A question about interface programming

[cqlang]

Hi all,

The interface like sysinstall(), does any one know how to build an application like that? Does it support i18n (multi-byte chars)?

Please find the picture in the attachment.

Thanks a lot.

That kind of interface can be created with dialog(1) and dialog(3). Don't know about multi-byte, though.

thank you for the quick response.

any clue about scripting programming examples of dialog? or c examples?

thanks.

There are some shell examples in /usr/share/examples/dialog.

What about curses (see ncurses(3))?

 

[cqlang]

curses seems have license issues(take it as more limits in there), so ncurses would be a better choice.

FWIW and FYI, Dan Gookin wrote a good book on ncurses programming.
