The "neoux" (aka NeoUX) library is a
UI framework for KittenOS NEO, meant
to provide a consistent set of
controls and a consistent way to
navigate the UI in any given case.
Thus, it's not used by text editing
programs such as Neolithic.
To get ahold of NeoUX in your app,
use code similar to:
local event, neoux
event = require("event")(neo)
neoux = require("neoux")(event, neo)
The neo table is used for retrieving
the required accesses for APIs.
The NeoUX API is divided into three
parts - the part that connects it to
Everest & utility functions, the UI
framework's "tcwindow" root, and the
basic set of controls.
The most reliable reference on the
API a control implements is given
at the top of libs/neoux.lua, and
for updatability reasons will not
be repeated here, except with the
note that "xI"/"yI" is within-char
position from 0 to 1.
Main functions:
fileDialog(mode[, callback]):
Creates a file dialog, returning a
file wrapper (see ul-fwrap) on
success, or nil on failure.
If a callback is given, then nil is
always returned immediately, and
the callback is called when the
dialog has shown.
mode is the mode used for the file,
so see ul-fwrap for values.
neoux.create = TODO
function (w, h, title, callback)
callback(window, evt, ...)
pad: See ul-fmttx, but loaded on
demand and unloaded after use.
fmtText: See ul-fmttx, but loaded on
demand and unloaded after use.
neoux.tcwindow = TODO
function (w, h, controls, closing,
bg, fg, selIndex)
startDialog(fmt, title, wait):
Shows a text dialog.
fmt is some un-safeTextFormat'd
text for the dialog.
title can be nil, or more un-STF'd
text for the dialog title.
wait can be nil/false to not wait,
and otherwise.
UI framework controls (TODO):
neoux.tcrawview =
function (x, y, lines)
table of lines not STF'd
neoux.tchdivider =
function (x, y, w)
neoux.tcvdivider =
function (x, y, h)
neoux.tcbutton =
function (x, y, text, callback)
callback(window)
neoux.tcfield =
function (x, y, w, textprop)
textprop(newval) -> nil
textprop() -> val
