@gh-ninja Box is just the superclass for all other primitives. In most cases, you don't need to use it directly. (Only if you really just want to display an empty box.)

If you want to write something inside the box, use TextView.

Let me know if this helps.

Check out the demos/textview directory for examples. You can call the SetText() function to set your text or use the io.Writer interface to write to it.

Aaaaaa, it worked, thank you so much @rivo you are a best dude

My Code:

func main() {
	app := tview.NewApplication()
	textView := tview.NewTextView()
	textView.SetBorder(true)
	textView.SetTitle("box name")
	textView.SetText("hi, im cool box ^^")
	app.SetRoot(textView, true).EnableMouse(true).Run()
}

Do you have any social networks? like Telegram, so if I have any questions, I'll get in touch with you there, so you don't have to open the issue for a question.
