )
· onFocus ( CODEREF )
· onBlur ( CODEREF )
These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Widget for an
explanation of these.
· get ( )
This method will return the currently selected value.
· onChange ( CODEREF )
This method can be used to set the -onchange event handler (see
above) after initialization of the popupmenu.
DEFAULT BINDINGS
There are bindings for the widget itself and bindings for the popup
listbox that can be opened by this widget.
The widget itself
· <tab>
Call the 'loose-focus' routine. This will have the widget loose its
focus.
· <enter>, <cursor-right, <l>, <space>
Call the 'open-popup' routine. This will show the popup listbox and
bring the focus to this listbox. See The popup listbox below for a
description of the bindings for this listbox.
· <cursor-down>, <j>
Call the 'select-next' routine. This will select the item in the
list that is after the currently selected item (unless the last
item is already selected). If no item is selected, the first item
in the list will get selected.
· <cursor-up>, <k>
Call the 'select-prev' routine. This will select the item in the
list that is before the currently selected item (unless the first
item is already selected). If no item is selected, the first item
in the list will get selected.
The popup listbox
The bindings for the popup listbox are the same as the bindings for the
Listbox widget. So take a look at Curses::UI::Listbox for a description
of these. The difference is that the 'loose-focus' and 'option-select'
routine will have the popup listbox to close. If the routine
'option-select' is called, the active item will get selected.
