.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk scale widget creates a scale box with a label and a scale field. The
following are functions which create or manipulate the Cdk scale box widget.
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
CDKSCALE *newCDKScale (CDKSCREEN *\f2screen\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, char *\f2title\f1, char *\f2label\f1, chtype \f2fieldAttribute\f1, chtype \f2fillerCharacter\f1, EDisplayType \f2displayType\f1, int \f2fieldWidth\f1, int \f2minimumLength\f1, int \f2maximumLength\f1, boolean \f2box\f1, boolean \f2shadow\f1);
.RS 3
This function creates a pointer to a scale widget. The \f2screen\f1 parameter
is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in. The parameter \f2xpos\f1
controls the placement of the object along the horizontal axis. This parameter
can accept an integer value or one of the pre-defined values of \f4LEFT\f1,
\f4RIGHT\f1, and \f4CENTER\f1. The parameter \f2ypos\f1 controls the placement
of the object along the vertical axis. This parameter can accept an integer
value or one of the pre-defined values of \f4TOP\f1, \f4BOTTOM\f1, and \f4CENTER\f1.
The \f2title\f1 parameter is the string which will be displayed at the top of the
widget. The title can be more than one line; just provide a carriage return
character at the line break. The \f2label\f1 parameter is the string which will be
displayed in the label of the scale field. The \f2fieldAttribute\f1 is the
attribute of the characters displayed in the field.
The parameter \f2fieldWidth\f1 controls the width of the widget. If you
provide a value of zero the widget will be created with the full width of
the screen. If you provide a negative value, the widget will be created
the full width minus the value provided. The parameter \f2currentValue\f1
is the value of the scale field when the widget is activated. The parameters
\f2lowValue\f1 and \f2highValue\f1 are the low and high values of the widget
respectively. The parameter \f2increment\f1 is the regular increment value
while \f2fastIncrement\f1 is the accelerated increment value. The \f2box\f1
parameter states whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it or not.
The \f2shadow\f1 parameter accepts a boolean value to turn the shadow on or
off around this widget. If the widget could not be created then a \f4NULL\f1
pointer is returned.
.RE
int activateCDKScale (CDKSCALE \f2scale\f1, chtype *\f2actions\f1);
.RS 3
This function activates the scale widget and lets the user interact with the
widget. The parameter \f2scale\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL scale widget.
If the \f2actions\f1 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 \f4NULL\f1 pointer for \f2actions\f1. If the character entered
into this widget is \f4RETURN\f1 or \f4TAB\f1 then this function will return a
value from the low value to the high value. It will also set the structure
member \f4exitType\f1 to \f4vNORMAL\f1. If the character entered into this
widget was \f4ESCAPE\f1 then the widget will return a value of -1 and the
structure member \f4exitType\f1 will be set to \f4vESCAPE_HIT\f1.
.RE
int injectCDKScale (CDKSCALE *\f2scale\f1, chtype \f2character\f1);
.RS 3
This function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter
\f2scale\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL scale widget. The parameter
\f2character\f1 is the character to inject into the widget. If the character
injected into this widget was \f4RETURN\f1 then the character injected into
this widget is \f4RETURN\f1 or \f4TAB\f1 then this function will return a
value from the low value to the high value. It will also set the structure
member \f4exitType\f1 to \f4vNORMAL\f1. If the character entered into this
widget was \f4ESCAPE\f1 then the widget will return a value of -1 and the
structure member \f4exitType\f1 will be set to \f4vESCAPE_HIT\f1. Any other
character injected into the widget will set the structure member \f4exitType\f1
to \f4vEARLY_EXIT\f1 and the function will return -1.
.RE
void setCDKScale (CDKSCALE *\f2scale\f1, int \f2value\f1, int \f2minimumLength\f1, int \f2maximumLength\f1, boolean \f2box\f1);
.RS 3
This function lets the programmer modify certain elements of an already
defined scale widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter
names listed in the \f4newCDKScale\f1 function.

.RS 3
This returns the low value of the scale widget.
.RE

.RE
void setCDKScaleVerticalChar (CDKSCALE *\f2scale\f1, chtype \f2character\f1);
.RS 3
This function sets the vertical drawing character for the box to
the given character.
.RE
void setCDKScaleHorizontalChar (CDKSCALE *\f2scale\f1, chtype \f2character\f1);
.RS 3

the given character.
.RE
void setCDKScaleBoxAttribute (CDKSCALE *\f2scale\f1, chtype \f2attribute\f1);
.RS 3
This function sets the attribute of the box.
.RE
void setCDKScaleBackgroundColor (CDKSCALE *\f2scale\f1, char *\f2color\f1);
.RS 3
This sets the background color of the widget. The parameter \f2color\f1
is in the format of the Cdk format strings. To get more information look
at the \f4cdk_display\f1 manual page.
.RE
void moveCDKScale (CDKSCALE *\f2scale\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, boolean \f2relative\f1, boolean \f2refresh\f1);
.RS 3
This function moves the given widget to the given position. The parameters
\f2xpos\f1 and \f2ypos\f1 is the new position of the widget. The parameter
\f2xpos\f1 can accept an integer value or one of the pre-defined values of
\f4TOP\f1, \f4BOTTOM\f1, and \f4CENTER\f1. The parameter \f2ypos\f1 can
accept an integer value or one of the pre-defined values of \f4LEFT\f1,
\f4RIGHT\f1, and \f4CENTER\f1. The parameter \f2relative\f1 states whether
the \f2xpos\f1/\f2ypos\f1 pair is a relative move or an absolute move. For
example if \f2xpos\f1 = 1 and \f2ypos\f1 = 2 and \f2relative\f1 = \f2TRUE\f1,
then the widget would move one row down and two columns right. If the value
of \f2relative\f1 was \f2FALSE\f1 then the widget would move to the position
(1,2). Do not use the values of \f4TOP\f1, \f4BOTTOM\f1, \f4LEFT\f1,
2001-08-20 16:20:01 +04:00
\f4RIGHT\f1, or \f4CENTER\f1 when \f2relative\f1 = \f4TRUE\f1. (weird things
may happen). The final parameter \f2refresh\f1 is a boolean value which
states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move or not.
.RE
void positionCDKScale (CDKSCALE *\f2scale\f1);
.RS 3
This function allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the
cursor/keypad keys. The following key bindings can be used to move the
widget around the screen.

.RS 3
This function allows the user to create special key bindings. The
\f2widgetType\f1 parameter is a defined type which states what Cdk object
type is being used. To learn more about the type \f4EObjectType\f1 read
the \f2cdk_binding\f1 manual page. The \f2object\f1 parameter is the pointer
to the widget object. The \f2key\f1 is the character to bind. The
\f2function\f1 is the function type. To learn more about the key binding
callback function types read the \f4cdk_binding\f1 manual page. The last
parameter \f2data\f1 is a pointer to any data that needs to get passed to
the callback function.
