136 The Cdk slider widget creates a visual slider box with a label and a
137 slider field. The following are functions which create or manipulate
138 the Cdk slider box widget.
139
141 activateCDKSlider
142 activates the slider widget and lets the user interact with the
143 widget. The parameter slider is a pointer to a non-NULL slider
144 widget. If the actions parameter is passed with a non-NULL value,
145 the characters in the array will be injected into the widget. To
146 activate the widget interactively pass in a NULL pointer for
147 actions. If the character entered into this widget is RETURN or
148 TAB then this function will return a value from the low value to
149 the high value. It will also set the widget data exitType to
150 vNORMAL. If the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE
151 then the widget returns the unknownInt value (see the cdk_objs.h
152 header file). The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.
153 destroyCDKSlider
155 removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object
156 used.
157 drawCDKSlider
159 draws the slider widget on the screen. If the box option is true,
160 the widget is drawn with a box.
161 eraseCDKSlider
163 removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the
164 widget.
165 getCDKSliderBox
167 returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
168 getCDKSliderHighValue
170 returns the high value of the slider widget.
171 getCDKSliderLowValue
173 returns the low value of the slider widget.
174 getCDKSliderValue
176 returns the current value of the widget.
177 injectCDKSlider
179 injects a single character into the widget. The parameter slider
180 is a pointer to a non-NULL slider widget. The parameter character
181 is the character to inject into the widget. The return value and
182 side-effect (setting the widget data exitType) depend upon the
183 injected character:
184 RETURN or TAB
186 the function returns a value ranging from the slider's low
187 value to the slider's high value. The widget data exitType
188 is set to vNORMAL.
189 ESCAPE the function returns the unknownInt value (see the
191 cdk_objs.h header file). The widget data exitType is set
192 to vESCAPE_HIT.
193 Otherwise
195 unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key
196 bindings, the function returns the unknownInt value (see
197 the cdk_objs.h header file). The widget data exitType is
198 set to vEARLY_EXIT.
199 moveCDKSlider
201 moves the given widget to the given position. The parameters xpos
202 and ypos are the new position of the widget. The parameter xpos
203 may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM,
204 and CENTER. The parameter ypos may be an integer or one of the
205 pre-defined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. The parameter rela‐
206 tive states whether the xpos/ypos pair is a relative move or an
207 absolute move. For example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and relative
208 = TRUE, then the widget would move one row down and two columns
209 right. If the value of relative was FALSE then the widget would
210 move to the position (1,2). Do not use the values TOP, BOTTOM,
211 LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER when relative = TRUE. (weird things may
212 happen). The final parameter refresh is a boolean value which
213 states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.
214 newCDKSlider
216 function creates a slider widget and returns a pointer to it..
217 Parameters:
218 screen
220 is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
221 xpos controls the placement of the object along the horizontal
223 axis. It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
224 LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.
225 ypos controls the placement of the object along the vertical axis.
227 It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP,
228 BOTTOM, and CENTER.
229 title
231 is the string to display at the top of the widget. The title
232 can be more than one line; just provide a carriage return
233 character at the line break.
234 label
236 is the string to display in the label of the slider field.
237 fillerCharacter
239 is the character to be used to draw the slider bar in the
240 field.
241 fieldWidth
243 controls the width of the widget. If you provide a value of
244 zero the widget will be created with the full width of the
245 screen. If you provide a negative value, the widget will be
246 created the full width minus the value provided.
247 currentValue
249 is the value of the slider field when the widget is acti‐
250 vated.
251 lowValue and
253 highValue
255 are the low and high values of the widget respectively.
256 increment
258 is the regular increment value
259 fastIncrement
261 is the accelerated increment value.
262 box is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.
264 shadow
266 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.
267 If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is
269 returned.
270 positionCDKSlider
272 allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cur‐
273 sor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
274 setCDKSlider
276 lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing slider
277 widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter
278 names listed in the newCDKSlider function.
279 setCDKSliderBackgroundAttrib
281 sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter
282 attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
283 setCDKSliderBackgroundColor
285 sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is
286 in the format of the Cdk format strings. See cdk_display (3).
287 setCDKSliderBox
289 sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
290 setCDKSliderBoxAttribute
292 function sets the attribute of the box.
293 setCDKSliderHorizontalChar
295 sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given
296 character.
297 setCDKSliderLLChar
299 sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
300 character.
301 setCDKSliderLRChar
303 sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given
304 character.
305 setCDKSliderLowHigh
307 sets the low and high values of the widget.
308 setCDKSliderPostProcess
310 allows the user to have the widget call a function after the key
311 has been applied to the widget. The parameter function is the
312 callback function. The parameter data points to data passed to
313 the callback function. To learn more about post-processing see
314 cdk_process [4m(3).
315 setCDKSliderPreProcess
317 allows the user to have the widget call a function after a key is
318 hit and before the key is applied to the widget. The parameter
319 function is the callback function. The parameter data points to
320 data passed to the callback function. To learn more about pre-
321 processing see cdk_process [4m(3).
322 setCDKSliderULChar
324 sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
325 character.
326 setCDKSliderURChar
328 sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given
329 character.
330 setCDKSliderValue
332 sets the current value of the widget.
333 setCDKSliderVerticalChar
335 sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given char‐
336 acter.
