The best examples of something like this are the days of the week or the months of the year. The following are functions which create or manipulate the Cdk itemlist widget. .SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS CDKITEMLIST *newCDKItemlist (CDKSCREEN *\f2screen\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, char *\f2title\f1, char *\f2label\f1, char **\f2itemList\f1, int \f2itemCount\f1, int \f2defaultItem\f1, boolean \f2box\f1, boolean \f2shadow\f1); .RS 3 This function creates a pointer to an itemlist 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 itemlist field. The \f2itemList\f1 parameter is the list of the strings which will be displayed in the widget; \f2itemCount\f1 is the number of elements in the list. The parameter \f2defaultItem\f1 is an integer value which represents which string is to be displayed as the default item. 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 activateCDKItemlist (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype *\f2actions\f1); .RS 3 This function activates the itemlist widget and lets the user interact with the widget. The parameter \f2itemlist\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL itemlist 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 0 to the number of buttons -1, representing the button selected. 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 injectCDKItemlist (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter \f2itemlist\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL itemlist 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 0 to the number of buttons -1, representing the button selected. 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 setCDKItemlist (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, char **\f2itemList\f1, int \f2itemCount\f1, int \f2currentSelection\f1, boolean \f2box\f1); .RS 3 This function lets the programmer modify certain elements of an already defined itemlist widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the \f4newCDKItemlist\f1 function. .RE void setCDKItemlistCurrentItem (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, int \f2currentItem\f1); .RS 3 This sets the currently displayed item in the widget. .RE int getCDKItemlistCurrentItem (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1); .RS 3 This returns the index of the currently displayed item in the widget. .RE void setCDKItemlistDefaultItem (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, int \f2defaultItem\f1); .RS 3 This sets the default item in the widget. .RE int getCDKItemlistDefaultItem (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1); .RS 3 This returns the index of the default item in the widget. .RE void setCDKItemlistBox (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, boolean \f2boxWidget\f1); .RS 3 This sets whether or not the widget will be draw with a box around it. .RE boolean getCDKItemlistBox (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1); .RS 3 This returns whether or not the widget will be drawn with a box around it. .RE void setCDKItemlistULChar (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the upper left hand corner of the widgets box to the given character. .RE void setCDKItemlistURChar (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the upper right hand corner of the widgets box to the given character. .RE void setCDKItemlistLLChar (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the lower left hand corner of the widgets box to the given character. .RE void setCDKItemlistLRChar (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the lower right hand corner of the widgets box to the given character. .RE void setCDKItemlistVerticalChar (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given character. .RE void setCDKItemlistHorizontalChar (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character. .RE void setCDKItemlistBoxAttribute (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\f1, chtype \f2attribute\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the attribute of the box. .RE void setCDKItemlistBackgroundColor (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\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 moveCDKItemlist (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\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. .RE void positionCDKItemlist (CDKITEMLIST *\f2itemlist\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. .LP .nf \f4Key Bindings\f1 .RS 3 \f2Key Action\f1 Up Arrow Moves the widget up one line.
