ktools is a library which I wrote for my own programming needs, though its main purpose is to provide various text-mode user interface controls without a need to write too much code. Unfortunatelly, so far there is no documentation available, thus volunteering for such a task would be greatly appreciated. It's possible to get a clue with all the parts of the library from the examples included into the package. Now, a list of the main UI elements provided by ktools:

• textwindow
  • A class that provides a window control.
• treeview
  • A tree view element that consists of nodes, sub-nodes, sub-sub-nodes, etc. Can have any number of sub-levels.
• textinputline
  • A text input control. Provides a text editing within a single fixed-sized control.
• dialogbox
  • Dialog box is a container element that provides auto-layout of included elements. The ones that can be put into a dialog box are menus, tree views, text browsers, selection bars, etc.
• fileselector
  • Provides a dialog with a feature to select one or more files or directories.
• texteditor
  • Provides a text editor control with features to cut and paste blocks of text, undo and redo operations, syntax highlighting, etc.
• textbrowser
  • A text browsing element. Up and down scrolling directions.
• horizontalmenu
  • A horizontal menu item with an ability to define dropping down vertical sub-menus.
• verticalmenu
  • A scrolling list-type vertical menu.
• colorschemer
  • Color schemes manager for all the listed above controls. Supports loading and saving to files and specifying defaults.

Most of the code was written quite a long ago and since it's working so far I didn't try to rewrite it. That's why some places don't really contain a good-looking source. Anyway, it's usable. A small note. To display all of the stuff you'll also need to standard ncurses CRT handling library.
