.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk file selector widget creates a widget which allows a user to interact
with the Unix file system. This widget allows the user to traverse the file
system and even delete files. (See \f4NOTES\f1 below for more information)
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
CDKFSELECT *newCDKFselect (CDKSCREEN *\f2screen\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, int \f2height\f1, int \f2width\f1, char *\f2title\f1, char *\f2label\f1, chtype \f2fieldAttribute\f1, chtype \f2fillerChar\f1, chtype \f2highlight\f1, chtype \f2dirAttribute\f1, chtype \f2fileAttribute\f1, chtype \f2linkAttribute\f1, chtype \f2sockAttribute\f1, boolean \f2box\f1, boolean \f2shadow\f1);
.RS 3
This function creates a pointer to a fselect 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 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
\f2label\f1 sets the label of the file selector. The \f2fieldAttribute\f1
parameter sets the attribute of the entry field at the top of the widget;
\f2fillerCharacter\f1 defines the filler character for the entry field. The
\f2highlight\f1 sets the highlight attribute on the scrolling list. The next
four parameters: \f2dirAttribute\f1, \f2fileAttribute\f1, \f2linkAttribute\f1,
and \f2sockAttribute\f1 set the attributes of directories, files, links, and
sockets found in the directory list. 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 *activateCDKFselect (CDKFSELECT *\f2fselect\f1, chtype *\f2actions\f1);
.RS 3
This function activates the file selector widget and lets the user interact with the
widget. The parameter \f2fselect\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL file selector 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 *injectCDKFselect (CDKFSELECT *\f2fselect\f1, chtype \f2character\f1);
.RS 3
This function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter
\f2fselect\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL file selector. 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 moveCDKFselect (CDKFSELECT *\f2fselect\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, boolean \f2relative\f1, boolean \f2refresh\f1);

\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.

.SH KEY BINDINGS
When the widget is activated there are several default key bindings which will
help the user enter or manipulate the information quickly. Since this widget is
built from both the scrolling list widget and the entry field widget, the key

This widget is created from the scrolling list widget and the entry field
widget. This is a good example on how to build your own widgets using the
base widgets provided in this distribution. In order for you to delete
files using the file selector, you must add the following line of code
into your program. (the character X is the character you wish to use to
tell the file selector you want to delete a file.)
