184 The Cdk calendar widget creates a pop-up calendar. The calendar widget
185 allows the user to traverse through months/years using the cursor keys.
186
188 activateCDKCalendar
189 activates the calendar widget and lets the user interact with the
190 widget. The calendar widget is a pointer to a non-NULL calendar
191 widget. If the actions parameter is passed with a non-NULL value,
192 the characters in the array will be injected into the widget. To
193 activate the widget interactively pass in a NULL pointer for
194 actions. If the character entered into this widget is RETURN then
195 this function will return a type of time_t. The time_t type is
196 used in the functions defined in the time.h header file. (see
197 localtime or ctime for more information). If the character
198 entered into this widget was ESCAPE or TAB then this function will
199 return a value of (time_t)-1 and the widget data exitType will be
200 set to vESCAPE_HIT.
201 destroyCDKCalendar
203 removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object
204 used.
205 drawCDKCalendar
207 draws the label widget on the screen. If the box parameter is
208 true, the widget is drawn with a box.
209 eraseCDKCalendar
211 removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the
212 widget.
213 getCDKCalendarBox
215 returns whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
216 getCDKCalendarDate
218 returns the current date the calendar is displaying.
219 getCDKCalendarDayAttribute
221 returns the attribute of the day attribute of the calendar.
222 getCDKCalendarHighlight
224 returns the attribute of the highlight bar of the scrolling list
225 portion of the widget.
226 getCDKCalendarMarker
228 returns the marker set on the calendar by setCDKCalendarMarker.
229 getCDKCalendarMonthAttribute
231 returns the attribute of the month attribute of the calendar.
232 getCDKCalendarYearAttribute
234 returns the attribute of the year attribute of the calendar.
235 injectCDKCalendar
237 injects a single character into the widget. The parameter calen‐
238 dar is a pointer to a non-NULL calendar widget. The parameter
239 character is the character to inject into the widget. The return
240 value and side-effect (setting the widget data exitType) depend
241 upon the injected character:
242 RETURN or TAB
244 the function returns a value of type time_t (see localtime
245 or ctime for more information). The widget data exitType
246 is set to vNORMAL.
247 ESCAPE the function returns (time_t)-1. The widget data exitType
249 is set to vESCAPE_HIT.
250 Otherwise
252 unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key
253 bindings, the function returns (time_t)-1. The widget data
254 exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.
255 moveCDKCalendar
257 moves the given widget to the given position. The parameters xpos
258 and ypos are the new position of the widget. The parameter xpos
259 may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM,
260 and CENTER. The parameter ypos may be an integer or one of the
261 pre-defined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. The parameter rela‐
262 tive states whether the xpos/ypos pair is a relative move or an
263 absolute move. For example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and relative
264 = TRUE, then the widget would move one row down and two columns
265 right. If the value of relative was FALSE then the widget would
266 move to the position (1,2). Do not use the values TOP, BOTTOM,
267 LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER when relative = TRUE. (weird things may
268 happen). The final parameter refresh is a boolean value which
269 states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.
270 newCDKCalendar
272 creates a calendar widget and returns a pointer to it. Parame‐
273 ters:
274 screen
276 is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
277 xpos controls the placement of the object along the horizontal
279 axis. It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
280 LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.
281 ypos controls the placement of the object along the vertical axis.
283 It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP,
284 BOTTOM, and CENTER.
285 title
287 is the string which will be displayed at the top of the wid‐
288 get. The title can be more than one line; just provide a
289 carriage return character at the line break.
290 year,
292 month and
294 day
296 set the initial date of the calendar.
297 yearAttrib,
299 monthAttrib and
301 dayAttrib
303 represent the attributes of the year, month, and day respec‐
304 tively.
305 highlight
307 sets the highlight of the currently selected day.
308 box is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.
310 shadow
312 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.
313 If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is
315 returned.
316 positionCDKCalendar
318 allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cur‐
319 sor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
320 removeCDKCalendarMarker
322 removes a marker from the calendar.
323 setCDKCalendar
325 lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing calen‐
326 dar widget. The calendar parameter represents an existing calen‐
327 dar pointer. The other parameter names correspond to the same
328 parameter names listed in the newCDKCalendar function.
329 setCDKCalendarBackgroundAttrib
331 sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter
332 attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
333 setCDKCalendarBackgroundColor
335 sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is
336 in the format of the Cdk format strings. See cdk_display (3).
337 setCDKCalendarBox
339 sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
340 setCDKCalendarBoxAttribute
342 sets the attribute of the box.
343 setCDKCalendarDate
345 sets the calendar to the given date. If the value of the day,
346 month, or year parameters is -1 then the current day, month, or
347 year is used to set the date.
348 setCDKCalendarDayAttribute
350 sets the attribute of the day in the calendar.
351 setCDKCalendarDaysNames
353 sets the names of the days of the week. The parameter is a string
354 listing the 2-character abbreviations for the days. The default
355 value is
356 "Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa"
357 setCDKCalendarHighlight
359 sets the attribute of the highlight bar of the scrolling list por‐
360 tion of the widget.
361 setCDKCalendarHorizontalChar
363 sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given
364 character.
365 setCDKCalendarLLChar
367 sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
368 character.
369 setCDKCalendarLRChar
371 sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given
372 character.
373 setCDKCalendarMarker
375 allows the user to set a marker which will be displayed when the
376 month is drawn. The marker parameter is the attribute to use when
377 drawing the marker. If more than one marker is set on a single
378 day, then the day will blink with the original marker attribute.
379 setCDKCalendarMonthAttribute
381 sets the attribute of the month in the calendar.
382 setCDKCalendarMonthsNames
384 sets the names of the months of the year. The parameter is a

386 ues are the English month names, e.g., "January".
387 setCDKCalendarPostProcess
389 allows the user to have the widget call a function after the key
390 has been applied to the widget. The parameter function is the
391 callback function. The parameter data points to data passed to
392 the callback function. To learn more about post-processing see
393 cdk_process [4m(3).
394 setCDKCalendarPreProcess
396 allows the user to have the widget call a function after a key is
397 hit and before the key is applied to the widget. The parameter
398 function is the callback function. The parameter data points to
399 data passed to the callback function. To learn more about pre-
400 processing see cdk_process [4m(3).

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

421 get.
