# ui
|
||
|
--
|
||
|
import "github.com/andlabs/ui"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Package ui is a simple package which provides a way to write portable GUI
|
||
|
programs quickly and easily. It aims to run on as many systems as Go itself, but
|
||
|
presently has support for Windows, Mac OS X, and other Unix systems using the
|
||
|
Windows API, Cocoa, and GTK+ 3, respectively. It also aims to be Go-like: events
|
||
|
are transmitted via channels, and the library is fully safe for concurrent use.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use the library, place your main program code in another function and call
|
||
|
Go(), passing that function as a parameter. (This is necessary due to threading
|
||
|
restrictions on some environments, such as Cocoa.) Once in the function you pass
|
||
|
to Go(), you can safely use the rest of the library. When this function returns,
|
||
|
so does Go(), and package functions become unavailable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Building GUIs is as simple as creating a Window, populating it with Controls,
|
||
|
and then calling Open() on the Window. A Window only has one Control: you pack
|
||
|
multiple Controls into a Window by arranging them in layouts (Layouts are also
|
||
|
Controls). There are presently two Layouts, Stack and Grid, each with different
|
||
|
semantics on sizing and placement. See their documentation.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once a Window is open, you cannot make layout or event channel changes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once your Window is open, you can begin to handle events. Handling events is
|
||
|
simple: because all events are channels exposed as exported members of the
|
||
|
Window and Control types, simply select on them. Event channels are initialized
|
||
|
by default. However, before you Open a Window, you can freely reassign event
|
||
|
channels, such that multiple events trigger the same channel, making event logic
|
||
|
more compact. You may also choose not to handle events; events are sent
|
||
|
asynchronously so the GUI loop is not initerrupted.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is a simple, complete program that asks the user for their name and greets
|
||
|
them after clicking a button.
|
||
|
|
||
|
package main
|
||
|
|
||
|
import (
|
||
|
"github.com/andlabs/ui"
|
||
|
)
|
||
|
|
||
|
func myMain() {
|
||
|
w := ui.NewWindow("Hello", 400, 100)
|
||
|
ui.AppQuit = w.Closing // treat quitting the application like closing the main window
|
||
|
nameField := ui.NewLineEdit("Enter Your Name Here")
|
||
|
button := ui.NewButton("Click Here For a Greeting")
|
||
|
w.Open(ui.NewVerticalStack(nameField, button))
|
||
|
|
||
|
for {
|
||
|
select {
|
||
|
case <-w.Closing: // user tries to close the window or quit the program
|
||
|
return
|
||
|
case <-button.Clicked: // user clicked the button
|
||
|
ui.MsgBox(w, "Hello, " + nameField.Text() + "!", "")
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
func main() {
|
||
|
err := ui.Go(myMain)
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
panic(err)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
### On Dialogs
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following functions provide dialogs. They exist both in package scope and as
|
||
|
methods on Window.
|
||
|
|
||
|
MsgBox()
|
||
|
MsgBoxError()
|
||
|
|
||
|
Dialogs opened by using the package-scope functions are modal to the entire
|
||
|
application: the user cannot interact with any other window until they are
|
||
|
dismissed. Whether or not resizing Windows will still be allowed is
|
||
|
implementation-defined; if the implementation does allow it, resizes will still
|
||
|
work properly. Whether or not the dialog box stays above all other Windows in
|
||
|
the program is also implementation-defined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Dialogs opened by using the Window methods are modal to the receiver Window
|
||
|
only. Attempts to interact with the receiver Window will be blocked, but all
|
||
|
other Windows in the application can still be used properly. The dialog box will
|
||
|
also stay above the receiver Window. Whether the receiver Window can be resized
|
||
|
while the dialog box is displayed is implementation-defined, but will work
|
||
|
properly if allowed. If the receiver Window has not yet been created, the
|
||
|
methods panic. If the receiver Window has not been shown yet or is currently
|
||
|
hidden, what the methods do is implementation-defined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The return type also differs between the two types of functions. Both ultimately
|
||
|
either yield a signal that the dialog has been dismissed or a code specifying
|
||
|
what the user decided to do with the dialog (if it has multiple choices). The
|
||
|
package-scope functions wait for the dialog box to be dismissed and merely
|
||
|
return the code (or nothing if no code is needed). The Window methods return
|
||
|
immediately with a channel that will eventually receive either the signal or the
|
||
|
return code. Package ui does not close these channels, nor does it send multiple
|
||
|
values on the same channel.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Scrollbars
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following Controls have scrolling support built in:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Listbox *
|
||
|
Area
|
||
|
|
||
|
All of the above controls have both horizontal and vertical scrollbars. These
|
||
|
scrollbars hide themselves when not needed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[FUTURE DISCUSSIONS: scrolling programmatically, MouseEvent/KeyEvent scroll
|
||
|
overrides]
|
||
|
|
||
|
[FUTURE PLAN: Controls that are not marked with a * in the above list can have
|
||
|
their scrollbars disabled completely in code.]
|
||
|
|
||
|
The result of resizing the window such that the scrollbars consider themselves
|
||
|
too small is implementation-defined.

## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
var AppQuit chan struct{}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
AppQuit is pulsed when the user decides to quit the program if their operating
|
||
|
system provides a facility for quitting an entire application, rather than
|
||
|
merely close all windows (for instance, Mac OS X via the Dock icon). You should
|
||
|
assign one of your Windows's Closing to this variable so the user choosing to
|
||
|
quit the application is treated the same as closing that window. If you do not
|
||
|
respond to this signal, nothing will happen; regardless of whether or not you
|
||
|
respond to this signal, the application will not quit. Do not merely check this
|
||
|
channel alone; it is not guaranteed to be pulsed on all systems or in all
|
||
|
conditions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func Go
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func Go(main func()) error
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Go sets up the UI environment and runs main in a goroutine. If initialization
|
||
|
fails, Go returns an error and main is not called. Otherwise, Go does not return
|
||
|
to its caller until main does, at which point it returns nil. After it returns,
|
||
|
you cannot call future ui functions/methods meaningfully.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is not safe to call ui.Go() in a goroutine. It must be called directly from
|
||
|
main().
|
||
|
|
||
|
This model is undesirable, but Cocoa limitations require it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Go does not process the command line for flags (that is, it does not call
|
||
|
flag.Parse()), nor does package ui add any of the underlying toolkit's supported
|
||
|
command-line flags. If you must, and if the toolkit also has environment
|
||
|
variable equivalents to these flags (for instance, GTK+), use those instead.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func MsgBox
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func MsgBox(primaryText string, secondaryText string)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
MsgBox displays an informational message box to the user with just an OK button.
|
||
|
primaryText should be a short string describing the message, and will be
|
||
|
displayed with additional emphasis on platforms that support it. Optionally,
|
||
|
secondaryText can be used to show additional information. If you pass an empty
|
||
|
string for secondaryText, neither additional information nor space for
|
||
|
additional information will be shown. On platforms that allow for the message
|
||
|
box window to have a title, os.Args[0] is used.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See "On Dialogs" in the package overview for behavioral information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func MsgBoxError
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func MsgBoxError(primaryText string, secondaryText string)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
MsgBoxError displays a message box to the user with just an OK button and an
|
||
|
icon indicating an error. Otherwise, it behaves like MsgBox.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See "On Dialogs" in the package overview for more information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### type Area
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Area struct {
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Area represents a blank canvas upon which programs may draw anything and receive
|
||
|
arbitrary events from the user. An Area has an explicit size, represented in
|
||
|
pixels, that may be different from the size shown in its Window. For information
|
||
|
on scrollbars, see "Scrollbars" in the Overview. The coordinate system of an
|
||
|
Area always has an origin of (0,0) which maps to the top-left corner; all
|
||
|
image.Points and image.Rectangles sent across Area's channels conform to this.
|
||
|
The size of an Area must be at least 1x1 (that is, neither its width nor its
|
||
|
height may be zero or negative). For control layout purposes, an Area prefers to
|
||
|
be at the size you set it to (so if an Area is not stretchy in its layout, it
|
||
|
will ask to have that size).
|
||
|
|
||
|
To handle events to the Area, an Area must be paired with an AreaHandler. See
|
||
|
AreaHandler for details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Do not use an Area if you intend to read text. Area reads keys based on their
|
||
|
position on a standard 101-key keyboard, and does no character processing.
|
||
|
Character processing methods differ across operating systems; trying ot recreate
|
||
|
these yourself is only going to lead to trouble. [FOR FUTURE PLANNING Use
|
||
|
TextArea instead, providing a TextAreaHandler.]
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewArea
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewArea(width int, height int, handler AreaHandler) *Area
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewArea creates a new Area with the given size and handler. It panics if handler
|
||
|
is nil or if width or height is zero or negative.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Area) RepaintAll
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (a *Area) RepaintAll()
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
RepaintAll signals the entirety of the Area for redraw. If called before the
|
||
|
Window containing the Area is created, RepaintAll does nothing.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Area) SetSize
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (a *Area) SetSize(width int, height int)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SetSize sets the Area's internal drawing size. It has no effect on the actual
|
||
|
control size. SetSize is safe for concurrent use; if the Area is being repainted
|
||
|
or is handling an event, SetSize will wait for that to complete before changing
|
||
|
the Area's size. SetSize will also signal the entirety of the Area to be redrawn
|
||
|
as in RepaintAll. It panics if width or height is zero or negative.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### type AreaHandler
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type AreaHandler interface {
|
||
|
// Paint is called when the Area needs to be redrawn.
|
||
|
// The part of the Area that needs to be redrawn is stored in cliprect.
|
||
|
// Before Paint() is called, this region is cleared with a system-defined background color.
|
||
|
// You MUST handle this event, and you MUST return a valid image, otherwise deadlocks and panicking will occur.
|
||
|
// The image returned must have the same size as rect (but does not have to have the same origin points).
|
||
|
// Example:
|
||
|
// imgFromFile, _, err := image.Decode(file)
|
||
|
// if err != nil { panic(err) }
|
||
|
// img := image.NewRGBA(imgFromFile.Rect)
|
||
|
// draw.Draw(img, img.Rect, imgFromFile, image.ZP, draw.Over)
|
||
|
// // ...
|
||
|
// func (h *myAreaHandler) Paint(rect image.Rectangle) *image.RGBA {
|
||
|
// return img.SubImage(rect).(*image.RGBA)
|
||
|
// }
|
||
|
Paint(cliprect image.Rectangle) *image.RGBA
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Mouse is called when the Area receives a mouse event.
|
||
|
// You are allowed to do nothing in this handler (to ignore mouse events).
|
||
|
// See MouseEvent for details.
|
||
|
// If repaint is true, the Area is marked as needing to be redrawn.
|
||
|
// After handling the mouse event, package ui will decide whether to perform platform-dependent event chain continuation based on that platform's designated action (so it is not possible to override global mouse events this way).
|
||
|
Mouse(e MouseEvent) (repaint bool)
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Key is called when the Area receives a keyboard event.
|
||
|
// You are allowed to do nothing in this handler (to ignore keyboard events).
|
||
|
// See KeyEvent for details.
|
||
|
// If repaint is true, the Area is marked as needing to be redrawn.
|
||
|
// After handling the key event, package ui will decide whether to perform platform-dependent event chain continuation based on that platform's designated action (so it is not possible to override global key events, such as Alt-Tab, this way).
|
||
|
Key(e KeyEvent) (repaint bool)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
AreaHandler represents the events that an Area should respond to. These methods
|
||
|
are all executed on the main goroutine, not necessarily the same one that you
|
||
|
created the AreaHandler in; you are responsible for the thread safety of any
|
||
|
members of the actual type that implements ths interface. (Having to use this
|
||
|
interface does not strike me as being particularly Go-like, but the nature of
|
||
|
Paint makes channel-based event handling a non-option; in practice, deadlocks
|
||
|
occur.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### type Button
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Button struct {
|
||
|
// Clicked gets a message when the button is clicked.
|
||
|
// You cannot change it once the Window containing the Button has been created.
|
||
|
// If you do not respond to this signal, nothing will happen.
|
||
|
Clicked chan struct{}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Button represents a clickable button with some text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewButton
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewButton(text string) (b *Button)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewButton creates a new button with the specified text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Button) SetText
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (b *Button) SetText(text string)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SetText sets the button's text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Button) Text
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (b *Button) Text() string
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Text returns the button's text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### type Checkbox
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Checkbox struct {
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Checkbox is a clickable square with a label. The square can be either checked
|
||
|
or unchecked. Checkboxes start out unchecked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewCheckbox
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewCheckbox(text string) (c *Checkbox)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewCheckbox creates a new checkbox with the specified text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Checkbox) Checked
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Checkbox) Checked() bool
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Checked() returns whether or not the checkbox has been checked.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Checkbox) SetText
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Checkbox) SetText(text string)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SetText sets the checkbox's text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Checkbox) Text
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Checkbox) Text() string
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Text returns the checkbox's text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### type Combobox
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Combobox struct {
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Combobox is a drop-down list of items, of which at most one can be selected at
|
||
|
any given time. You may optionally make the combobox editable to allow custom
|
||
|
items. Initially, no item will be selected (and no text entered in an editable
|
||
|
Combobox's entry field). What happens to the text shown in a Combobox if its
|
||
|
width is too small is implementation-defined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewCombobox
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewCombobox(items ...string) *Combobox
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewCombobox makes a new Combobox with the given items.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewEditableCombobox
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewEditableCombobox(items ...string) *Combobox
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewEditableCombobox makes a new editable Combobox with the given items.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Combobox) Append
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Combobox) Append(what ...string)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Append adds items to the end of the Combobox's list. Append will panic if
|
||
|
something goes wrong on platforms that do not abort themselves.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Combobox) Delete
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Combobox) Delete(index int)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Delete removes the given item from the Combobox. It panics if the given index is
|
||
|
out of bounds.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Combobox) InsertBefore
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Combobox) InsertBefore(what string, before int)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
InsertBefore inserts a new item in the Combobox before the item at the given
|
||
|
position. It panics if the given index is out of bounds. InsertBefore will also
|
||
|
panic if something goes wrong on platforms that do not abort themselves.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Combobox) Len
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Combobox) Len() int
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Len returns the number of items in the Combobox.
|
||
|
|
||
|
On platforms for which this function may return an error, it panics if one is
|
||
|
returned.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Combobox) SelectedIndex
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Combobox) SelectedIndex() int
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SelectedIndex returns the index of the current selection in the Combobox. It
|
||
|
returns -1 either if no selection was made or if text was manually entered in an
|
||
|
editable Combobox.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Combobox) Selection
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (c *Combobox) Selection() string
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Selection returns the current selection.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### type Control
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Control interface {
|
||
|
// contains filtered or unexported methods
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Control represents an UI control. Note that Control contains unexported
|
||
|
members; this has the consequence that you can't build custom controls that
|
||
|
interface directly with the system-specific code (fo rinstance, to import an
|
||
|
unsupported control), or at least not without some hackery. If you want to make
|
||
|
your own controls, create an Area and provide an AreaHandler that does what you
|
||
|
need.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func Space
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func Space() Control
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Space returns a null Control intended for padding layouts with blank space. It
|
||
|
appears to its owner as a Control of 0x0 size.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For a Stack, Space can be used to insert spaces in the beginning or middle of
|
||
|
Stacks (Stacks by nature handle spaces at the end themselves). In order for this
|
||
|
to work properly, make the Space stretchy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For a Grid, Space can be used to have an empty cell. A stretchy Grid cell with a
|
||
|
Space can be used to anchor the perimeter of a Grid to the respective Window
|
||
|
edges without making one of the other controls stretchy instead (leaving empty
|
||
|
space in the Window otherwise). Otherwise, you do not need to do anything
|
||
|
special for the Space to work (though remember that an entire row or column of
|
||
|
Spaces will appear as having height or width zero, respectively, unless one is
|
||
|
marked as stretchy).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The value returned from Space() may or may not be unique.

#### type Grid
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Grid struct {
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Grid arranges Controls in a two-dimensional grid. The height of each row and
|
||
|
the width of each column is the maximum preferred height and width
|
||
|
(respectively) of all the controls in that row or column (respectively).
|
||
|
Controls are aligned to the top left corner of each cell. All Controls in a Grid
|
||
|
maintain their preferred sizes by default; if a Control is marked as being
|
||
|
"filling", it will be sized to fill its cell. Even if a Control is marked as
|
||
|
filling, its preferred size is used to calculate cell sizes. One Control can be
|
||
|
marked as "stretchy": when the Window containing the Grid is resized, the cell
|
||
|
containing that Control resizes to take any remaining space; its row and column
|
||
|
are adjusted accordingly (so other filling controls in the same row and column
|
||
|
will fill to the new height and width, respectively). A stretchy Control
|
||
|
implicitly fills its cell. All cooridnates in a Grid are given in (row,column)
|
||
|
form with (0,0) being the top-left cell.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewGrid
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewGrid(nPerRow int, controls ...Control) *Grid
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewGrid creates a new Grid with the given Controls. NewGrid needs to know the
|
||
|
number of Controls in a row (alternatively, the number of columns); it will
|
||
|
determine the number in a column from the number of Controls given. NewGrid
|
||
|
panics if not given a full grid of Controls. Example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
grid := NewGrid(3,
|
||
|
control00, control01, control02,
|
||
|
control10, control11, control12,
|
||
|
control20, control21, control22)
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Grid) SetFilling
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (g *Grid) SetFilling(row int, column int)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SetFilling marks the given Control of the Grid as filling its cell instead of
|
||
|
staying at its preferred size. This function cannot be called after the Window
|
||
|
that contains the Grid has been created. It panics if the given coordinate is
|
||
|
invalid.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Grid) SetStretchy
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (g *Grid) SetStretchy(row int, column int)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SetStretchy marks the given Control of the Grid as stretchy. Stretchy implies
|
||
|
filling. Only one control can be stretchy per Grid; calling SetStretchy multiple
|
||
|
times merely changes which control is stretchy. This function cannot be called
|
||
|
after the Window that contains the Grid has been created. It panics if the given
|
||
|
coordinate is invalid.

|
|

|
A KeyEvent represents a keypress in an Area.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Key presses are based on their positions on a standard 101-key keyboard found on
|
||
|
most computers. The names chosen for keys here are based on their names on US
|
||
|
English QWERTY keyboards; see Key for details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If a key is pressed that is not supported by Key, ExtKey, or Modifiers, no
|
||
|
KeyEvent will be produced.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (KeyEvent) EffectiveKey
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (e KeyEvent) EffectiveKey() byte
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
EffectiveKey returns e.Key if it is set. Otherwise, if e.ExtKey denotes a numpad
|
||
|
key, EffectiveKey returns the equivalent e.Key value ('0'..'9', '.', '\n', '+',
|
||
|
'-', '*', or '/'). Otherwise, EffectiveKey returns zero.

|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Listbox is a vertical list of items, of which either at most one or any number
|
||
|
of items can be selected at any given time. On creation, no item is selected.
|
||
|
For information on scrollbars, see "Scrollbars" in the Overview. Due to
|
||
|
implementation issues, the presence of horizontal scrollbars is currently
|
||
|
implementation-defined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewListbox
|

|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewListbox(items ...string) *Listbox

#### type Modifiers
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Modifiers uintptr
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Modifiers indicates modifier keys being held during an event. There is no way to
|
||
|
differentiate between left and right modifier keys. As such, what KeyEvents get
|
||
|
sent if the user does something unusual with both of a certain modifier key at
|
||
|
once is undefined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
const (
|
||
|
Ctrl Modifiers = 1 << iota // the keys labelled Ctrl or Control on all platforms
|
||
|
Alt // the keys labelled Alt or Option or Meta on all platforms
|
||
|
Shift // the Shift keys
|
||
|
Super // the Super keys on platforms that have one, or the Windows keys on Windows, or the Command keys on Mac OS X
|
||
|
)

#### type MouseEvent
|

// Pos is the position of the mouse in the Area at the time of the event.
|

|
// If Down contains nonzero, the Area will also receive keyboard focus.
|
||
|
Down uint
|
||
|
|
||
|
// If the event was generated by a mouse button being released, Up contains the ID of that button.
|
||
|
// Otherwise, Up contains 0.
|
||
|
// If both Down and Up are 0, the event represents mouse movement (with optional held buttons for dragging; see below).
|
||
|
// Down and Up shall not both be nonzero.
|
||
|
Up uint
|
||
|
|
||
|
// If Down is nonzero, Count indicates the number of clicks: 1 for single-click, 2 for double-click, 3 for triple-click, and so on.
|
||
|
// The order of events will be Down:Count=1 -> Up -> Down:Count=2 -> Up -> Down:Count=3 -> Up -> ...
|
||
|
Count uint

|
|
||
|
// Modifiers is a bit mask indicating the modifier keys being held during the event.
|
||
|
Modifiers Modifiers
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Held is a slice of button IDs that indicate which mouse buttons are being held during the event.
|
||
|
// Held will not include Down and Up.
|
||
|
// Held will be sorted.
|
||
|
// Only buttons 1, 2, and 3 are guaranteed to be detected by Held properly; whether or not any others are is implementation-defined.
|
||
|
//
|
||
|
// If Held is non-empty but Up and Down are both zero, the mouse is being dragged, with all the buttons in Held being held.
|
||
|
// Whether or not a drag into an Area generates MouseEvents is implementation-defined.
|
||
|
// Whether or not a drag over an Area when the program is inactive generates MouseEvents is also implementation-defined.
|
||
|
// Moving the mouse over an Area when the program is inactive and no buttons are held will, however, generate MouseEvents.
|
||
|
Held []uint
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
MouseEvent contains all the information for a mous event sent by Area.Mouse.
|
||
|
Mouse button IDs start at 1, with 1 being the left mouse button, 2 being the
|
||
|
middle mouse button, and 3 being the right mouse button. If additional buttons
|
||
|
are supported, they will be returned with 4 being the first additional button.
|
||
|
For example, on Unix systems where mouse buttons 4 through 7 are pseudobuttons
|
||
|
for the scroll wheel directions, the next button, button 8, will be returned as
|
||
|
4, 9 as 5, etc. The association between button numbers and physical buttons are
|
||
|
system-defined. For example, on Windows, buttons 4 and 5 are mapped to what are
|
||
|
internally referred to as "XBUTTON1" and "XBUTTON2", which often correspond to
|
||
|
the dedicated back/forward navigation buttons on the sides of many mice. The
|
||
|
examples here are NOT a guarantee as to how many buttons maximum will be
|
||
|
available on a given system.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the user clicked on the Area to switch to the Window it is contained in from
|
||
|
another window in the OS, the Area will receive a MouseEvent for that click.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (MouseEvent) HeldBits
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (e MouseEvent) HeldBits() (h uintptr)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
HeldBits returns Held as a bit mask. Bit 0 maps to button 1, bit 1 maps to
|
||
|
button 2, etc.

#### type ProgressBar
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type ProgressBar struct {
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
A ProgressBar is a horizontal rectangle that fills up from left to right to
|
||
|
indicate the progress of a long-running task. This progress is represented by an
|
||
|
integer within the range [0,100], representing a percentage. Alternatively, a
|
||
|
progressbar can show an animation indicating that progress is being made but how
|
||
|
much is indeterminate. Newly-created ProgressBars default to showing 0%
|
||
|
progress.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewProgressBar
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|

|
```go
|
||
|
func (p *ProgressBar) SetProgress(percent int)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SetProgress sets the currently indicated progress amount on the ProgressBar. If
|
||
|
percent is in the range [0,100], the progressBar shows that much percent
|
||
|
complete. If percent is -1, the ProgressBar is made indeterminate. Otherwise,
|
||
|
SetProgress panics. Calling SetProgress(-1) repeatedly will neither leave
|
||
|
indeterminate mode nor stop any animation involved in indeterminate mode
|
||
|
indefinitely; any other side-effect of doing so is implementation-defined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### type Stack
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Stack struct {
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Stack stacks controls horizontally or vertically within the Stack's parent. A
|
||
|
horizontal Stack gives all controls the same height and their preferred widths.
|
||
|
A vertical Stack gives all controls the same width and their preferred heights.
|
||
|
Any extra space at the end of a Stack is left blank. Some controls may be marked
|
||
|
as "stretchy": when the Window they are in changes size, stretchy controls
|
||
|
resize to take up the remaining space after non-stretchy controls are laid out.
|
||
|
If multiple controls are marked stretchy, they are alloted equal distribution of
|
||
|
the remaining space.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewHorizontalStack
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewHorizontalStack(controls ...Control) *Stack
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewHorizontalStack creates a new Stack that arranges the given Controls
|
||
|
horizontally.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewVerticalStack
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewVerticalStack(controls ...Control) *Stack
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewVerticalStack creates a new Stack that arranges the given Controls
|
||
|
vertically.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Stack) SetStretchy
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (s *Stack) SetStretchy(index int)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
SetStretchy marks a control in a Stack as stretchy. This cannot be called once
|
||
|
the Window containing the Stack has been created. It panics if index is out of
|
||
|
range.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### type Window
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type Window struct {
|
||
|
// Closing gets a message when the user clicks the window's close button.
|
||
|
// You cannot change it once the Window has been created.
|
||
|
// If you do not respond to this signal, nothing will happen; regardless of whether you handle the signal or not, the window will not be closed.
|
||
|
Closing chan struct{}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Window represents an on-screen window.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func NewWindow
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func NewWindow(title string, width int, height int) *Window
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
NewWindow allocates a new Window with the given title and size. The window is
|
||
|
not created until a call to Create() or Open().
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Window) Create
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (w *Window) Create(control Control)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Create creates the Window, setting its control to the given control. It does not
|
||
|
show the window. This can only be called once per window, and finalizes all
|
||
|
initialization of the control.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Window) Hide
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (w *Window) Hide()
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Hide hides the window.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Window) MsgBox
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (w *Window) MsgBox(primaryText string, secondaryText string) (done chan struct{})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
MsgBox is the Window method version of the package-scope function MsgBox. See
|
||
|
that function's documentation and "On Dialogs" in the package overview for more
|
||
|
information.

||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Window) MsgBoxError
|

MsgBoxError is the Window method version of the package-scope function
|
||
|
MsgBoxError. See that function's documentation and "On Dialogs" in the package
|

overview for more information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Window) Open
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func (w *Window) Open(control Control)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Open creates the Window with Create and then shows the Window with Show. As with
|
||
|
Create, you cannot call Open more than once per window.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### func (*Window) SetSize
|
||
|
