Spinner
Family: Shells & Overlays
Namespace: Tessera.Controls
Use Spinner when this interaction is the best match for your screen workflow.
When to use
- You need a
Spinner-style interaction inside the shells & overlays lane. - A titled widget surface improves scanability in dense shells.
- The control is mainly presentational or state-driven through property updates.
Minimal usage
csharp.cs
using Tessera.Controls;
using Tessera.Layout;
var widget = new Spinner
{
Title = "Spinner"
};
return Screen.Build(window => window.Body(body => body.Center(widget, width: 44, height: 9)));Common pitfalls
- Do not choose
Spinnerby name only; validate it against the target workflow. - Keep this control scoped to the shells & overlays concern; avoid cross-layer state coupling.
- Set focused/normal styles intentionally so keyboard focus remains obvious.
- Keep disabled state explicit and reversible so users understand why actions are blocked.
