§Cursive Extras

Extra views for the Cursive TUI library as well some helper functions and macros

adv_select_view: Convenience macro that makes AdvancedSelectViews easier to create
c_focus: Convenience macro that wraps a view in a CircularFocus that wraps the arrow keys
hlayout: Convenience macro that creates a horizontal layout of views
report_error: Convenience macro that updates the specified StatusView reference with an error message and returns from the current callback if an error happens, returns the Ok value otherwise
select_view: Convenience macro that makes SelectViews easier to create
settings: Convenience macro that generates a settings view using sub-views wrapped in a Dialog view
settings_cb: Same as the settings! macro, but allows for a custom confirmation text to be defined as well
tab_layer: Convenience macro to generate a TabLayer view
tabs: Convenience macro to generate a TabDialog view
vlayout: Convenience macro that creates a vertical layout of views

AdvancedButton: A special button view that can be multiple lines, have data attached to it, and also accepts StyledStrings
AdvancedSelectView: A view that is a lot like a SelectView but allows mutable access to the selection and allows multiline items
HDivider: Horizontal divider view
ImageView: View that can render a low res image as text
LazyView: A view that lazily renders its contents
LoadingAnimation: Loading animation view that runs a task in a background thread and shows a loading animation and message while it completes and allows for retrieval of a return value. It is recommended to use load_resource() instead of this directly since it has a simpler interface
LogView: A special view that follows a specified log file similar to how tail -f <log file name> tracks a log file
StatusView: View that can be used to report an application’s status. It is meant to be placed at the bottom of the main Cursive layer
TabContainer: The internal view used by the tabbed views
TabDialog: A dialog-like view with tabs. This is very similar to the TabPanel view in cursive_tabs
TabLayer: A view similar to TabDialog but it fills up all the available space
VDivider: Vertical divider view

better_theme: Convenience function that generates a better looking Cursive theme
confirm_dialog: Convenience function that creates a dialog that runs a callback if the user selects “Yes”

info_dialog: Convenience function that shows a user a dialog box with a message that includes a back button
labeled_checkbox: Convenience function that returns a horizontal LinearLayout that is a named check box with a label

load_resource: Convenience function that shows a loading pop up
styled_editview: Convenience function that creates a named EditView that has a better looking style and can optionally act as a password entry box
