.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk radio widget creates a radio list. The following are functions which
create or manipulate the Cdk radio box widget.
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
CDKRADIO *newCDKRadio (CDKSCREEN *\f2screen\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, int \f2height\f1, int \f2width\f1, char *\f2title\f1, char **\f2radioList\f1, int \f2radioListLength\f1, chtype \f2choiceCharacter\f1, int \f2defaultItem\f1, chtype \f2highlight\f1, boolean \f2box\f1, boolean \f2shadow\f1);
.RS 3
This function creates a pointer to a radio 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 parameter \f2spos\f1 is where the scroll bar is to be placed. This can
accept one of three values: \f4LEFT\f1, which puts the scroll bar on the left
of the scrolling list. \f4RIGHT\f1 which puts the scroll bar on the right side
of the list, and \f4NONE\f1 which does not add a scroll bar. The parameters
\f2height\f1 and \f2width\f1 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.
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 parameter \f2radioList\f1 is the list of items
to be displayed in the radio list; \f2radioListLength\f1 is the number of elements
in the given list. The \f2highlight\f1 parameter specifies the display attribute
of the currently selected item. The \f2choiceCharacter\f1 parameter is the
character to use to highlight the current selection. The \f2defaultItem\f1
value is an integer which corresponds to the default selection. 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 activateCDKRadio (CDKRADIO *\f2radio\f1, chtype *\f2actions\f1);
.RS 3
This function activates the radio widget and lets the user interact with the
widget. The parameter \f2radio\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL radio 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 items -1, representing the item 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 injectCDKRadio (CDKRADIO *\f2radio\f1, chtype \f2character\f1);
.RS 3
This function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter
\f2radio\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL radio 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 items -1, representing the items 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 setCDKRadio (CDKRADIO *\f2radio\f1, chtype \f2highlight\f1, chtype \f2choiceCharacter\f1, boolean \f2box\f1);
.RS 3

.RE
void moveCDKRadio (CDKRADIO *\f2radio\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

.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

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.
