The main intention of the demo is not to demonstate or +test all the features of ncurses and it's subsystems, but to provide +to you some sample code how to use the binding with Ada95. + +You may select this options: + + * Look at some ncurses core functions + * Look at some features of the menu subsystem + * Look at some features of the form subsystem + * Look at the output of the Ada.Text_IO like functions + for ncurses. + +#MAINPAD +You may press at any place in this demo CTRL-C. This will give you a command +window. You can just type in the Label-String of a function key, then this +key will be simulated. This should help you to run the application even if +you run it on a terminal with no or only a few function keys. With CTRL-N +and CTRL-P you may browse through the possible values in the command window. +#MENU00 +Here we give you a selection of various menu demonstrations. +#MENU-PAD00 +This menu itself is a demo for a single valued, 1-column menu with +descriptions for the items, a marker and a padding character between +the item name and the description. +#MENU01 +This is a demo of the some of the menu layout options. One of them +is the spacing functionality. Just press the Key labelled "Flip" to +flip between the non-spaced and a spaced version of the menu. Please +note that this functionality is unique for ncurses and is not found +in the SVr4 menu implementation. + +This is a menu that sometimes doesn't fit into it's window and +therefore it becomes a scroll menu. + +You can also see here very nicely the pattern matching functionality +of menus. Type for example a 'J' and you will be positioned to the +next item after the current starting with a 'J'. Any more characters +you type in make the pattern more specific. With CTRL-A and CTRL-Z +(for more details press the Key labelled "Keys") you can browse +through all the items matching the pattern. + +You may change the format of the menu. Just press one of the keys +labelled "4x1", "4x2" or "4x3" to get a menu with that many rows +and columns. + +With the Keys "O-Row" or "O-Col" (they occupy the same label and +switch on selection) you can change the major order scheme for +the menu. If "O-Col" is visible, the menu is currently major +ordered by rows, you can switch to major column order by pressing +the key. If "O-Row" is visible, it's just the reverse situation. +This Key is not visible in "4x1" layout mode, because in this case +the functionality makes no sense. + +With the Keys "Multi" or "Singl" (they occupy the same label and +switch on selection) you can change whether or not the menu allows +multiple or only single selection. + +With the Keys "+Desc" or "-Desc" (they occupy the same label and +switch on selection) you can change whether or not the descriptions +for each item should be displayed. Please not that this key is +not visible in the "4x3" layout mode, because in this case the +menu wouldn't fit on a typicall 80x24 screen. + +With the Keys "Disab" or "Enab" (they occupy the same label and +switch on selection) you can dis- or enable the selectability of +the month with 31 days. +#MENU-PAD01 +You may press "Flip" to see the effect of ncurses unique menu-spacing. +The Keys "4x1", "4x2" and "4x3" will change the format of the menu. +Please note that this is a scrolling menu. You may also play with the +pattern matching functionality or try to change the format of the menu. +For more details press the Key labelled "Help". +#FORM00 +This is a demo of the forms package. +#FORM-PAD00 +Please note that this demo is far from being complete. It really shows +only a small part of the functionality of the forms package. Let's hope +the next version will have a richer demo (You wan't to contribute ?). +#NOTIMPL +Sorry this functionality of the demo is not implemented at the moment. +Remember this is a freeware project, so I can use only my very rare +free time to continue coding. If you would like to contribute, you +are very welcome ! +#CURSES00 +This is a menu where you can select some different demos of the ncurses +functionality. +#CURSES-PAD00 +Please note that this demo is far from being complete. It really shows +only a small part of the functionality of the curses package. Let's hope +the next version will have a richer demo (You wan't to contribute ?). +#MOUSEKEYS +In this demo you may use this keys: + + - Key labelled "Help" to get a help + - Key labelled "Keys" is what you are reading now + - Key labelled "Quit" to leave the demo + +You may click the mouse buttons at any location at the screen and look +at the protocol window ! +#MOUSE00 +A rather simple use of a mouse as demo. It's there just to test the +code and to provide the sample source. + +It might be of interest, that the output into the protocol window is +done by the (n)curses Text_IO subpackages. Especially the output of +the button and state names is done by Ads's enumeration IO, which +allows you to print the names of enumeration literals. That's really +nice. +#MOUSE-PAD00 +This is a very simple demo of the mouse features of ncurses. It's there +just to test whether or not the generated code for the binding really +works on the different architectures (seems so). +#ATTRIBDEMO +Again this is a more than simple demo and just here to give you the +sourcecode. +#ATTRIBKEYS +You may press one of the three well known standard keys of this demo. +#ATTRIB-PAD00 +Again this is a more than simple demo and just here to give you the +sourcecode. Feel free to contribute more. +#TEXTIO +#TEXTIOKEYS +#TEXTIO-PAD00 +#END |
