Curses::Widgets::Calendar - Calendar Widgets $Id: Calendar.pm,v 1.103 2002/11/03 23:33:05 corliss Exp corliss $ use Curses::Widgets::Calendar; $cal = Curses::Widgets::Calendar->({ CAPTION => 'Appointments', CAPTIONCOL => 'yellow', INPUTFUNC => \&scankey, FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', BORDER => 1, BORDERCOL => 'red', FOCUSSWITCH => "\t", X => 1, Y => 1, HIGHLIGHT => [12, 17, 25], HIGHLIGHTCOL=> 'green', MONTH => '11/2001', ONYEAR => \&yearly, ONMONTH => \&monthly, ONDAY => \&daily, }); $cal->draw($mwh, 1); See the Curses::Widgets pod for other methods. Curses::Widgets::Calendar provides simplified OO access to Curses-based calendars. Each object maintains it's own state information.

new (inherited from Curses::Widgets)
$cal = Curses::Widgets::Calendar->({ CAPTION => 'Appointments', CAPTIONCOL => 'yellow', INPUTFUNC => \&scankey, FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', BORDER => 1, BORDERCOL => 'red', FOCUSSWITCH => "\t", X => 1, Y => 1, HIGHLIGHT => [12, 17, 25], HIGHLIGHTCOL=> 'green', MONTH => '11/2001', ONYEAR => \&yearly, ONMONTH => \&monthly, ONDAY => \&daily, }); The new method instantiates a new Calendar object. The only mandatory key/value pairs in the configuration hash are X and Y. All others have the following defaults: Key Default Description ============================================================ CAPTION undef Caption superimposed on border CAPTIONCOL undef Foreground colour for caption text INPUTFUNC \&scankey Function to use to scan for keystrokes FOREGROUND undef Default foreground colour BACKGROUND undef Default background colour BORDER 1 Display a border around the field BORDERCOL undef Foreground colour for border FOCUSSWITCH "\t" Characters which signify end of input HIGHLIGHT [] Days to highlight HIGHLIGHTCOL undef Default highlighted data colour HEADERCOL undef Default calendar header colour MONTH (current) Month to display VALUE 1 Day of the month where the cursor is ONYEAR undef Callback function triggered by year ONMONTH undef Callback function triggered by month ONDAY undef Callback function triggered by day Each of the ON* callback functions expect a subroutine reference that excepts one argument: a handle to the calendar object itself. If more than one trigger is called, it will be called in the order of day, month, and then year.

draw
$cal->draw($mwh, 1); The draw method renders the calendar in its current state. This requires a valid handle to a curses window in which it will render itself. The optional second argument, if true, will cause the calendar's selected day to be rendered in standout mode (inverse video). (c) 2001 Arthur Corliss (corliss@digitalmages.com)
