.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk scroll widget creates a scrolling list. The following are functions
which create or manipulate the Cdk scrolling list widget.
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
CDKSCROLL *newCDKScroll (CDKSCREEN *\f2screen\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, int \f2spos\f1, int \f2height\f1, int \f2width\f1, char *\f2title\f1, char **\f2scrollList\f1, int \f2scrollListLength\f1, boolean \f2numbers\f1, chtype \f2highlight\f1, boolean \f2box\f1, boolean \f2shadow\f1);
.RS 3
This function creates a pointer to a scroll 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 \f2scrollList\f1 is
the list of items to be displayed in the scrolling list; \f2scrollListLength\f1
is the number of elements in the given list. The parameter \f2numbers\f1 is a
boolean value stating that you want the items in the list to have a number
attached to the front of the list items. The \f2highlight\f1 parameter specifies
the display attribute of the currently selected 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 activateCDKScroll (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1, chtype *\f2actions\f1);
.RS 3
This function activates the scroll widget and lets the user interact with the
widget. The parameter \f2scroll\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL scroll 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 injectCDKScroll (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1, chtype \f2character\f1);
.RS 3
This function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter
\f2scroll\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL scroll 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 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. 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 setCDKScroll (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1, char **\f2scrollList\f1, int \f2scrollListLength\f1, boolean \f2numbers\f1, chtype \f2highlight\f1, boolean \f2box\f1);
.RS 3
This function lets the programmer modify certain elements of an already defined
scroll widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed
in the \f4newCDKScroll\f1 function.
.RE
void setCDKScrollItems (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1, char **\f2itemList\f1, int \f2listSize\f1, boolean \f2numbers\f1);
.RS 3
This function sets the contents of the scrolling list.
.RE
int getCDKScrollItems (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1, char **\f2itemList\f1);
.RS 3
This fills the parameter \f2itemList\f1 with the contents of the scrolling
list. It returns the number of elements in the scrolling list.
.RE
void setCDKScrollHighlight (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1, chtype \f2highlight\f1);
.RS 3
This sets the attribute of the highlight bar.
.RE
chtype getCDKScrollHighlight (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1);
.RS 3
This returns the attribute of the highlight bar.
.RE

.RS 3
This sets whether or not the widget will be draw with a box around it.
.RE
boolean getCDKScrollBox (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1);
.RS 3
This returns whether or not the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
.RE
void addCDKScrollItem (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1, char *\f2item\f1);
.RS 3
This function allows the user to add an item into an already defined scrolling
list. The \f2scroll\f1 parameter is a pointer to the scrolling list to add the
item to. The parameter \f2item\f1 is a \f4char *\f1 representing the new item
to add. The item is always added to the end of the list.
.RE
void deleteCDKScrollItem (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1, int \f2position\f1);
.RS 3
This function allows the user to add an item into an already defined scrolling
list. The \f2scroll\f1 parameter is a pointer to the scrolling list to add the
item to. The parameter \f2f2position\f1 is an \f4int\f1 which specifies which
element to remove.
.RE

.RE
void setCDKScrollBackgroundColor (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\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 moveCDKScroll (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\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 positionCDKScroll (CDKSCROLL *\f2scroll\f1);
