Typical uses for this widget would be a date field or a time field. The following are functions which create or manipulate the Cdk template box widget. .SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS CDKTEMPLATE *newCDKTemplate (CDKSCREEN *\f2screen\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, char *\f2title\f1, char *\f2label\f1, char *\f2plate\f1, char *\f2overlay\f1, boolean \f2box\f1, boolean \f2shadow\f1); .RS 3 This function creates a pointer to a template 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 template field. The \f2plate\f1 parameter defines what character is allowed at what position in the template field. This is done by creating a character plate by using special format character to tell the template widget what type of character is allowed where in the template widget. The following table lists all of the current format types. .LP .nf .RS 3 \f2Plate_Character Effect\f1 # Accepts an integer value. A Accepts an alphabetic value. C Accepts an alphabetic value. Automatically converts the character to upper case. c Accepts an alphabetic value. Automatically converts the character to lower case. M Accepts alphanumeric characters. X Accepts alphanumeric characters. Automatically converts the character to upper case. x Accepts alphanumeric characters. Automatically converts the character to upper case. Anything else Ignored and assumed a non-editable position. .fi .RE .LP The \f2overlay\f1 parameter is the overlay of the template field. If the field needed some sort of overlay, this parameter supplies this. A date field could have YY/MM/DD, the overlay parameter would display YY/MM/DD on an empty template field. 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. 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 char *activateCDKTemplate (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype *\f2actions\f1); .RS 3 This function activates the template widget and lets the user interact with the widget. The parameter \f2template\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL template 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 \f4char *\f1 representing the information typed into the widget and the structure member \f4exitType\f1 will be set to \f4vNORMAL\f1. If the character entered was \f4ESCAPE\f1 then the function will returns \f4NULL\f1 pointer and the structure member \f4exitType\f1 is set to \f4vESCAPE_HIT\f1. .RE char *injectCDKTemplate (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter \f2template\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL template. The parameter \f2character\f1 is the character to inject into the widget. If the character injected into this widget was \f4RETURN\f1 or \f4TAB\f1 then this function will return a \f4char *\f1 representing the information typed into the widget and the structure member \f4exitType\f1 will be set to \f4vNORMAL\f1. If the character entered was \f4ESCAPE\f1 then the function will returns \f4NULL\f1 pointer and the structure member \f4exitType\f1 is 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 a \f4NULL\f1 pointer. .RE void setCDKTemplate (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, char *\f2value\f1, boolean \f2box\f1); .RS 3 This function lets the programmer modify certain elements of an already defined template widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the \f4newCDKTemplate\f1 function. .RE void setCDKTemplateValue (CDKTEMPLATE *template, char *value); .RS 3 This sets the value in the widget. .RE char *getCDKTemplateValue (CDKTEMPLATE *template); .RS 3 This returns the current value of the widget. .RE void setCDKTemplateMin (CDKTEMPLATE *template, int min); .RS 3 This sets the minimum number of characters that have to be entered before the widget will exit. .RE int getCDKTemplateMin (CDKTEMPLATE *template); .RS 3 This returns the minimum characters that have to be entered before the widget will exit. .RE void setCDKTemplateBox (CDKTEMPLATE *template, boolean Box); .RS 3 This sets whether or not the widget will be draw with a box around it. .RE boolean getCDKTemplateBox (CDKTEMPLATE *template); .RS 3 This returns whether or not the widget will be drawn with a box around it. .RE void setCDKTemplateULChar (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the upper left hand corner of the widgets box to the given character. .RE void setCDKTemplateURChar (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the upper right hand corner of the widgets box to the given character. .RE void setCDKTemplateLLChar (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the lower left hand corner of the widgets box to the given character. .RE void setCDKTemplateLRChar (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the lower right hand corner of the widgets box to the given character. .RE void setCDKTemplateVerticalChar (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given character. .RE void setCDKTemplateHorizontalChar (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype \f2character\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character. .RE void setCDKTemplateBoxAttribute (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, chtype \f2attribute\f1); .RS 3 This function sets the attribute of the box. .RE void setCDKTemplateBackgroundColor (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\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 setCDKTemplateCB (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\f1, TEMPLATECB \f2callbackFunction\f1); .RS 3 This function allows the programmer to set a different widget input handler. The parameter \f2callbackFunction\f1 is of type \f4TEMPLATECB\f1. The current default function is \f4CDKTemplateCallBack\f1. .RE void moveCDKTemplate (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\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. (wierd 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 positionCDKTemplate (CDKTEMPLATE *\f2template\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.
