DESCRIPTION

The Cdk selection widget creates a selection list. The following functions create or manipulate the Cdk selection list widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

activateCDKSelection

activates the selection widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

	•		The parameter selection is a pointer to a non-NULL selection widget.
	•		If the actions parameter is passed with a non-NULL value, the characters in the array will be injected into the widget.

To activate the widget interactively pass in a NULL pointer for actions .

If the character entered into this widget is RETURN or TAB then this function will return 1. It will also set the widget data exitType to vNORMAL . If the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE then the widget will return a value of -1 and the widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT .

destroyCDKSelection

removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.

drawCDKSelection

draws the selection widget on the screen. If the box parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.

eraseCDKSelection

removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the widget.

getCDKSelectionBox

returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

getCDKSelectionChoice

returns the selection choice at the given index.

getCDKSelectionChoices

returns an array of the current selection choices for the widget.

getCDKSelectionCurrent

returns the current selection index.

getCDKSelectionHighlight

returns the attribute of the highlight bar.

getCDKSelectionItems

optionally copies the selection-list items into the caller’s list, which must be large enough since this function does not allocate it. If the list parameter is null, no copying is done. It returns the list size whether or not the list parameter is null.

getCDKSelectionMode

returns the selection mode at the given index.

getCDKSelectionModes

returns an array of the current modes for the widget.

getCDKSelectionTitle

returns the first line of the title of the selection widget. The caller must free the returned value.

injectCDKSelection

injects a single character into the widget.

	•		The parameter selection is a pointer to a non-NULL selection widget.
	•		The parameter character is the character to inject into the widget.

The return value and side-effect (setting the widget data exitType ) depend upon the injected character:
RETURN or TAB

the function returns 1. The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL .

ESCAPE

the function returns -1. vESCAPE_HIT . The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT .

Otherwise

unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings, the function returns -1. The widget data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT .

moveCDKSelection

moves the given widget to the given position.

	•		The parameters xpos and ypos are the new position of the widget.
	•		The parameter xpos may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP , BOTTOM , and CENTER .
	•		The parameter ypos may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values LEFT , RIGHT , and CENTER .
	•		The parameter relative states whether the xpos / ypos pair is a relative move or an absolute move.

For example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and relative = TRUE , then the widget would move one row down and two columns right. If the value of relative was FALSE , then the widget would move to the position (1,2).

Do not use the values TOP , BOTTOM , LEFT , RIGHT , or CENTER when relative = TRUE . (weird things may happen).

•

The final parameter refresh is a boolean value which states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.

newCDKSelection

creates a selection widget and returns a pointer to it. Parameters:
screen

is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.

	xpos		controls the placement of the object along the horizontal axis. It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values LEFT , RIGHT , and CENTER .
	ypos		controls the placement of the object along the vertical axis. It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP , BOTTOM , and CENTER .
	spos		is where the scroll bar is to be placed. It may be one of three values:

LEFT

			puts the scroll bar on the left of the scrolling list. RIGHT puts the scroll bar on the right side of the list, and
	NONE		does not add a scroll bar.

height and
width

control the height and width of the widget. If you provide a value of zero for either of the height or the width, the widget will be created with the full width and height of the screen. If you provide a negative value, the widget will be created the full height or width minus the value provided.

title

is the string which to display at the top of the widget. The title can be more than one line; just provide a carriage return character at the line break.

selectionList

is the list of items to display in the selection list

selectionListLength

is the number of elements in the given list.

choiceList

is the list of choices that will be selected when the user presses the space bar.

choiceListLength

is the length of this list.

highlight

specifies the display attribute of the currently selected item.

box

is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.

shadow

turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is returned.

positionCDKSelection

allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cursor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.

setCDKSelection

lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing selection widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the newCDKSelection function.

setCDKSelectionBackgroundAttrib

sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

setCDKSelectionBackgroundColor

sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings. See cdk_display (3) .

setCDKSelectionBox

sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

setCDKSelectionBoxAttribute

sets the attribute of the box.

setCDKSelectionChoice

sets the selection choice value at the given index.

setCDKSelectionChoices

sets the selection choice values of the widget.

setCDKSelectionCurrent

sets the current selection index.

setCDKSelectionHighlight

sets the attribute of the highlight bar.

setCDKSelectionHorizontalChar

sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character.

setCDKSelectionItems

sets the selection list items. The previous selection list items stored in the widget are freed.

setCDKSelectionLLChar

sets the lower left hand corner of the widget’s box to the given character.

setCDKSelectionLRChar

sets the lower right hand corner of the widget’s box to the given character.

setCDKSelectionMode

sets the selection mode at the given index.

setCDKSelectionModes

sets the selection mode of the elements of the widget. There are two acceptable values for the modes:

	0		which allows the user to change the selection value at the given index; and
	1		which sets the element to a read-only state.

setCDKSelectionPostProcess

allows the user to have the widget call a function after the key has been applied to the widget. The parameter function is the callback function. The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function. To learn more about post-processing see cdk_process (3).

setCDKSelectionPreProcess

allows the user to have the widget call a function after a key is hit and before the key is applied to the widget. The parameter function is the callback function. The parameter data is a pointer to void . To learn more about pre-processing see cdk_process (3).

setCDKSelectionTitle

set the selection list’s title.

setCDKSelectionULChar

sets the upper left hand corner of the widget’s box to the given character.

setCDKSelectionURChar

sets the upper right hand corner of the widget’s box to the given character.

setCDKSelectionVerticalChar

sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given character.

KEY BINDINGS

When the widget is activated there are several default key bindings which help the user enter or manipulate the information quickly:
