| Description: |
This library provides extensions to the expansive vruby/swin library to
give uses some conviences normally associated with GUI programming.
The capabilities it adds are:
1. The ability to tab/back-tab through controls on a form. Tabbing and
back-tabbing have always worked on a dialog box. Also it can capture
escape and return to close a form. (vrkey, vraddcontrol)
2. The ability to center a form over another form or on the screen.
(vrcenter)
3. The ability to layout a form using horizontal and vertical layout
managers so that fixed coordinates do not have to be used and forms
can be stretched and squeezed with controls moving along with the window.
Included in this is a layout manager that is independent of vruby/swin.
(vrlayout, Layout/Layout).
4. Useful constants for message boxes and static controls. (VRMessageBoxConst,
(Vrstatic)
5. The ability to use pop menus on list view items. (VRListMenu)
6. A mock library so that a user can do test first GUI programming.
