95 The Cdk marquee widget creates a pop-up marquee window. The following
96 functions create or manipulate the Cdk marquee widget.
97
99 activateCDKMarquee
100 activates the marquee widget. The marquee parameter is a pointer
101 to a defined marquee widget. The delay parameter states how long
102 to wait between movements. This value is highly dependent on each
103 machine the program runs on. The repeat value tells the marquee
104 widget how many times to display the given message. The box
105 option draws the widget with or without a box. This function
106 returns -1 if the message passed is NULL, 0 otherwise.
107 deactivateCDKMarquee
109 deactivates the marquee widget.
110 destroyCDKMarquee
112 removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object
113 used.
114 drawCDKMarquee
116 draws the marquee widget on the screen. If the box parameter is
117 true, the widget is drawn with a box.
118 eraseCDKMarquee
120 removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the
121 widget.
122 getCDKMarqueeBox
124 returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
125 moveCDKMarquee
127 moves the given widget to the given position. The parameters xpos
128 and ypos are the new position of the widget. The parameter xpos
129 may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM,
130 and CENTER. The parameter ypos may be an integer or one of the
131 pre-defined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. The parameter rela‐
132 tive states whether the xpos/ypos pair is a relative move or an
133 absolute move. For example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and relative
134 = TRUE, then the widget would move one row down and two columns
135 right. If the value of relative was FALSE then the widget would
136 move to the position (1,2). Do not use the values TOP, BOTTOM,
137 LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER when relative = TRUE. (weird things may
138 happen). The final parameter refresh is a boolean value which
139 states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.
140 newCDKMarquee
142 creates a marquee widget and returns a pointer to it. Parameters:
143 screen
145 is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
146 xpos controls the placement of the object along the horizontal
148 axis. It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
149 LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.
150 ypos controls the placement of the object along the vertical axis.
152 It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP,
153 BOTTOM, and CENTER.
154 width
156 controls the width of the field. If you provide a value of
157 zero for the width, the widget uses the width of the screen.
158 If a negative value is provided, then the widget uses the
159 width of the screen less the value provided.
160 shadow
162 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.
163 If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is
165 returned.
166 positionCDKMarquee
168 allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cur‐
169 sor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
170 setCDKMarqueeBackgroundAttrib
172 sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter
173 attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
174 setCDKMarqueeBackgroundColor
176 sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is
177 in the format of the Cdk format strings. For more information see
178 cdk_display [4m(3).
179 setCDKMarqueeBox
181 sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
182 setCDKMarqueeBoxAttribute
184 sets the attribute of the box.
185 setCDKMarqueeHorizontalChar
187 sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given
188 character.
189 setCDKMarqueeLLChar
191 sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
192 character.
193 setCDKMarqueeLRChar
195 sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given
196 character.
197 setCDKMarqueeULChar
199 sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
200 character.
201 setCDKMarqueeURChar
203 sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given
204 character.

208 acter.
