This widget essentially acts as text field widget, but upon a KEY_DOWN or "\n", a drop-down list is displayed, and the item selected is put in the text field as the value. =cut ##################################################################### # # Environment definitions # ##################################################################### package Curses::Widgets::ComboBox; use strict; use vars qw($VERSION @ISA); use Carp; use Curses; use Curses::Widgets; use Curses::Widgets::TextField; use Curses::Widgets::ListBox; ($VERSION) = (q$Revision: 1.103 $ =~ /(\d+(?:\.(\d+))+)/); @ISA = qw(Curses::Widgets::TextField Curses::Widgets); ##################################################################### # # Module code follows # ##################################################################### =head1 METHODS =head2 new (inherited from Curses::Widgets) $cb = Curses::Widgets::ComboBox->new({ CAPTION => 'Select', CAPTIONCOL => 'yellow', COLUMNS => 10, MAXLENGTH => 255, MASK => undef, VALUE => '', INPUTFUNC => \&scankey, FOREGROUND => 'white', BACKGROUND => 'black', BORDER => 1, BORDERCOL => 'red', FOCUSSWITCH => "\t\n", CURSORPOS => 0, TEXTSTART => 0, PASSWORD => 0, X => 1, Y => 1, READONLY => 0, LISTITEMS => [qw(foo bar wop)], }); The new method instantiates a new ComboBox object. The only mandatory key/value pairs in the configuration hash are B and B. All others have the following defaults: Key Default Description ============================================================ CAPTION undef Caption superimposed on border CAPTIONCOL undef Foreground colour for caption text COLUMNS 10 Number of columns displayed MAXLENGTH 255 Maximum string length allowed MASK undef Not yet implemented VALUE '' Current field text INPUTFUNC \&scankey Function to use to scan for keystrokes FOREGROUND undef Default foreground colour BACKGROUND undef Default background colour BORDER 1 Display a border around the field BORDERCOL undef Foreground colour for border FOCUSSWITCH "\t\n" Characters which signify end of input CURSORPOS 0 Starting position of the cursor TEXTSTART 0 Position in string to start displaying PASSWORD 0 Subsitutes '*' instead of characters READONLY 0 Prevents alteration to content LISTLINES 5 Number of lines to display at a time in the drop-down list LISTCOLUMNS[COLUMNS] Width of the drop-down list. Defaults to the same length specified for the CombBox widget LISTITEMS [] Items listed in drop-down list The B is only valid when the B is enabled. If the border is disabled, the field will be underlined, provided the terminal supports it. If B is undefined, no limit will be placed on the string length. =cut sub _conf { # Validates and initialises the new ComboBox object. # # Internal use only. my $self = shift; my %conf = ( LISTLINES => 5, FOCUSSWITCH => "\t", LISTITEMS => [], @_ ); my $err = 0; # Set the default list length to the field length if it # hasn't been defined $conf{LISTCOLUMNS} = $conf{COLUMNS} unless exists $conf{LISTLENGTH}; # Make sure no errors are returned by the parent method $err = 1 unless $self->SUPER::_conf(%conf); # Get updated conf hash %conf = (); %conf = %{$self->{CONF}}; # Create a list box object for the popup if no errors were encountered $self->{LISTBOX} = Curses::Widgets::ListBox->new({ X => 0, Y => 0, LISTITEMS => $conf{LISTITEMS}, INPUTFUNC => $conf{INPUTFUNC}, BORDERCOL => $conf{BORDERCOL}, FOREGROUND => $conf{FOREGROUND}, BACKGROUND => $conf{BACKGROUND}, LINES => $conf{LISTLINES}, COLUMNS => $conf{LISTCOLUMNS}, FOCUSSWITCH => "\n\e", BORDER => $conf{BORDER}, }) unless $err; return $err == 0 ? 1 : 0; } =head2 draw (inherited from Curses::Widgets::TextField) $cb->draw($mwh, 1); The draw method renders the text field in its current state. This requires a valid handle to a curses window in which it will render itself. The optional second argument, if true, will cause the field's text cursor to be rendered as well. =cut sub _geometry { my $self = shift; my $conf = $self->{CONF}; my @rv = @$conf{qw(LINES COLUMNS Y X)}; if ($$conf{BORDER}) { $rv[0] += 2; $rv[1] += 4; } else { $rv[1]++; } return @rv; } sub _border { my $self = shift; my $dwh = shift; my $conf = $self->{CONF}; my ($y, $x); # Get maxyx $dwh->getmaxyx($y, $x); # Set the colours $dwh->attrset(COLOR_PAIR( select_colour(@$conf{qw(BORDERCOL BACKGROUND)}))); $dwh->attron(A_BOLD) if $$conf{BORDERCOL} eq 'yellow'; # Border rendering if ($$conf{BORDER}) { # Draw the main box $self->SUPER::_border($dwh); # Draw the tee intersections and arrow $dwh->addch($y - 2, $x - 2, ACS_DARROW); $dwh->addch(0, $x - 3 , ACS_TTEE); $dwh->addch($y - 2, $x - 3, ACS_VLINE); $dwh->addch($y - 1, $x - 3, ACS_BTEE); # No border still requires the down-arrow } else { $dwh->addch(0, $x - 1, ACS_DARROW); } # Restore the default settings $self->_restore($dwh); } sub draw { my $self = shift; my $mwh = shift; my $active = shift; my ($by, $bx); # Get and store the window's beginning y & x $mwh->getbegyx($by, $bx); $self->{BEGYX} = [$by, $bx]; # Call the parent draw return $self->SUPER::draw($mwh, $active); } =head2 popup $combo->popup; This method causes the drop down list to be displayed. Since, theoretically, this list should never be seen unless it's being actively used, we will always assume that we need to draw a cursor on the list as well. =cut sub popup { my $self = shift; my $conf = $self->{CONF}; my ($x, $y, $border) = @$conf{qw(X Y BORDER)}; my ($by, $bx) = @{$self->{BEGYX}}; my $lb = $self->{LISTBOX}; my ($pwh, $items, $cp, $in, $key); # Calculate the border column/lines $border *= 2; if ($border) { $y--; } else { $y++; } # Create the popup window unless ($pwh = newwin($$conf{LISTLINES} + $border, $$conf{LISTCOLUMNS} + $border, $y + $border + $by, $x + $border + $bx)) { carp ref($self), ": Popup creation failed, possible geometry problems"; return; } $pwh->keypad(1); # Render the list box $key = $lb->execute($pwh); # Release the window $pwh->delwin; # Place the selected listbox value into the textfield if user # pressed enter if ($key eq "\n") { ($cp, $items) = $lb->getField(qw(CURSORPOS LISTITEMS)); $$conf{VALUE} = $$items[$cp] if (defined $cp && scalar @$items); } } sub input_key { # Process input a keystroke at a time. # # Internal use only. my $self = shift; my $in = shift; my $conf = $self->{CONF}; # Handle only special keys that will pull down the list if ($in eq "\n") { } elsif ($in eq KEY_DOWN) { $self->popup; # Hand everything else to the text widget } else { $self->SUPER::input_key($in); } } 1; =head1 HISTORY =over =item 2001/12/09 -- First version of the combo box =back =head1 AUTHOR/COPYRIGHT (c) 2001 Arthur Corliss (corliss@digitalmages.com) =cut
