Terminal.Gui Project

Contains all files required to build the Terminal.Gui library (and nuget package).

Project Folder Structure

• Terminal.Gui.sln - The Visual Studio 2019 solution
• Core/ - Source files for all types that comprise the core building blocks of Terminal-Gui
  • Application - A static class that provides the base 'application driver'. Given it defines a Terminal.Gui application it is both logically and literally (because static) a singleton. It has direct dependencies on MainLoop, Events.cs NetDriver, CursesDriver, WindowsDriver, Responder, View, and TopLevel (and nothing else).
  • MainLoop - Defines IMainLoopDriver and implements the and MainLoop class.
  • ConsoleDriver - Definition for the Console Driver API.
  • Events.cs - Defines keyboard and mouse related structs & classes.
  • PosDim.cs - Implements Terminal-Gui's Computed Layout system. These classes have deep dependencies on View.
  • Responder - Base class for the windowing class hierarchy. Implements support for keyboard & mouse input.
  • View - Derived from Responder, the base class for non-modal visual elements such as controls.
  • Toplevel - Drived from View, the base class for modal visual elements such as top-level windows and dialogs. Supports the concept of MenuBar and StatusBar.
  • Window - Drived from TopLevel, implements Toplevel views with a visible frame and Title.
• Types/ - A folder (not namespace) containing implementations of Point, Rect, and Size which are ancient versions of the modern System.Drawing.Point, System.Drawing.Size, and System.Drawning.Rectangle.
• ConsoleDrivers/ - Source files for the three ConsoleDriver-based drivers: .NET: NetDriver, Unix & Mac: UnixDriver, and Windows: WindowsDriver.
• Views/ - A folder (not namespace) containing the source for all built-in classes that drive from View (non-modals).
• Windows/ - A folder (not namespace) containing the source all built-in classes that derive from Window.
