A viewport window may now be added to + a pad. It will then be possible to use a builtin panning mechanism + to view the pad. + +970908 + Improve NCursesWindow class: added additional methods to + cover more ncurses functionality. Make refresh() and + noutrefresh() virtual members to allow different implementation + in the NCursesPanel class. + + CAUTION: changed order of parameters in vline() and hline() of + NCursesWindow class. + + Make refresh() in NCursesPanel non-static, it is now a + reimplementation of refresh() in the base class. Added + noutrefresh() to NCursesPanel. + + Added NCursesForm and related classes to support libform + functionality. + + Moved most of configuration related stuff from cursesw.h to + etip.h + + Added NCursesApplication class to support easy configuration + of menu and forms related attributes as well as ripped of + title lines and Soft-Label-Keys for an application. + + Support of Auto-Cleanup for a menus fieldlist. + + Change of return type for current_item() and operator[] for + menus. + + Enhanced demo. +970502 + + Introduced the THROW and THROWS functions/macros to prepare + a smoother transition to real exception handling. + + Exception classes provided in etip.h + + Added the NCursesMenu class to support libmenu functionality. + + The inheritace relation between NCursesWindow and NCursesColorWindow + was kind of brain damage. Monochrome is a special case of colored, so + the relation should be just the opposite. This would allow all + derived classes like NCursesPanel, NCursesMenu or NCursesForm to + have colors. + To resolve that design flaw I put the color functionality into the + NCursesWindow class and it can be switched on by the static member + useColors(). NCursesColorWindow is still there for compatibility + reasons. |
