Widget
Widgets are the main building block in TermOx. Each Widget attempts to have a single, well defined purpose. This can be to display the time, to take text input and display what was typed, to be a pushable button, etc...
Widgets are the core of TermOx, each application is built up of a hierarchy of Widgets. Layout Widgets act as containers, grouping multiple Widgets together into logical units. These Widgets and Layouts form a tree structure that holds the entire application's UI state.
New Widget types can be created by inheriting from the Widget class and
overriding the event handler virtual functions.
See Building with Existing Widgets and Creating New Widgets.
Cursor
The Cursor can be enabled or disabled for each Widget using the Widget::cursor
member object.
Border
The Widget's border can be set by accessing the Widget::border member object.
Name / ID
A name can be given to individual Widget objects via the Widget::set_name(...)
and Widget::name() methods. A unique ID is generated for each Widget object,
this is accessed via the Widget::unique_id() method.
Widget Library
TermOx tries to provide a set of common Widgets, these can be built upon by inheriting from them and expanding their functionality.
