DESCRIPTION

       The Cdk marquee widget creates a pop-up marquee window.  The following functions create or
       manipulate the Cdk marquee widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKMarquee
            activates the marquee widget.

            •   The marquee parameter is a pointer to a defined marquee widget.

            •   The delay parameter states how long to wait between  movements.   This  value  is
                highly dependent on each machine the program runs on.

            •   The  repeat  value  tells  the marquee widget how many times to display the given
                message.

            •   The box option draws the widget with or without a box.  This function returns  -1
                if the message passed is NULL, 0 otherwise.

       deactivateCDKMarquee
            deactivates the marquee widget.

       destroyCDKMarquee
            removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.

       drawCDKMarquee
            draws  the marquee widget on the screen.  If the box parameter is true, the widget is
            drawn with a box.

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

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

       moveCDKMarquee
            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.

       newCDKMarquee
            creates a marquee widget and returns a pointer to it.  Parameters:

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

            width
                 controls  the width of the field.  If you provide a value of zero for the width,
                 the widget uses the width of the screen.  If a negative value is provided,  then
                 the widget uses the width of the screen less the value provided.

            shadow
                 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

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

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

       setCDKMarqueeBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.  The parameter  attribute  is  a  curses
            attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

       setCDKMarqueeBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.  The parameter color is in the format of the
            Cdk format strings.  For more information see cdk_display (3).

       setCDKMarqueeBox
            sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       setCDKMarqueeBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

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

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

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

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

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

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