=head1 DESCRIPTION

=over

This module implements application window with Tk Transaction Manager
features.
C<Tk::TM::wApp> is level above C<Tk::TM::Lib>, see there other descriptions
and principles.
There is no need to call 'use' for C<Tk::TM::Lib>, 
this is done by using C<Tk::TM::wApp>.

The components of application window are:

Data editing bar menu with toolbar, implemented with C<Tk::TM::wgMenu> 
(C<tmMenu> widget).

Navigation pane with list of screen names to open, implemented with
C<Tk::Tree>.

Screen pane for widgets of application screens, implemented with C<Tk::Frame>.

=head1 PARAMETERS

=over

Tk parameters of C<Tk::TM::wApp> window may be set via C<configure> 
C<Tk> method. They may be all parameters of C<Tk::MainWindow>.

TM parameters may be accessed via C<set> method of C<Tk::TM>. They are:
C<-wgmnu>, C<-wgnav>, C<-wgscr>, C<-title>,
C<-mdnav>,
C<-parm>

=item -mdnav = 'treee' || 'tree' || 'lst'

Mode of navigation between application screens.
Default is 'treee' ('tree exact'), that means that detail screen may be opened
only if it`s master screen is current; this mode may be excluded in future.
Mode 'tree' means that detail screen should be opened
for it`s master screen and if master was previously used.
Mode 'lst' means that screens are using C<-parm> values filled in
'stop' command of screen`s sub or C<doEnd> event of data object.

=item -parm = {}

Programmer`s parameters. This hash is also accessible via parameter C<-parm>
of C<tmMenu> widget (C<Tk::TM::wgMenu>), accessible via C<-wgmnu>.

=item -title = $mw->cget(-title)

Title of application, the first part of window`s title.
Other parts are combined for current application`s screen.
Default value is title of the window.

=item -wgnav

Widget with list of all available application screens.
This is navigation pane of application.
C<Tk::Tree> is used.

=item -wgmnu

Menu and toolbar for data editing. 
C<tmMenu> widget (C<Tk::TM::wgMenu>) is used.

=item -wgscr

Widget for application screens, to create application widgets inside it.
C<Tk::Frame> widget is used.

=head1 METHODS

=over

Common object methods as C<new>, C<initialize>, C<set> are described under
C<Tk::TM::Lib>.

Special methods are C<setscr>, C<Start>.

=item setscr (level, label, ?sub, ?parm, ?opt)

Defines screen of application.
Level is number of nest of screen in tree, where 0 is top level.
Label of the screen will be displayed at the navigation pane and as part
of the title of the window. 
Special label 'Login' is used for predefined login screen.
Sub is code to create widgets and data objects of screen.
Sub may also be filename relative to $0 path, it will be executed with C<do> to
obtain code.
Parm is hash reference with parameters of the screen to use inside sub.
Opt is hash reference with screen options, available via screen description, see C<\&callback>.

=item Start

Opens the first screen of application.

=head1 CALLBACK INTERFACE

=over

=item \&callback (self, command, opt, parent)

C<setscr> method defines callback to start and stop application screen.
Parameters are description of this screen, command ('start' or 'stop'), 
option string, description of parent screen.

The command is string 'start' or 'stop'.

The descriptions are hash references with entries
C<-cbcmd>, C<-cbnme>, C<-do>, C<-dos>, 
C<-wgapp>, C<-wgmnu>, C<-wgscr>,
C<-label>, C<-title>,
C<-parm>, C<-parmc>,
C<-reread>, C<-rereadc>

=item start

Start performance of screen. 
If C<-dos> is not defined, this is the first open of screen.

=item stop

Stop performance of screen.
The operation may be declared with 'return(1)' only.

=item -cbcmd

Reference to this callback sub.

=item -cbnme

Name of this callback sub for dynamic loading.

=item -do

Reference to first data object in C<-dos> list, to shorten access from outside.

=item -dos

Reference to list of data objects of screen. Callback should set it.
At the first open of the screen this is not defined.

=item -label

Label of the screen as displayed in C<-wgnav>.
Title of application window is combined with title of application, 
label of the screen,
title of the screen (described below at C<-title>)

=item -parm

Programmer`s parameters of the screen, defined with C<setscr> hash ref.
It is not the same as '-parm' in C<Tk::TM::wApp> or C<Tk::TM::wgMenu>.

=item -parmc

Common to C<Tk::TM::wApp> or C<Tk::TM::wgMenu> object programmer`s parameters.
This is also available via C<-wgapp> or C<-wgmnu>.

=item -reread

Reread this master screen internally before it's detail open.

=item -rereadc

Reread this master screen internally before it's detail open 
and turn off this toggle.

=item -title

Title of the screen, represents data displayed on screen.
Title of application window is combined with title of application, 
label of the screen (described above at C<-label>),
title of the screen.

=item -wgapp

Application window, provided by C<Tk::TM::wApp>.

=item -wgmnu

Application`s menu bar, provided by C<Tk::TM::wApp>.

=item -wgscr

Widget for application screen, to create application widgets inside it.
Provided by C<Tk::TM::wApp>.
C<Tk::Frame> widget is used.

=head1 VERSION

=over

=item "16-18/11/2000"

Status Line implemented.

=item "22-25/10/2000"

C<exit> calls replaced with C<Tk::exit> calls to avoid abnormal program 
terminations.

C<Tk::TM::Common::DBILogin> used for login screen.

C<setscr> - Sub may be filename relative to $0 path, it will be executed with C<do> to
obtain code. Opt parameter added.

Master's DataObject data is not retrieved when it's detail opening, 
as in 'tree' mode was. Application supposes now that only current row of master data
is needed and this is unchanged in database by other screens.
To do internal reread C<-reread> and C<-rereadc> screen descriptions may be used.

Error processing for callbacks added.

C<-do> screen description created.

C<-opt> screen description removed, C<-parm> should be used instead.

C<-parmc> screen description created.

C<-wglst> parameter of C<Tk::TM::wApp> renamed to C<-wgnav>.

C<-mdlst> parameter of C<Tk::TM::wApp> renamed to C<-mdnav>. 
New value 'treee' ('tree exact') is set as default.

=item "06/02/2000"

TO DO:

- Approve

- Debug and Test

=item "31/01/2000"

Created.
