#VERSION This is Version 00.90.00 of the demo package. #MENUKEYS In a menu you can use the following Keys in the whole application: - CTRL-X eXit the menu - CTRL-N Go to next item - CTRL-P Go to previous item - CTRL-U Scroll up one line - CTRL-D Scroll down one line - CTRL-F Scroll down one page - PAGE DOWN Scroll down one page - PAGE UP Scroll back one page - CTRL-B Scroll back one page - CTRL-Y Clear pattern - CTRL-H Delete last character from pattern - Backspace Delete last character from pattern - CTRL-A Next pattern match - CTRL-E Previous pattern match - CTRL-T Toggle item in a multi-selection menu - CR or LF Select an item - HOME Key Go to the first item - F3 Quit the menu - Cursor Down Down one item - Cursor Up Up one item - Cursor Left Left one item - Cursor Right Right one item - END Key Go to last item #FORMKEYS - CTRL-X eXit the form - CTRL-F Go forward to the next field - CTRL-B Go backward to the previous field - CTRL-L Go to the field left of the current one - CTRL-R Go to the field right of the current one - CTRL-U Go to the field above the current one - CTRL-D Go to the field below the current one - CTRL-W Go to the next word in the field - CTRL-T Go to the previous word in the field - CTRL-A Go to the beginning of the field - CTRL-E Go to the end of the field - CTRL-I Insert a blank character at the current position - CTRL-O Insert a line - CTRL-V Delete a character - CTRL-H Delete previous character - CTRL-Y Delete a line - CTRL-G Delete a word - CTRL-K Clear to end of field - CTRL-N Next choice in a choice field (Enumerations etc.) - CTRL-P Previous choice in a choice field. #HELP #HELPKEYS You may scroll with the Cursor Up/Down Keys. You may leave the help with the Function Key labelled 'Quit'. #INHELP You are already in the help system. You may leave the help with the Function Key labelled 'Quit'. #MAIN This is the main menu of the sample program for the ncurses Ada95 binding. The main intention of the demo is not to demonstate or test all the features of ncurses and it's subsystems, but to provide to you some sample code how to use the binding with Ada95. You may select this options: * Look at some ncurses core functions * Look at some features of the menu subsystem * Look at some features of the form subsystem * Look at the output of the Ada.Text_IO like functions for ncurses. #MAINPAD You may press at any place in this demo CTRL-C. This will give you a command window. You can just type in the Label-String of a function key, then this key will be simulated. This should help you to run the application even if you run it on a terminal with no or only a few function keys. With CTRL-N and CTRL-P you may browse through the possible values in the command window. #MENU00 Here we give you a selection of various menu demonstrations. #MENU-PAD00 This menu itself is a demo for a single valued, 1-column menu with descriptions for the items, a marker and a padding character between the item name and the description. #MENU01 This is a demo of the some of the menu layout options. One of them is the spacing functionality. Just press the Key labelled "Flip" to flip between the non-spaced and a spaced version of the menu. Please note that this functionality is unique for ncurses and is not found in the SVr4 menu implementation. This is a menu that sometimes doesn't fit into it's window and therefore it becomes a scroll menu. You can also see here very nicely the pattern matching functionality of menus. Type for example a 'J' and you will be positioned to the next item after the current starting with a 'J'. Any more characters you type in make the pattern more specific. With CTRL-A and CTRL-Z (for more details press the Key labelled "Keys") you can browse through all the items matching the pattern. You may change the format of the menu. Just press one of the keys labelled "4x1", "4x2" or "4x3" to get a menu with that many rows and columns. With the Keys "O-Row" or "O-Col" (they occupy the same label and switch on selection) you can change the major order scheme for the menu. If "O-Col" is visible, the menu is currently major ordered by rows, you can switch to major column order by pressing the key. If "O-Row" is visible, it's just the reverse situation. This Key is not visible in "4x1" layout mode, because in this case the functionality makes no sense. With the Keys "Multi" or "Singl" (they occupy the same label and switch on selection) you can change whether or not the menu allows multiple or only single selection. With the Keys "+Desc" or "-Desc" (they occupy the same label and switch on selection) you can change whether or not the descriptions for each item should be displayed. Please not that this key is not visible in the "4x3" layout mode, because in this case the menu wouldn't fit on a typicall 80x24 screen. With the Keys "Disab" or "Enab" (they occupy the same label and switch on selection) you can dis- or enable the selectability of the month with 31 days. #MENU-PAD01 You may press "Flip" to see the effect of ncurses unique menu-spacing. The Keys "4x1", "4x2" and "4x3" will change the format of the menu. Please note that this is a scrolling menu. You may also play with the pattern matching functionality or try to change the format of the menu. For more details press the Key labelled "Help". #FORM00 This is a demo of the forms package. #FORM-PAD00 Please note that this demo is far from being complete. It really shows only a small part of the functionality of the forms package. Let's hope the next version will have a richer demo (You wan't to contribute ?). #NOTIMPL Sorry this functionality of the demo is not implemented at the moment. Remember this is a freeware project, so I can use only my very rare free time to continue coding. If you would like to contribute, you are very welcome ! #CURSES00 This is a menu where you can select some different demos of the ncurses functionality. #CURSES-PAD00 Please note that this demo is far from being complete. It really shows only a small part of the functionality of the curses package. Let's hope the next version will have a richer demo (You wan't to contribute ?). #MOUSEKEYS In this demo you may use this keys: - Key labelled "Help" to get a help - Key labelled "Keys" is what you are reading now - Key labelled "Quit" to leave the demo You may click the mouse buttons at any location at the screen and look at the protocol window ! #MOUSE00 A rather simple use of a mouse as demo. It's there just to test the code and to provide the sample source. It might be of interest, that the output into the protocol window is done by the (n)curses Text_IO subpackages. Especially the output of the button and state names is done by Ads's enumeration IO, which allows you to print the names of enumeration literals. That's really nice. #MOUSE-PAD00 This is a very simple demo of the mouse features of ncurses. It's there just to test whether or not the generated code for the binding really works on the different architectures (seems so). #ATTRIBDEMO Again this is a more than simple demo and just here to give you the sourcecode. #ATTRIBKEYS You may press one of the three well known standard keys of this demo. #ATTRIB-PAD00 Again this is a more than simple demo and just here to give you the sourcecode. Feel free to contribute more. #TEXTIO #TEXTIOKEYS #TEXTIO-PAD00 #END
