add new "control types" checkbox and option

[okbob]

Maybe I understand. Currently ncurses-st-menu doesn't share any logic with application, and implementation of check boxes or options are implemented outside like in post_menu https://github.com/okbob/pspg/blob/master/src/menu.c. It is designed to be minimalistic.

Probably it should not be too hard to implement new option ST_MENU_OPTION_MARKED_REF and function st_menu_set_option_ref(menu, cmd_BoldLabelsToggle, ST_MENU_OPTION_MARKED_REF, int *ref);

I have little bit problem with triple state values - because for every state I have to know drawing style.

Sounds very nice!

I have little bit problem with triple state values - because for every state I have to know drawing style.

For option fields the triple state would just mean to draw no option as chosen (I suggest to always allow this initially and optionally provide a way to toggle to the third state by choosing the the chosen option again).

For checkboxes: yes, you'd need to know the drawing style, the default could be [x] for marked, [ ] for unchecked and something like[o] for triple state.

Thank you for considering this FR.

Currently checks or switch are printed with same style with "✔". Because it is a menu, I am not sure if some wider image is good idea. I try to keep st-menu be minimalistic with very small overhead. Used symbol like "✔" can be changed by style configuration, but I prefer one char only - it can be UNICODE wide char, but only one char.

you can look on branch https://github.com/okbob/ncurses-st-menu/tree/external_states

I changed default symbols in style file - the boxes are not well readable.

Looks nice; a little space between those options and its text would be good.
I guess the options can have a shortcut, too.

I suggest to add the new control types in the demo + screenshots (ideally also for the popup).

this is problem - it increase a complexity of layout, and I would not to have too large this library.

you can display shortcuts - it is not any problem - but - st_menu displays shortcuts only. Nothing more

Maybe, but probably not now. I prefer more simpler examples than one complex. —
