Hi Fellows,
Is it possible in some way to create full Curses applications using CommandBox with tables widgets, spinner, dialogs, menus?

See attached screenshots.

Thanks in advance,
Omar

Yes it's possible, but there aren't really any helpers built for it at this time. You'd need to manually construct all of the output yourself including redrawing the screen when necessary. You can see the "snake" game for a simple example.

It would be an interesting module for CommandBox to support stuff like this better, but I'm not sure what the API for it would be nor do I have the time or need to work on it myself.

Thanks!

Another thing to check would be if the JLine library that we use has any built in support for this. The matainer mentioned wanting to build some support a few years back, but I never checked back to see if he had added any.

Thanks!

I was checking JLine3 source code on github and as far as i checked there is no support for such thing.

I'll search on the internet if someone made some similar.

Thanks!

Omar
