SYNOPSIS

    use Curses::UI;
    my $cui = new Curses::UI;
    my $win = $cui->add('window_id', 'Window');

    # The hard way.
    # -------------
    my $dialog = $win->add(
        'mydialog', 'Dialog::Calendar'
    );
    $dialog->modalfocus;
    $win->delete('mydialog');
    my $date = $dialog->get();

    # The easy way (see Curses::UI documentation).
    # --------------------------------------------
    $date = $cui->calendardialog();

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.
