NAME

Tickit::Widget::Choice - a widget giving a choice from a list

CONSTRUCTOR

new

   $choice = Tickit::Widget::Choice->new( %args )

Constructs a new Tickit::Widget::Choice object.

Takes the following named arguments

choices => ARRAY

Optional. If supplied, should be an ARRAY reference containing two-element ARRAY references. Each will be added to the list of choices as if by a call to push_choice for each element in the array.

on_changed => CODE

Optional. If supplied, used to set the initial value of the on_changed event handler.

   $self->set_on_changed( $on_changed )

Return or set the CODE reference to be called when the chosen selection is changed.

 $on_changed->( $choice, $value )

METHODS

push_choice

   $choice->push_choice( $value, $caption )

Appends another choice to the list of choices, with the given value and display caption.
