DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  button  widget  displays  a message string and executes a callback when the user
       presses enter or space.  As such, it is only useful on a screen that is being  managed  by
       some  external  screen  traversal  engine such as traverseCDKScreen().  The button will be
       highlighted when the widget has the focus.  The following functions create  or  manipulate
       the Cdk button widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKButton
            activates the button widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

            •   The parameter button is a pointer to a non-NULL button widget.

            •   If  the  actions 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 NULL pointer for actions.

            If the character entered into this widget is RETURN or TAB then  this  function  will
            return  a value from 0 to the number of buttons -1, representing the button selected.
            It will also set the widget data exitType to vNORMAL.

            If the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE then the widget  will  return  a
            value of -1 and the widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

       destroyCDKButton
            removes the widget from the screen and frees up any memory the object used.

       drawCDKButton
            draws the button widget on the screen.

            If the box parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.

       eraseCDKButton
            removes the widget from the screen.  This does NOT destroy the widget.

       getCDKButtonBox
            returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       getCDKButtonMessage
            returns the contents of the button widget.

       injectCDKButton
            injects a single character into the widget.

            •   The parameter button is a pointer to a non-NULL button widget.

            •   The parameter character is the character to inject into the widget.

            The  return  value and side-effect (setting the widget data exitType) depend upon the
            injected character:

            RETURN or TAB
                   this function returns 0, representing the button selected.   The  widget  data
                   exitType is set to vNORMAL.

            ESCAPE the function returns -1.  The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.

            Otherwise
                   unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings, the function
                   returns -1.  The widget data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDKButton
            moves the given widget to the given position.

            •   The parameters xpos and ypos are the new position of the widget.

                The parameter xpos may be an integer  or  one  of  the  pre-defined  values  TOP,
                BOTTOM, and CENTER.

                The  parameter  ypos  may  be  an  integer or one of the pre-defined values LEFT,
                RIGHT, and CENTER.

                The parameter relative states whether the xpos/ypos pair is a relative move or an
                absolute move.

                For  example, if xpos = 1 and ypos = 2 and relative = TRUE, then the widget would
                move one row down and two columns right.  If the value of relative was FALSE then
                the widget would move to the position (1,2).

                Do  not  use the values TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER when relative = TRUE.
                (weird things may happen).

            •   The final parameter refresh is a boolean value which states  whether  the  widget
                will get refreshed after the move.

       newCDKButton
            creates a pointer to a buttonbox widget.  Parameters:

            •   The screen parameter is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.

            •   xpos  controls  the placement of the object along the horizontal axis.  It may be
                an integer or one of the pre-defined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.

            •   ypos controls the placement of the object along the  vertical  axis.   It  be  an
                integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.

            •   message is the message to display in the button window, formatted as described in
                cdk_display.

            •   callback is an optional pointer to a callback function that will be executed when
                the user activates the button by pressing space or enter.

            •   box is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.

            •   shadow turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

            If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is returned.

       positionCDKButton
            allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cursor/keypad keys.  See
            cdk_position (3) for key bindings.

       setCDKButton
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing buttonbox widget.

            The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the newCDKButton
            function.

       setCDKButtonBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

            The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

       setCDKButtonBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

            The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings.  (See cdk_display).

       setCDKButtonBox
            sets true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       setCDKButtonBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

       setCDKButtonHorizontalChar
            sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character.

       setCDKButtonLLChar
            sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDKButtonLRChar
            sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDKButtonMessage
            This sets the contents of the label widget.

       setCDKButtonULChar
            sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDKButtonURChar
            sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDKButtonVerticalChar
            sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given character.

BUGS

       Changing the Box attribute after the widget has been created probably does not work right.
       None of the positioning/movement code has been tested.
