Curses::UI::Dialog::Status is not really a dialog, since the user has no way of interacting with it. It is merely a way of presenting status information to the user of your program.

See exampes/demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::Status in the distribution for a short demo.

• -title < \s-1TEXT\s0 > Set the title of the dialog window to \s-1TEXT\s0.

• -message < \s-1TEXT\s0 > This option sets the initial message to show to \s-1TEXT\s0.

• new ( \s-1OPTIONS\s0 )

• layout ( )

• draw ( \s-1BOOLEAN\s0 ) These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an explanation of these.

• message ( \s-1TEXT\s0 ) This method will update the message of the status dialog to \s-1TEXT\s0. For this update to show, you will have to call the draw method of the progress dialog.
