A modern cross-platform port of Borland's Turbo Vision 2.0, the classic C++ framework for building text-based user interfaces. It preserves source compatibility with legacy Turbo Vision applications while adding Unicode/UTF-8 support and modern platform backends.
Use cases
- build a tui application in c++
- port a legacy turbo vision dos app to linux
- create terminal apps with windows and dialogs without dealing with terminal capabilities
- write a text-mode editor with unicode support
- retro-style console ui framework for cross-platform tools
When to choose
- you want a full-featured event-driven TUI framework with widgets like menus, dialogs, and views
- you need to compile existing Turbo Vision source code on modern platforms
- you want consistent rendering across Linux, Windows, and DOS terminals
When to avoid
- you need asynchronous or parallel programming models in your UI framework
- you prefer modern dynamic languages or declarative UI definitions
- you need a lightweight minimal terminal library rather than a full application framework
