NAME

UI::Various::RichTerm::Window - concrete implementation of UI::Various::Window

SYNOPSIS

# This module should never be used directly!
# It is used indirectly via the following:
use UI::Various::Window;

ABSTRACT

This module is the specific implementation of UI::Various::Window using the rich terminal UI.

DESCRIPTION

The documentation of this module is only intended for developers of the package itself.

METHODS

_show - print UI element

$ui_element->_show;

description:

Show the complete window by printing its title and all its elements. Active elements (basically everything not just simple Text) are numbered to allow later interaction with them. The method should only be called from _process!

_process - handle action of UI element

$return_code = $ui_element->_process;

description:

Handle the action of the UI element. For a RichTerm's window this means a loop of printing the window's elements and allowing to select one of the active ones for processing until the window is exited, changed or destroyed.

returns:

+/- for next/previous window, 0 for simple exit and undef after destruction

destroy - remove window from application

RichTerm's concrete implementation of UI::Various::Window::destroy sets a flag for auto-destruction in _process.
