.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk slider widget creates a visual slider box with a label and a slider 
field. The following are functions which create or manipulate the Cdk slider 
box widget.

.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
CDKSLIDER *newCDKSlider (CDKSCREEN *\f2screen\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, char *\f2title\f1, char *\f2label\f1, chtype \f2fillerCharacter\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 slider 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 slider field. The \f2fillerCharacter\f1 is the 
character to be used to draw the slider bar 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 slider 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 activateCDKSlider (CDKSLIDER *\f2slider\f1, chtype *\f2actions\f1);
.RS 3
This function activates the slider widget and lets the user interact with the
widget. The parameter \f2slider\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL slider 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 injectCDKSlider (CDKSLIDER *\f2slider\f1, chtype \f2character\f1);
.RS 3
This function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter 
\f2slider\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL slider 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 setCDKSlider (CDKSLIDER *\f2slider\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 slider widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter 
names listed in the \f4newCDKSlider\f1 function.
.RE

.RE

void setCDKSliderBackgroundColor (CDKSLIDER *\f2slider\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 moveCDKSlider (CDKSLIDER *\f2slider\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, 
\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.
