Struct LogView 

pub struct LogView { /* private fields */ }

A read-only, append-only, tail-following log / console view.

Construct with LogView::new, feed it with a LogViewHandle from handle, and add it to the tree. It owns an internal document; the application never touches one directly, it only appends lines.

Implementations

impl LogView

pub fn new() -> Self

A fresh, empty log view: read-only, no caret, no wrapping, following the tail, unbounded. Attach a handle and append to it.

pub fn follow_tail(self, follow: bool) -> Self

Whether new lines stick the view to the bottom when it is already there (default true). Off makes the view hold position while it grows.

pub fn scrollback_limit(self, limit: usize) -> Self

Cap the retained lines: older lines beyond limit are evicted from the front. Unset (the default) keeps every line — memory stays flat in the line count, since only the visible window is ever shaped, but the raw text accumulates in the document and each append stays linear in the document’s size. A genuinely unbounded, sustained high-rate producer should therefore set a limit; a bounded or bursty one need not. The cap is soft: eviction is batched, so the count can briefly exceed limit (by a band that scales down with the cap).

pub fn severity_highlighter( self, classify: impl Fn(&str) -> Option<Color> + 'static, ) -> Self

Colour each line by what it is: the classifier maps a line’s text to a colour, or None to leave it in the default colour. The view knows how to colour a line; the application knows what an error line looks like.

pub fn announce_appends(self, announce: bool) -> Self

Whether appended lines are announced to assistive technology (default false). Off is the right default: a live region is correct for a handful of meaningful events and hostile for a build log at fifty lines a second. The application says which it is.

pub fn font_family(self, family: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Fallback font family. A log reads best monospaced, so columns align; pass a monospace family here.

pub fn follow_text_scale(self, follow: bool) -> Self

Whether the view grows text with the global accessibility text scale (default true).

pub fn v_scroll_policy(self, policy: ScrollPolicy) -> Self

Vertical scrollbar policy (default Auto).

pub fn h_scroll_policy(self, policy: ScrollPolicy) -> Self

Horizontal scrollbar policy (default Auto).

pub fn background(self, color: impl Into<ColorProp>) -> Self

Override the background colour (accepts a Color, theme role, or Signal). Default tracks the theme’s editor_bg.

pub fn text_color(self, color: impl Into<ColorProp>) -> Self

Override the default text colour. Per-line severity colours (from severity_highlighter) still win.

pub fn selection_color(self, color: impl Into<ColorProp>) -> Self

Override the selection colour.

pub fn handle(&self) -> LogViewHandle

A cloneable handle to append to the view and drive it from anywhere.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for LogView

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for LogView

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Widget for LogView

fn build(&mut self, ctx: &mut BuildContext<'_>) -> Vec<WidgetId>

Compose child widgets. Called once after the widget is placed in the arena, and again on environment change (theme switch, locale switch). Takes &mut self — store child IDs, signal handles, any state needed later. Returns the list of root child IDs (empty for leaf widgets).

fn layout_response( &self, proposal: SizeProposal, _ctx: &LayoutContext<'_>, ) -> LayoutResponse

Respond to the parent’s size proposal with this widget’s wanted size, grow/shrink weights, and compression floor (see [LayoutResponse]).

fn place_children( &self, bounds: Rect, _proposal: SizeProposal, children: &mut [WidgetPlacement], _ctx: &LayoutContext<'_>, )

Position children within the allocated bounds.

fn paint(&self, bounds: Rect, canvas: &mut Canvas, ctx: &PaintContext<'_>)

Draw the widget’s visual representation.

fn children(&self) -> Vec<WidgetId>

Return the child widget IDs that this widget manages.

fn clips_children(&self) -> bool

Whether this widget clips its children to its bounds.

fn type_name(&self) -> &'static str

Concrete type name of this widget (e.g. "teksilo_widgets::button::Button"). The default implementation resolves at the impl site via std::any::type_name::<Self>(), so calls through &dyn Widget correctly dispatch to the monomorphized fn for the concrete type — getting the concrete name through the vtable without per-impl boilerplate.

fn cacheable_layout(&self) -> bool

Whether this widget’s layout_response may be memoized by the per-pass layout cache. Defaults to true.

fn wants_after_paint(&self) -> bool

Whether this widget wants its after_paint hook to fire each frame. Returning false (the default) saves a virtual call per widget per frame for the vast majority of widgets that don’t aggregate descendant geometry.

fn after_paint(&self, _view: &WidgetTreeView<'_>, _ctx: &PaintContext<'_>)

Called once per frame after this widget’s subtree has finished painting. Receives a read-only view of the layout-resolved arena so a parent can read its descendants’ final bounds — e.g. TitleBar aggregates its drag region and control-button rects into a single HitRegions payload for the Windows backend’s WM_NCHITTEST.

fn wants_post_paint(&self) -> bool

Whether this widget wants its post_paint hook to fire each frame. Returning false (the default) saves a virtual call per widget per frame for the vast majority of widgets that don’t draw a foreground over their children.

fn post_paint( &self, _bounds: Rect, _canvas: &mut Canvas, _ctx: &PaintContext<'_>, )

Draw a foreground layer over this widget’s children.

fn accessibility(&self, _builder: &mut AccessNodeBuilder)

Declare this widget’s accessibility identity.

fn wants_descendant_redirects(&self) -> bool

Whether this widget wants the AT walker to consult its a11y_redirect_descendant hook for every descendant during AT tree emission, not just its direct arena children.

fn a11y_redirect_descendant( &self, _self_id: WidgetId, _descendant: WidgetId, ) -> Option<NodeId>

Optional redirection hook for AT-tree placement of a child.

fn accessible_title_hint(&self) -> Option<String>

Suggest an accessible title to an enclosing container that wraps this widget as content — typically a modal / dialog shell that wants to propagate the inner content’s visible title as the shell’s own accessible name.

fn initial_focus_hint(&self) -> Option<WidgetId>

Optional hint that directs initial focus to a specific descendant when this widget is the root of a deferred-built modal surface.

fn accessibility_children(&self) -> Option<Vec<WidgetId>>

Optional override for the child ORDER presented to assistive technology, when it must differ from the paint / z-order child order returned by children.

fn as_any(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Any + 'static)>

Downcast hook. Default implementation returns None; concrete widgets override with Some(self) when they want to expose their concrete type to test-level introspection or reflection. The trait already bounds on std::any::Any so concrete types satisfy the 'static requirement.

fn as_any_mut(&mut self) -> Option<&mut (dyn Any + 'static)>

Mutable counterpart of as_any. Default returns None; widgets that want to expose mutable state to tests (e.g. so a test can mutate a Scene inside a SceneView post-layout) override with Some(self). Should follow the same opt-in pattern as as_any: only widgets that opt into & introspection should opt into &mut.

fn focus_reveal_rect(&self, _bounds: Rect) -> Option<Rect>

The rectangle (in absolute tree coordinates) that best represents this widget when the framework reveals it into an ancestor scroll area on focus gain. Returning None (the default) reveals the widget’s whole bounds — correct for most controls.

fn hit_shape(&self, _local_point: Point, _bounds: Rect) -> bool

Whether the point lies inside this widget’s actual shape, not just its rectangular bounds. Consulted by hit-testing right after the bounds check: returning false for a point that is inside the bounding box makes the widget transparent to the click there, so it falls through to whatever sibling is painted underneath (the same machinery as a fully pass-through node, but shape-aware).

fn preserves_children_on_rebuild(&self) -> bool

How rebuild_single_widget treats this widget’s existing children when re-running its build().

fn tooltip_has_content(&self) -> bool

Whether this widget, used as tooltip content, currently has anything worth showing.

fn declare_shortcuts(&self) -> Vec<Shortcut>

Declare the rebindable keyboard shortcuts this widget exposes, without installing handlers. The framework calls this at arena insertion time (before build()) and at certain lazy boundaries (e.g. Switcher walks declarations on its not-yet-mounted Pending slots), so settings UIs and the ShortcutRegistry see the keystrokes the moment the owning container mounts — even if build() hasn’t run.

fn take_handler_set(&mut self) -> Option<HandlerSet>

Extract attached handler set from a WidgetWithHandlers wrapper. Called during arena insertion to transfer handlers to the WidgetNode. Default: returns None (no attached handlers).
