DESCRIPTION

Curses::UI::Dialog::Calendar is a calendar dialog. This type of dialog can be used to select a date.

See exampes/demo-widgets in the distribution for a short demo.

OPTIONS

  • -title < TEXT >

    Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.

  • -date < DATE >

    Set the date to start with to DATE. If -date is not defined, today will be used as the startdate.

METHODS

  • new ( OPTIONS )
  • layout ( )
  • draw ( BOOLEAN )
  • focus ( )
  • modalfocus ( )

    These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.

  • get ( )

    This method will return the date that was selected or undef if no date was selected.

SPECIAL BINDINGS

  • escape

    This will invoke the cancel button, so the calendar dialog returns without selecting any date.
