DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  scale  widget creates a scale box with a label and a scale field.  The following
       functions create or manipulate the Cdk scale box widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDK<MIXED>
            activates the scale widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

            •   The parameter scale is a pointer to a non-NULL scale 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 the low value to the high value.  It will also  set  the
                widget data exitType to vNORMAL.

                If  the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE then the widget will return
                the unknown<DTYPE> value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).

            The widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

       destroyCDK<MIXED>
            removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.

       drawCDK<MIXED>
            draws the scale widget on the screen.

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

       eraseCDK<MIXED>
            removes the widget from the screen.  This does NOT destroy the widget.

       getCDK<MIXED>Box
            returns whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.  #if <FLOAT>

       getCDK<MIXED>Digits
            returns the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the box value.  #endif
            <FLOAT>

       getCDK<MIXED>HighValue
            returns the high value of the scale widget.

       getCDK<MIXED>LowValue
            returns the low value of the scale widget.

       getCDK<MIXED>Value
            returns the current value of the widget.

       injectCDK<MIXED>
            injects a single character into the widget.

            •   The parameter scale is a pointer to a non-NULL scale 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
                   the function returns a value ranging from the scale's low value to the scale's
                   high value.  The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

            ESCAPE the  function  returns  the  unknown<DTYPE>  value  (see the cdk_objs.h header
                   file).  The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.

            Otherwise
                   unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings, the function
                   returns the unknown<DTYPE> value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).  The widget
                   data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDK<MIXED>
            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.

       newCDK<MIXED>
            creates a pointer to a scale widget.  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.

            title
                 is  the  string to display at the top of the widget.  The title can be more than
                 one line; just provide a carriage return character at the line break.

            label
                 is the string to display in the label of the scale field.

            fieldAttribute
                 is the attribute of the characters displayed in the field.

            fieldWidth
                 controls the width of the widget.  If you provide a value  of  zero  the  widget
                 will  be  created  with the full width of the screen.  If you provide a negative
                 value, the widget will be created the full width minus the value provided.

            currentValue
                 is the value of the scale field when the widget is activated.

            lowValue and

            highValue
                 are the low and high values of the widget respectively.

            increment
                 is the regular increment value

            fastIncrement
                 is the accelerated increment value.

            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.

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

       setCDK<MIXED>
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing scale widget.

            The   parameter   names  correspond  to  the  same  parameter  names  listed  in  the
            newCDK<MIXED> function.

       setCDK<MIXED>BackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

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

       setCDK<MIXED>BackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

            The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings.

            See cdk_display (3).

       setCDK<MIXED>Box
            sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       setCDK<MIXED>BoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.  #if <FLOAT>

       setCDK<MIXED>Digits
            sets the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the  box  value.   #endif
            <FLOAT>

       setCDK<MIXED>HorizontalChar
            sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character.

       setCDK<MIXED>LLChar
            sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDK<MIXED>LRChar
            sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDK<MIXED>LowHigh
            sets the low and high values of the widget.

       setCDK<MIXED>PostProcess
            allows  the user to have the widget call a function after the key has been applied to
            the widget.

            •   The parameter function is the callback function.

            •   The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function.

            To learn more about post-processing see cdk_process (3).

       setCDK<MIXED>PreProcess
            allows the user to have the widget call a function after a key is hit and before  the
            key is applied to the widget.

            •   The parameter function is the callback function.

            •   The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function.

            To learn more about pre-processing see cdk_process (3).

       setCDK<MIXED>ULChar
            sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDK<MIXED>URChar
            sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

       setCDK<MIXED>Value
            sets the current value of the widget.

       setCDK<MIXED>VerticalChar
            sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given character.

KEY BINDINGS

       When  the  widget  is activated there are several default key bindings which will help the
       user enter or manipulate the information quickly.  The following table outlines  the  keys
       and their actions for this widget.
