Turbo Vision - Rust TUI Library

WARNING: WORK IN PROGRESS

A Rust implementation of the classic Borland Turbo Vision text user interface framework.

Features

Complete UI Component Set: Windows, dialogs, buttons, input fields, menus, status bars, scrollbars
Scrollable Views: Built-in scrollbar support with keyboard navigation
Text Viewer: Ready-to-use scrollable text viewer with line numbers
Event-Driven Architecture: Keyboard and command-based event routing
Mouse Support: Full mouse support for buttons, menus, status bar, and dialog close buttons
Flexible Layout System: Geometry primitives with absolute and relative positioning
Color Support: 16-color palette with attribute system
Cross-Platform: Built on crossterm for wide terminal compatibility
Modal Dialogs: Built-in support for modal dialog execution
Focus Management: Tab navigation and keyboard shortcuts
ANSI Dump: Debug UI by dumping screen/views to ANSI text files (F12 for full screen, F11 for active view, with flash effect)

Quick Start

use turbo_vision::prelude::*;
use turbo_vision::app::Application;
use turbo_vision::views::{
    dialog::Dialog,
    button::Button,
    static_text::StaticText,
};

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let mut app = Application::new()?;

    // Create a simple dialog
    let mut dialog = Dialog::new(
        Rect::new(20, 8, 60, 16),
        "Hello World"
    );

    let text = StaticText::new(
        Rect::new(22, 10, 58, 12),
        "Welcome to Turbo Vision!"
    );
    dialog.add(Box::new(text));

    let button = Button::new(
        Rect::new(35, 13, 45, 15),
        "  OK  ",
        CM_OK,
        true
    );
    dialog.add(Box::new(button));

    dialog.execute(&mut app.terminal);
    Ok(())
}

Tip: Press F12 at any time to capture full screen to screen-dump.txt, or F11 to capture active window/dialog to active-view-dump.txt - both with a visual flash effect for debugging!

Module Overview

core: Fundamental types (geometry, events, drawing, colors)
