.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The Cdk entry widget creates an entry box with a label and an entry field. The
|
|
following are functions which create or manipulate the Cdk entry box widget.
|
|
|
|
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
|
|
CDKENTRY *newCDKEntry (CDKSCREEN *\f2screen\f1, int \f2xpos\f1, int \f2ypos\f1, char *\f2title\f1, char *\f2label\f1, chtype \f2fieldAttribute\f1, chtype \f2fillerCharacter\f1, EDisplayType \f2displayType\f1, int \f2fieldWidth\f1, int \f2minimumLength\f1, int \f2maximumLength\f1, boolean \f2box\f1, boolean \f2shadow\f1);
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
This function creates a pointer to an entry 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 entry field. The \f2fieldAttribute\f1 is
|
|
the attribute of the characters to be displayed when they are typed in.
|
|
\f2filler\f1 is the character which is to be displayed in an empty space in
|
|
the entry field. The parameter \f2displayType\f1 tells how the entry field
|
|
will behave when a character is entered into the field. The following table
|
|
outlines valid values for this field and what they mean:

The \f2fieldWidth\f1 parameter states how wide the field will be. If a value
|
|
of zero is provided, the field will be made as wide as possible on the
|
|
screen. If a negative value is given, then the field width will be the
|
|
maximum width minus the value provided. The parameter \f2minimumLength\f1
|
|
states how many characters have to be entered before the user can exit the
|
|
entry field. The \f2maximumLength\f1 parameter sets the maximum number of
|
|
characters that can be entered. 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.

char *activateCDKEntry (CDKENTRY *\f2entry\f1, chtype *\f2actions\f1);
|

.RS 3
|
|
This function activates the entry widget and lets the user interact with the
|
|
widget. The parameter \f2entry\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL entry 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.

char *injectCDKEntry (CDKENTRY *\f2entry\f1, chtype \f2character\f1);
|

.RS 3
|
|
This function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter
|
|
\f2entry\f1 is a pointer to a non-NULL entry. 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.

|
|
This function lets the programmer modify certain elements of an already defined

entry widget. The \f2value\f1 parameter sets the value of the contents of the

.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.
