use Curses::UI; my $cui = new Curses::UI; my $win = $cui->add('window_id', 'Window'); # The hard way. # ------------- my $dialog = $win->add( 'mydialog', 'Dialog::Status', -message => 'Hello, world!', ); $dialog->draw(); $win->delete('mydialog'); # The easy way (see Curses::UI documentation). # -------------------------------------------- $cui->status( -message => 'Some message' ); # or even: $cui->status( 'Some message' ); $cui->nostatus;
Curses::UI::Dialog::Status is not really a dialog, since the user has no way of interacting with it. It is merely a way of presenting status information to the user of your program.
See exampes/demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::Status in the distribution for a short demo.
-title < TEXT >
Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.
-message < TEXT >
This option sets the initial message to show to TEXT.
new ( OPTIONS )
layout ( )
draw ( BOOLEAN )
These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.
message ( TEXT )
This method will update the message of the status dialog to TEXT. For this update to show, you will have to call the draw method of the progress dialog.
