Write a widget API using TurboC graphics.h

Here is a simple widget API that uses the TurboC graphics.h library to create GUI widgets on the screen:

#include <graphics.h>

// Enum for widget types
enum WidgetType {
  BUTTON,
  LABEL,
  TEXTBOX,
  CHECKBOX,
  RADIOBUTTON
};

// Struct for widget positions and sizes
struct Rect {
  int x;
  int y;
  int width;
  int height;
};

// Struct for a widget
struct Widget {
  WidgetType type;
  Rect rect;
  char *text;
  bool checked;
};

// Function to create a widget
Widget createWidget(WidgetType type, Rect rect, char *text, bool checked) {
  Widget widget;
  widget.type = type;
  widget.rect = rect;
  widget.text = text;
  widget.checked = checked;
  return widget;
}

// Function to draw a widget on the screen
void drawWidget(Widget widget) {
  switch (widget.type) {
    case BUTTON:
      // Draw a button
      break;
    case LABEL:
      // Draw a label
      break;
    case TEXTBOX:
      // Draw a textbox
      break;
    case CHECKBOX:
      // Draw a checkbox
      break;
    case RADIOBUTTON:
      // Draw a radio button
      break;
  }
}

This widget API defines a Widget struct that contains the type, position, size, and text of a widget, and a createWidget function that creates a Widget object with the specified values. It also defines a drawWidget function that uses the graphics.h library to draw the widget on the screen.

To use this API, you would first create a Widget object using the createWidget function, specifying the type, position, size, and text of the widget. Then, you would call the drawWidget function to draw the widget on the screen.

For example, to create a button widget with the text "Click me!" and draw it on the screen, you could use the following code:

#include <graphics.h>

int main() {
  // Initialize the graphics mode
  int gd = DETECT, gm;
  initgraph(&gd, &gm, "");

  // Create a button widget
  Widget button = createWidget(BUTTON, {10, 10, 100, 50}, "Click me!", false);

  // Draw the button on the screen
  drawWidget(button);

  // Wait for the user to press a key
  getch();

  // Close the graphics mode
  closegraph();
  return 0;
}

This code creates a button widget with the specified position, size, and text, and then draws it on the screen using the drawWidget function. The drawWidget function uses the graphics.h library to draw the button on the screen, but the exact implementation of this function would depend on the specific details of how you want the button to look and behave.

case BUTTON:

To implement the drawWidget function for the BUTTON widget type, you can use the rectangle and outtextxy functions from the graphics.h library. The rectangle function draws a rectangle on the screen with the specified position and size, and the outtextxy function draws text on the screen at the specified position.

Here is an example implementation of the drawWidget function for the BUTTON widget type:

void drawWidget(Widget widget) {
  switch (widget.type) {
    case BUTTON:
      // Draw a rectangle for the button
      rectangle(widget.rect.x, widget.rect.y, widget.rect.x + widget.rect.width, widget.rect.y + widget.rect.height);

      // Draw the button text
      outtextxy(widget.rect.x + 10, widget.rect.y + 10, widget.text);
      break;
    case LABEL:
      // Draw a label
      break;
    case TEXTBOX:
      // Draw a textbox
      break;
    case CHECKBOX:
      // Draw a checkbox
      break;
    case RADIOBUTTON:
      // Draw a radio button
      break;
  }
}

This implementation of the drawWidget function uses the rectangle and outtextxy functions to draw a rectangle and the text of the button on the screen. The position and size of the rectangle and the text are taken from the rect and text fields of the Widget object.

To use this function, you would first create a Widget object with the BUTTON type, and then call the drawWidget function to draw the button on the screen. The drawWidget function will use the graphics.h library to draw the button on the screen with the specified position, size, and text.

case TEXTBOX:

To implement the drawWidget function for the TEXTBOX widget type, you can use the rectangle, line, and outtextxy functions from the graphics.h library. The rectangle function draws a rectangle on the screen with the specified position and size, the line function draws a line on the screen with the specified starting and ending points, and the outtextxy function draws text on the screen at the specified position.

Here is an example implementation of the drawWidget function for the TEXTBOX widget type:

void drawWidget(Widget widget) {
  switch (widget.type) {
    case BUTTON:
      // Draw a button
      break;
    case LABEL:
      // Draw a label
      break;
    case TEXTBOX:
      // Draw a rectangle for the textbox
      rectangle(widget.rect.x, widget.rect.y, widget.rect.x + widget.rect.width, widget.rect.y + widget.rect.height);

      // Draw a line for the cursor
      line(widget.rect.x + 10, widget.rect.y + 10, widget.rect.x + 10, widget.rect.y + widget.rect.height - 10);

      // Draw the text in the textbox
      outtextxy(widget.rect.x + 10, widget.rect.y + 10, widget.text);
      break;
    case CHECKBOX

add an event loop to handle input.

To add an event loop to handle input in the widget API, you can use the getch function from the conio.h library. The getch function waits for the user to press a key on the keyboard, and then returns the ASCII code of the key that was pressed.

Here is an example implementation of an event loop in the widget API, using the getch function to handle input from the user:

#include <graphics.h>
#include <conio.h>

// Enum for widget types
enum WidgetType {
  BUTTON,
  LABEL,
  TEXTBOX,
  CHECKBOX,
  RADIOBUTTON
};

// Struct for widget positions and sizes
struct Rect {
  int x;
  int y;
  int width;
  int height;
};

// Struct for a widget
struct Widget {
  WidgetType type;
  Rect rect;
  char *text;
  bool checked;
};

// Function to create a widget
Widget createWidget(WidgetType type, Rect rect, char *text, bool checked) {
  Widget widget;
  widget.type = type;
  widget.rect = rect;
  widget.text = text;
  widget.checked = checked;
  return widget;
}

// Function to draw a widget on the screen
void drawWidget(Widget widget) {
  switch (widget.type) {
    case BUTTON:
      // Draw a button
      break;
    case LABEL:
      // Draw a label
      break;
    case TEXTBOX:
      // Draw a textbox
      break;
    case CHECKBOX:
      // Draw a checkbox
      break;
    case RADIOBUTTON:
      // Draw a radio button
      break;
  }
}

int main() {
  // Initialize the graphics mode
  int gd = DETECT, gm;
  initgraph(&gd, &gm, "");

  // Create a widget
  Widget widget = createWidget(BUTTON, {10

void eventloop(Widget *widgets) {

To add an event loop to the widget API, you can define a separate eventloop function that takes an array of Widget objects as an argument and handles input from the user. The eventloop function can use the getch function to wait for the user to press a key, and then perform the appropriate action based on the key that was pressed.

Here is an example implementation of an eventloop function that handles input from the user:

// Function to handle input events
void eventloop(Widget *widgets) {
  // Loop until the user presses the "Esc" key
  while (true) {
    // Wait for the user to press a key
    int key = getch();

    // Check the key that was pressed
    switch (key) {
      case 27: // Esc key
        // Exit the event loop
        return;
      case 13: // Enter key
        // Handle the Enter key press
        break;
      default:
        // Handle other keys
        break;
    }
  }
}

This eventloop function uses the getch function to wait for the user to press a key, and then checks the key that was pressed. If the key was the "Esc" key (ASCII code 27), the function exits the event loop and returns. If the key was the "Enter" key (ASCII code 13), the function performs some action to handle the key press, such as activating a button or moving the cursor in a textbox. For other keys, the function can perform some default action or ignore the key press.

To use this eventloop function, you would call it from the main function and pass the array of Widget objects as an argument, like this:

int main() {
  // Initialize the graphics mode
  int gd = DETECT, gm;
  initgraph(&gd, &gm, "");

  // Create an array of widgets
  Widget widgets[] = {
    createWidget(BUTTON, {10, 10, 100, 50}, "Click me!", false),
    createWidget(TEXTBOX, {150, 10, 200, 50}, "", false)
  };

  // Draw the widgets on the screen
  for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
    drawWidget(widgets[i]);
  }

  // Handle input events
  eventloop(widgets);

  // Close the graphics mode
  closegraph();
  return 0;
}

This code creates an array of two Widget objects (a button and a textbox), and then calls the eventloop function to handle input from the user. The eventloop function will wait for the user to press a key, and then perform the appropriate action based on the key that was pressed. When the user presses the "Esc" key, the eventloop function will exit and the program will continue to the next line, which closes the graphics mode and ends the program.

case :// Tab key

To handle the "Tab" key press in the eventloop function, you can use the setactivepage and setvisualpage functions from the graphics.h library. The setactivepage function sets the active page in the graphics mode, which is the page where all drawing operations will take place. The setvisualpage function sets the visual page, which is the page that is currently being displayed on the screen.

When the user presses the "Tab" key, you can use the setactivepage and setvisualpage functions to switch between the different pages in the graphics mode, so that the user can see different sets of widgets on the screen.

Here is an example implementation of the eventloop function that handles the "Tab" key press:

// Function to handle input events
void eventloop(Widget *widgets, int numWidgets) {
  // Set the active page and the visual page to page 0
  int activePage = 0;
  int visualPage = 0;
  setactivepage(activePage);
  setvisualpage(visualPage);

  // Loop until the user presses the "Esc" key
  while (true) {
    // Wait for the user to press a key
    int key = getch();

    // Check the key that was pressed
    switch (key) {
      case 27: // Esc key
        // Exit the event loop
        return;
      case 9: // Tab key
        // Switch to the next page
        activePage = (activePage + 1) % numWidgets;
        visualPage = (visualPage + 1) % numWidgets;
        setactivepage(activePage);
        setvisualpage(visualPage);
        break;
      case 13: // Enter key
        // Handle the Enter key press
        break;
      default:
        // Handle other keys
        break;
    }
  }
}

This implementation of the eventloop function uses the setactivepage and `

Do it without active page. Have a global widget focus index instead. 

To implement the eventloop function without using the setactivepage and setvisualpage functions, you can use a global variable to keep track of the currently focused widget. When the user presses the "Tab" key, you can use this variable to switch the focus between the different widgets in the array.

Here is an example implementation of the eventloop function that uses a global variable to track the focused widget:

// Global variable for the focused widget
int focusedWidget = 0;

// Function to handle input events
void eventloop(Widget *widgets, int numWidgets) {
  // Loop until the user presses the "Esc" key
  while (true) {
    // Clear the screen
    cleardevice();

    // Draw all the widgets on the screen
    for (int i = 0; i < numWidgets; i++) {
      drawWidget(widgets[i]);
    }

    // Wait for the user to press a key
    int key = getch();

    // Check the key that was pressed
    switch (key) {
      case 27: // Esc key
        // Exit the event loop
        return;
      case 9: // Tab key
        // Switch the focus to the next widget
        focusedWidget = (focusedWidget + 1) % numWidgets;
        break;
      case 13: // Enter key
        // Handle the Enter key press
        break;
      default:
        // Handle other keys
        break;
    }
  }
}

This implementation of the eventloop function uses a global variable, focusedWidget, to keep track of the currently focused widget. When the user presses the "Tab" key, the focusedWidget variable is updated to the next widget in the array. The eventloop function then redraws all the widgets on the screen, and the currently focused widget will be highlighted or displayed differently to indicate that it has the focus.
default: //handle text insertion if a textbox is in focus

To handle text insertion in a textbox widget when it is in focus, you can add a case for the default key in the eventloop function. The default case will be executed for any key that is not explicitly handled by one of the other cases in the switch statement.

When the user types a key, you can check if the focused widget is a textbox, and if so, insert the typed character into the text of the textbox. To insert a character into a string, you can use the strncat function from the string.h library. The strncat function concatenates a specified number of characters from one string to the end of another string.

Here is an example implementation of the eventloop function that handles text insertion in a textbox widget:

// Function to handle input events
void eventloop(Widget *widgets, int numWidgets) {
  // Loop until the user presses the "Esc" key
  while (true) {
    // Clear the screen
    cleardevice();

    // Draw all the widgets on the screen
    for (int i = 0; i < numWidgets; i++) {
      drawWidget(widgets[i]);
    }

    // Wait for the user to press a key
    int key = getch();

    // Check the key that was pressed
    switch (key) {
      case 27: // Esc key
        // Exit the event loop
        return;
      case 9: // Tab key
        // Switch the focus to the next widget
        focusedWidget = (focusedWidget + 1) % numWidgets;
        break;
      case 13: // Enter key
        // Handle the Enter key press
        break;
      default:
        // Handle text insertion in a textbox widget
        if (widgets[focusedWidget].type == TEXTBOX) {
          // Insert the typed character into the textbox text
          char c[2] = {(char)key, '\0'};
          strncat(widgets[focusedWidget].text, c, 1);
        }
        break;
    }
  }
}

This implementation of the eventloop function checks if the focused widget is a textbox (using the type field of the Widget struct), and if so, inserts the typed character into the text of the textbox using the strncat function. The strncat function concatenates the typed character (converted to a string) to the end of the text in the textbox, so that the user can see the typed character in the textbox on the screen.
Write a box model layout engine. 

A box model layout engine is a tool that allows web developers to create and manage the layout of web pages using the CSS box model. The CSS box model defines the rectangular boxes that are used to render the content, padding, border, and margin of an HTML element on a web page.

To implement a box model layout engine, you can create a function that takes an HTML element and its CSS styles as arguments, and calculates the size and position of the element's boxes based on the values of the CSS styles. The function can then use these calculations to generate the HTML and CSS code that will be used to render the element on the web page.

Here is an example implementation of a box model layout engine that calculates the size and position of an element's boxes:

// Function to calculate the size and position of an element's boxes
void calculateBoxes(Element element, Styles styles) {
  // Calculate the dimensions of the content box
  int contentWidth = element.width - styles.paddingLeft - styles.paddingRight;
  int contentHeight = element.height - styles.paddingTop - styles.paddingBottom;

  // Calculate the dimensions of the padding box
  int paddingWidth = contentWidth + styles.paddingLeft + styles.paddingRight;
  int paddingHeight = contentHeight + styles.paddingTop + styles.paddingBottom;

  // Calculate the dimensions of the border box
  int borderWidth = paddingWidth + styles.borderLeft + styles.borderRight;
  int borderHeight = paddingHeight + styles.borderTop + styles.borderBottom;

  // Calculate the dimensions of the margin box
  int marginWidth = borderWidth + styles.marginLeft + styles.marginRight;
  int marginHeight = borderHeight + styles.marginTop + styles.marginBottom;

  // Calculate the position of the content box
  int contentX = element.x + styles.paddingLeft + styles.borderLeft + styles.marginLeft;
  int contentY = element.y + styles.paddingTop + styles.borderTop + styles.marginTop;

  // Calculate the position of the padding box
  int paddingX = element.x + styles.borderLeft + styles.marginLeft;
  int paddingY = element.y + styles.borderTop + styles.marginTop;

  // Calculate the position of the border box
  int borderX = element.x + styles.marginLeft;
  int borderY =

Write a hbox layout engine like latex.

A hbox layout engine is a tool that allows developers to create and manage the horizontal layout of elements on a web page. It is similar to the hbox layout system in LaTeX, which aligns elements horizontally and arranges them in a row.

To implement a hbox layout engine, you can create a function that takes an array of HTML elements and their CSS styles as arguments, and calculates the size and position of each element's boxes based on the values of the CSS styles. The function can then use these calculations to generate the HTML and CSS code that will be used to render the elements on the web page.

Here is an example implementation of a hbox layout engine that calculates the size and position of each element's boxes:

// Function to calculate the size and position of the elements in a hbox
void calculateHbox(Element elements[], Styles styles[], int numElements) {
  // Calculate the total width of the hbox
  int totalWidth = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < numElements; i++) {
    totalWidth += elements[i].width + styles[i].marginLeft + styles[i].marginRight;
  }

  // Calculate the x position of each element in the hbox
  int xPos = 0;
  for (int i = 0; i < numElements; i++) {
    // Calculate the x position of the element's margin box
    xPos += styles[i].marginLeft;

    // Calculate the x position of the element's border box
    int borderX = xPos;

    // Calculate the x position of the element's padding box
    int paddingX = xPos + styles[i].borderLeft;

    // Calculate the x position of the element's content box
    int contentX = xPos + styles[i].borderLeft + styles[i].paddingLeft;

    // Update the x position for the next element
    xPos += elements[i].width + styles[i].marginLeft + styles[i].marginRight;

    // Set the x position of the element's boxes
    elements[i].x = contentX;
    styles[i].borderX = borderX;
    styles[i].paddingX = paddingX;
  }
}

This implementation of the hbox layout engine calculates the total width of the hbox, which is the sum of the widths of all the elements in the hbox plus the margins around each element. It then calculates the x position of each element's boxes (content, padding, border, and margin) based on the element's width, the CSS styles of the element, and the x position of the previous element in the hbox.

Once the size and position of the elements in the hbox have been calculated, the hbox layout engine can generate the HTML and CSS code that will be used to render the elements on the web page.

render the hbox using video terminal escapes. 

To render a hbox on a video terminal, you can use escape sequences to control the cursor position and set the text attributes of the terminal. Escape sequences are special characters or sequences of characters that are interpreted by the terminal as commands to perform certain actions, such as moving the cursor or setting the text color.

Here is an example implementation of a function that renders a hbox on a video terminal using escape sequences:

// Function to render a hbox on a video terminal
void renderHbox(Element elements[], Styles styles[], int numElements) {
  // Loop through the elements in the hbox
  for (int i = 0; i < numElements; i++) {
    // Move the cursor to the position of the element's content box
    printf("\x1B[%d;%dH", elements[i].y, elements[i].x);

    // Set the text attributes of the element
    printf("\x1B[%d;%dm", styles[i].textColor, styles[i].backgroundColor);

    // Print the element's text
    printf("%s", elements[i].text);
  }
}

This implementation of the renderHbox function uses escape sequences to move the cursor to the position of each element's content box, set the text attributes of the element (text color and background color), and print the element's text on the terminal.

To use this function, you can first calculate the size and position of the elements in the hbox using the calculateHbox function discussed earlier. Then, you can call the renderHbox function to render the hbox on the terminal. The renderHbox function will use escape sequences to control the cursor position and text attributes, and print the text of each element in the hbox on the terminal.

use this to do text wrapping in a terminal.

To implement text wrapping in a hbox layout engine, you can modify the renderHbox function to break the text of each element into multiple lines if it exceeds the width of the element's content box.

To do this, you can use the strlen function from the string.h library to measure the length of the element's text, and the strncpy function to copy a substring of the text into a new string. You can then use the strlen function to measure the length of the substring, and if it is greater than the width of the element's content box, you can break the string into multiple lines by inserting a line break character (\n) at the appropriate position.

Here is an example implementation of the renderHbox function that includes text wrapping:

// Function to render a hbox on a video terminal
void renderHbox(Element elements[], Styles styles[], int numElements) {
  // Loop through the elements in the hbox
  for (int i = 0; i < numElements; i++) {
    // Check if the element's text needs to be wrapped
    int textLength = strlen(elements[i].text);
    if (textLength > elements[i].width) {
      // Create a new string to store the wrapped text
      char wrappedText[textLength + 1];
      memset(wrappedText, 0, textLength + 1);

      // Copy the text of the element into the new string
      strncpy(wrappedText, elements[i].text, textLength);

      // Insert line breaks into the wrapped text to fit the width of the element's content box
      int pos = 0;
      while (

while (

Here is the completed code for the renderHbox function that includes text wrapping:

// Function to render a hbox on a video terminal
void renderHbox(Element elements[], Styles styles[], int numElements) {
  // Loop through the elements in the hbox
  for (int i = 0; i < numElements; i++) {
    // Check if the element's text needs to be wrapped
    int textLength = strlen(elements[i].text);
    if (textLength > elements[i].width) {
      // Create a new string to store the wrapped text
      char wrappedText[textLength + 1];
      memset(wrappedText, 0, textLength + 1);

      // Copy the text of the element into the new string
      strncpy(wrappedText, elements[i].text, textLength);

      // Insert line breaks into the wrapped text to fit the width of the element's content box
      int pos = 0;
      while (pos < textLength) {
        // Find the position of the next space character in the wrapped text
        int spacePos = pos;
        while (spacePos < textLength && wrappedText[spacePos] != ' ') {
          spacePos++;
        }

        // Check if the next word fits in the element's content box
        int wordLength = spacePos - pos;
        if (wordLength > elements[i].width) {
          // The next word is too long to fit in the element's content box, so break it into multiple lines
          int lineLength = elements[i].width;
          while (pos + lineLength < textLength && wrappedText[pos + lineLength] != ' ') {
            lineLength++;
          }

          // Insert a line break at the end of the line
          wrappedText[pos + lineLength] = '\n';

          // Move the position to the start of the next line
          pos += lineLength + 1;

Can you generalize this to wrap trees of hboxes? 

Yes, the hbox layout engine can be generalized to support wrapping trees of hboxes by adding support for horizontal and vertical alignment, and by implementing recursive functions to calculate the size and position of the hboxes in the tree.

To support horizontal and vertical alignment, you can add additional fields to the Styles struct that define the alignment of the hbox and its elements. For example, you can add a horizontalAlignment field that specifies how the elements in the hbox should be aligned horizontally (left, center, right), and a verticalAlignment field that specifies how the elements in the hbox should be aligned vertically (top, middle, bottom).

To calculate the size and position of the hboxes in the tree, you can create recursive functions that traverse the tree and calculate the size and position of each hbox based on its alignment, the size and position of its parent hbox, and the size and position of its child hboxes.

Here is an example implementation of a recursive function that calculates the size and position of a hbox in a tree of hboxes:

// Function to calculate the size and position of a hbox in a tree of hboxes
void calculateHboxTree(HboxNode *node, Styles parentStyles) {
  // Calculate the size and position of the hbox
  calculateHbox(node.elements, node.styles, node.numElements);

  // Adjust the size and position of the hbox based on the alignment and the parent hbox
  alignHbox(node, parentStyles);

  // Recursively calculate the size and position of the child hboxes
  for (int i = 0; i < node.numChildren; i++) {
    calculateHboxTree(node.children[i], node.styles);
  }
}

This implementation of the calculateHboxTree function calculates the size

Use this to draw widgets using TurboC graphics.h

To use the hbox layout engine to draw widgets using the TurboC graphics.h library, you can create a function that takes a hbox tree and a Graphics struct as arguments, and uses the graphics.h library to draw the elements in the hbox tree on the screen.

Here is an example implementation of a function that draws a hbox tree using the TurboC graphics.h library:

// Function to draw a hbox tree using TurboC graphics.h
void drawHboxTree(HboxNode *node, Graphics graphics) {
  // Loop through the elements in the hbox
  for (int i = 0; i < node.numElements; i++) {
    // Set the text attributes of the element
    settextstyle(node.styles[i].font, node.styles[i].direction, node.styles[i].charsize);
    settextjustify(node.styles[i].horizontalAlignment, node.styles[i].verticalAlignment);
    setbkcolor(node.styles[i].backgroundColor);
    setcolor(node.styles[i].textColor);

    // Draw the element's text on the screen
    outtextxy(node.elements[i].x, node.elements[i].y, node.elements[i].text);
  }

  // Recursively draw the child hboxes
  for (int i = 0; i < node.numChildren; i++) {
    drawHboxTree(node.children[i], graphics);
  }
}

This implementation of the drawHboxTree function uses the graphics.h library to set the text attributes of each element in the hbox tree (font, direction, charsize, horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, background color, and text color), and to draw the element's text on the screen at the specified position. It then recursively calls the drawHboxTree function to draw the child hboxes in the tree.

To use this function, you can first calculate the size and position of the hboxes in the tree using the calculateHboxTree function discussed earlier. Then, you can create a Graphics struct that contains the necessary information to initialize the graphics mode and draw the widgets on the screen, and call the drawHboxTree function to draw the widgets on the screen using the graphics.h library.

Track the mouse cursor and detect which nodes the mouse is inside.

To track the mouse cursor and detect which nodes in a hbox tree the mouse is inside, you can create a function that takes a hbox tree, a Graphics struct, and the current mouse coordinates as arguments, and returns the node that the mouse is currently inside.

Here is an example implementation of a function that tracks the mouse cursor and detects which nodes in a hbox tree the mouse is inside:

// Function to track the mouse cursor and detect which nodes in a hbox tree the mouse is inside
HboxNode *detectMouse(HboxNode *node, Graphics graphics, int x, int y) {
  // Check if the mouse is inside the hbox
  if (x >= node.x && x <= node.x + node.width && y >= node.y && y <= node.y + node.height) {
    // The mouse is inside the hbox, so return the hbox node
    return node;
  }

  // The mouse is not inside the hbox, so check if it is inside any of the child hboxes
  for (int i = 0; i < node.numChildren; i++) {
    HboxNode *childNode = detectMouse(node.children[i], graphics, x, y);
    if (childNode != NULL) {
      // The mouse is inside a child hbox, so return the child hbox node
      return childNode;
    }
  }

  // The mouse is not inside the hbox or any of its child hboxes, so return NULL
  return NULL;
}

This implementation of the detectMouse function checks if the mouse is inside the current hbox by comparing the mouse coordinates (x and y) with the position and size of the hbox. If the mouse is inside the hbox, the function returns the hbox node. If the mouse is not inside the hbox, the function recursively calls the detectMouse function for each of the child hboxes, and returns the node that the mouse is inside, if any. If the mouse is not inside the hbox or any of its child hboxes, the function returns NULL.

To use this function, you can call the detectMouse function in a loop that continually checks the mouse coordinates and calls the detectMouse function to detect which node the mouse is currently inside. This will allow you to track the mouse cursor and detect which

Change the focus when the mouse is clicked. If it's in a textbox change the insertion point. 

To change the focus when the mouse is clicked in a hbox tree, you can create a function that takes a hbox tree, a Graphics struct, and the current mouse coordinates as arguments, and updates the focus of the hbox tree based on the node that the mouse is currently inside.

Here is an example implementation of a function that changes the focus when the mouse is clicked in a hbox tree:

// Function to change the focus when the mouse is clicked in a hbox tree
void changeFocus(HboxNode *node, Graphics graphics, int x, int y) {
  // Check if the mouse is inside the hbox
  if (x >= node.x && x <= node.x + node.width && y >= node.y && y <= node.y + node.height) {
    // The mouse is inside the hbox, so set the focus of the hbox
    node.focus = true;

    // Check if the hbox contains a textbox element
    for (int i = 0; i < node.numElements; i++) {
      if (node.elements[i].type == TEXTBOX) {
        // The hbox contains a textbox element, so set the insertion point of the textbox
        node.elements[i].insertionPoint = x - node.elements[i].x;
      }
    }
  } else {
    // The mouse is not inside the hbox, so clear the focus of the hbox
    node.focus = false;
  }

  // Recursively change the focus of the child hboxes
  for (int i = 0; i < node.numChildren; i++) {
    changeFocus(node.children[i], graphics, x, y);
  }
}

This implementation of the changeFocus function checks if the mouse is inside the current hbox, and if it is, it sets the focus of the hbox and updates the insertion point of any textbox elements in the hbox. If the mouse is not inside the hbox, the function clears the focus of the hbox. It then recursively calls the changeFocus function for each of the child hboxes to update the focus of the child hboxes.

To use this function, you can call the changeFocus function in a loop that continually checks the mouse coordinates and calls the changeFocus function to update the focus of the hbox tree. This will allow you to change the focus of the hbox tree when the mouse is clicked, and to update the insertion point of textbox elements when the mouse is clicked inside a textbox.

If the mouse is clicked on a button, call the click handler for the button. 

To call the click handler for a button when the mouse is clicked on the button in a hbox tree, you can create a function that takes a hbox tree, a Graphics struct, and the current mouse coordinates as arguments, and calls the click handler for the button that the mouse is currently inside.

Here is an example implementation of a function that calls the click handler for a button when the mouse is clicked on the button in a hbox tree:

// Function to call the click handler for a button when the mouse is clicked on the button in a hbox tree
void handleButtonClick(HboxNode *node, Graphics graphics, int x, int y) {
  // Check if the mouse is inside the hbox
  if (x >= node.x && x <= node.x + node.width && y >= node.y && y <= node.y + node.height) {
    // The mouse is inside the hbox, so check if the hbox contains a button element
    for (int i = 0; i < node.numElements; i++) {
      if (node.elements[i].type == BUTTON && node.elements[i].clickHandler != NULL) {
        // The hbox contains a button element, so call the click handler for the button
        node.elements[i].clickHandler();
      }
    }
  }

  // Recursively handle button clicks for the child hboxes
  for (int i = 0; i < node.numChildren; i++) {
    handleButtonClick(node.children[i], graphics, x, y);
  }
}

This implementation of the handleButtonClick function checks if the mouse is inside the current hbox, and if it is, it checks if the hbox contains a button element. If the
