tuiToolkit

tuiToolkit is a learning project with the goal of creating a simple and good looking windowed text user interface. The toolkit is written in C11.

Usage

Include the header file in your project. The toolkit currently relies on ncurses; to compile properly you have to use -lncursesw flag. Also make sure you have libncurses5-dev installed in your system.

Detailed instructions and function descriptions are in the header file.

Features

The library features:

• windows with optional titlebars, borders and per-window color theme
• widgets:
  • label
  • button
  • checkbox
  • list

TODO

1. near-future

• proper deallocation upon window ending
• widget focus controlled through parent window
• window focus controlled through screen
• widget feedback
• responsiveness
• more widgets

3. future

• rewrite the toolkit without ncurses dependency
• dialog boxes

The project is first and foremost an educational endeavor and as such I don't guarantee ever finishing those goals. If you feel like it, feel free to fork.
