Description

A dropdown. When open it draws OUTSIDE its own area, over whatever is beneath -- that is what a dropdown is, and it uses a frame layer to do it.

Example

#import "std/numeric"
#import "std/tui"
using tui, numeric

dim as TuiSelectState st
dim as TuiSelect s
s.options.Push( "red" ) : s.options.Push( "green" ) : s.options.Push( "blue" )
s.state = @st
s.maxVisible = 5
s.SetFocused( TRUE )

print s.IsOpen( )                 '' false

dim as TuiEvent e
e.kind = TUIEVENT_KEY : e.key.code = TUIKEY_ENTER
s.HandleEvent( e )
print s.IsOpen( )                 '' true -- Enter opens it
