168 The Cdk radio widget creates a radio list. The following are functions
169 which create or manipulate the Cdk radio box widget.
170
172 activateCDKRadio
173 activates the radio widget and lets the user interact with the
174 widget. The parameter radio is a pointer to a non-NULL radio wid‐
175 get. If the actions parameter is passed with a non-NULL value,
176 the characters in the array will be injected into the widget. To
177 activate the widget interactively pass in a NULL pointer for
178 actions. If the character entered into this widget is RETURN or
179 TAB then this function will return a value from 0 to the number of
180 items -1, representing the item selected. It will also set the
181 widget data exitType to vNORMAL. If the character entered into
182 this widget was ESCAPE then the widget will return a value of -1
183 and the widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.
184 destroyCDKRadio
186 removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object
187 used.
188 drawCDKRadio
190 draws the radio widget on the screen. If the box parameter is
191 true, the widget is drawn with a box.
192 eraseCDKRadio
194 removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the
195 widget.
196 getCDKRadioBox
198 returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
199 getCDKRadioChoiceCharacter
201 returns the character being used to draw the selected element in
202 the list.
203 getCDKRadioCurrentItem
205 returns the index of the current item.
206 getCDKRadioHighlight
208 returns the attribute of the highlight bar.
209 getCDKRadioItems
211 copies the radio box items into the caller's list, which must be
212 large enough since this function does not allocate it. It returns
213 the list size.
214 getCDKRadioLeftBrace
216 returns the character being used to draw the left brace of the
217 selection box.
218 getCDKRadioRightBrace
220 returns the character being used to draw the right brace of the
221 selection box.
222 getCDKRadioSelectedItem,
224 returns the selected item of the widget.
225 injectCDKRadio
227 function injects a single character into the widget. The parame‐
228 ter radio is a pointer to a non-NULL radio widget. The parameter
229 character is the character to inject into the widget. The return
230 value and side-effect (setting the widget data exitType) depend
231 upon the injected character:
232 RETURN or TAB
234 the function returns a value ranging from zero to one less
235 than the number of items, representing the items selected.
236 The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.
237 ESCAPE the function returns -1. The widget data exitType is set
239 to vESCAPE_HIT.
240 Otherwise
242 unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key
243 bindings, the function returns -1. The widget data exit‐
244 Type is set to vEARLY_EXIT.
245 moveCDKRadio
247 moves the given widget to the given position. The parameters xpos
248 and ypos are the new position of the widget. The parameter xpos
249 may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM,
250 and CENTER. The parameter ypos may be an integer or one of the
251 pre-defined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. The parameter rela‐
252 tive states whether the xpos/ypos pair is a relative move or an
253 absolute move. For example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and relative
254 = TRUE, then the widget would move one row down and two columns
255 right. If the value of relative was FALSE then the widget would
256 move to the position (1,2). Do not use the values TOP, BOTTOM,
257 LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER when relative = TRUE. (weird things may
258 happen). The final parameter refresh is a boolean value which
259 states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.
260 newCDKRadio
262 creates a radio widget and returns a pointer to it. Parameters:
263 screen
265 is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
266 xpos controls the placement of the object along the horizontal
268 axis. It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
269 LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.
270 ypos controls the placement of the object along the vertical axis.
272 It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP,
273 BOTTOM, and CENTER.
274 spos tells where the scroll bar is to be placed. This may be one
276 of three values:
277 LEFT puts the scroll bar on the left of the scrolling list.
279 RIGHT
281 puts the scroll bar on the right side of the list, and
282 NONE does not add a scroll bar.
284 height and
286 width control the height and width of the widget. If you
287 provide a value of zero for either of the height or the
288 width, the widget will be created with the full width and
289 height of the screen. If you provide a negative value, the
290 widget will be created the full height or width minus the
291 value provided.
292 title
294 is the string which will be displayed at the top of the wid‐
295 get. The title can be more than one line; just provide a
296 carriage return character at the line break.
297 radioList
299 is the list of items to display in the radio list.
300 radioListLength
302 is the number of elements in the given list.
303 choiceCharacter
305 is the character to use to highlight the current selection.
306 highlight
308 specifies the display attribute of the currently selected
309 item.
310 defaultItem
312 is the index in the list of the default selection.
313 box is true if widget should be drawn with a box around it.
315 shadow
317 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.
318 If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is
320 returned.
321 positionCDKRadio
323 allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cur‐
324 sor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
325 setCDKRadio
327 lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing radio
328 widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter
329 names listed in the newCDKRadio function.
330 setCDKRadioBackgroundAttrib
332 sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter
333 attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
334 setCDKRadioBackgroundColor
336 sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is
337 in the format of the Cdk format strings. See cdk_display (3).
338 setCDKRadioBox
340 sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
341 setCDKRadioBoxAttribute
343 function sets the attribute of the box.
344 setCDKRadioChoiceCharacter
346 sets the character to use to draw the selected element in the
347 list.
348 setCDKRadioCurrentItem
350 sets the current item by its index in the list.
351 setCDKRadioHighlight
353 sets the attribute of the highlight bar.
354 setCDKRadioHorizontalChar
356 sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given
357 character.

369 character.
370 setCDKRadioLeftBrace
372 sets the character to use to draw the left brace of the selection
373 box.
374 setCDKRadioPostProcess
376 allows the user to have the widget call a function after the key
377 has been applied to the widget. The parameter function is the
378 callback function. The parameter data points to data passed to
379 the callback function. To learn more about post-processing see
380 cdk_process [4m(3).
381 setCDKRadioPreProcess
383 allows the user to have the widget call a function after a key is
384 hit and before the key is applied to the widget. The parameter
385 function is the callback function. The parameter data points to
386 data passed to the callback function. To learn more about pre-
387 processing see cdk_process [4m(3).

409 When the widget is activated there are several default key bindings
410 which will help the user enter or manipulate the information quickly.

412 get.
