I want to design UI like mc,but I don't know how to do.
You article give me a good ideal.
I see some documents , like programing with curses ( oreilly books ) , ncurses documents and ncurses programing howto.
But they don't give me example to build a ui like mc.
I only konw use panel , menu and form to build ui like mc.
Your article give me another way.
Thanks lot.
Are there few people want to write code for console?
Now people like graphic mode program like x window , but I still
text mode.
Thank you for your article.

i read your article on the net , but i am facing some problem with ncurses . i am not able to design forms and panels using the library given
could you also send me the menu example fully developed for refernce




thatks for the nice article 2002-04-03 -+- Luciano Chavez -+- lnx1138@us.ibm.com -+- I inherited an ncurses utility that has a screen refresh problem. The application does not use new windows or sub windows to write to. Instead it simple uses x,y and length to emulate writing to a subwindow. Spaces are used to clear areas of the screen.

Under kterm, xterm and ETerm there are no screen refresh problems. But with gnome-terminal and multi-gnome-terminal you often get underlying areas not cleared. The gnome terminal variants use the ZvtWidget.

I am wondering if any ncurses app developers have ever seen a problem like this and what can be done to fix it.

2002-04-23 -+- Eric Reesor -+- jojo2@telus.net -+- The use of Ncurses for music notation is a disinct possibility.
Does anybody know if there is a way to port a notation engine eg: Lilypond
so that a diplay of the lily out could be instantly seen in a child window.
I suppose the postscpript output of lilypond would need a pixal map engine, or is there a non X postscript viewer already out there.
Does Ncurses redraw the screen at a fast enough rate at higher resolutions?
If it doesn't then it would be too slow for this type of application.
The other possibility is to use Latext out from Lilypond. Or split the Lily output into postscript viewing and Latext for printing.
The problem is perhaps the use of fonts for music notation.
Is there a way to use fonts in a Ncurses child window without drawing the output to the parent input window?
The reason I'm writing this is that I'm tired by the guied up bug ridden
notation software that is already out there and want to help create a fast notation system for teachers, composers and musicians without the obligatory midi crap that gets in the way of musicianship and learning. 2002-05-20 -+- Görkem Türe -+- ture@itu.edu.tr -+- aferim çok güzel olmuş.

I like this article. It is very well done. In fact, the author explain to us how it work and not the details of the functions.
It was just to say that !

I think that NCURSES is very fine.

I have installed gcc-2.96-98.i386.rpm and its dependence package gcc-2.96-98.i386.rpm.
I have some programas with curses in AIX, those are functioning correctly. When I try to compila with curses in Linux RedHat 7.2 occur this:

$ gcc teclas1.c -l curses
gcc: curses: No such file or directory

How can I fix it?

Thanks.

El sistema esta corriendo en una 486 con solo 8 Mb de RAM y un SuSE Linux 7.3 (si, no solo usa una maquina vieja, sino que corre una distribucion linux de las mas pesaditas....), como para ponerle la frutillita, el no sabia nada de ncurses, asi que tuvo que aprender para hacerlo de cero, y solo utilizo lo mas basico de ncurses (Por ejemplo, no tiene subventanas ni botones ni nada aun, solo menus). El se creo una libreria pequeña que guarda el estado de la pantalla, la cual hace las veces de soporte para la UI. El proximo paso sera incluir otras componentes de ncurses, que seguramente simplificaran mucho el diseño del sistema.
El objetivo de contar esto es mostrar como se logran mejores desarrollos bajo la filosofia open Source, puesto que sin ella no hubiera sido posible inspeccionar codigos, ni contar con HOWTO's o ayudas como estas on-line.
Creo firmemente que en un futuro no muy lejano este sera el modelo de desarrollo predominante, puesto que da unos resultados excelentes tanto para los usuarios finales como para los desarrolladores. -+- 200.32.85.146 = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt; Argentina.com v12b8.1) 2004-03-10 -+- pierre -+- -+- Reha,
