     4  # Widgets
     5  
     6  Custom widgets may be created entirely from scratch or may be
     7  based on official widgets.
     8  
     9  The following official widgets are available:
    10  
    11    Box - Building block for creating other widgets.
    12    Button - Clickable button.
    13    Flex - Flexible stack-based layout. Each Flex widget may be oriented horizontally or vertically.
    14    Frame - Widget container. All child widgets are displayed at once. Child widgets are not repositioned by default.
    15    Grid - Highly customizable cell-based layout. Widgets added to the Grid may span multiple cells.
    16    Input - Text input widget. The Input widget is simply a Text widget that also accepts user input.
    17    Keyboard - On-screen keyboard.
    18    List - List of widgets as selectable items.
    19    Select - Dropdown selection widget.
    20    Sprite - Resizable image.
    21    Text - Text display widget.
    22    Window - Widget paging mechanism. Only one widget added to a window is displayed at a time.
    23  
    24  # Input Propagation
    25  
    26  Mouse events are passed to the topmost widget under the mouse. If a widget
    27  returns a handled value of false, the event continues to propagate down the
    28  stack of widgets under the mouse.
    29  
    30  Clicking or tapping on a widget focuses the widget. This is handled by etk
    31  automatically when a widget returns a handled value of true.
    32  
    33  Keyboard events are passed to the focused widget.
    34  
    35  # Focus Propagation
    36  
    37  When attempting to change which widget is focused, etk checks whether the widget
    38  to be focused accepts this focus. If it does, the previously focused widget is
    39  un-focused. If the widget does not accept the focus, the previously focused
    40  widget remains focused.
    41  
    42  # Cursor Unification
    43  
    44  Input events generated by desktop mice and touch screens are unified in etk.
    45  These input events are simplified into an image.Point specifying the location
    46  of the event and two parameters: clicked and pressed.
    47  
    48  Clicked is true the first frame the mouse event or touch screen event is received.
    49  When the mouse click or touch screen tap is released, the widget that was originally
    50  clicked or tapped always receives a final event where clicked and pressed are both false.
    51  
    52  # Draw Order
    53  
    54  Each time etk draws a widget it subsequently draws all of the widget's children
    55  in the order they are returned.
    56  
    57  # Subpackages
    58  
    59  There are two subpackages in etk: messeji and kibodo. These are available for
    60  use without requiring etk. Usually you will not need to reference any
    61  subpackages, as etk wraps them to provide widgets with additional features.
