DESCRIPTION

       The Cdk calendar widget creates a pop-up calendar.  The calendar widget allows the user to
       traverse through months/years using the cursor keys.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKCalendar
            activates the calendar widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

            •   The calendar widget is a pointer to a non-NULL calendar 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 then this function will
                return a type of time_t.

            •   The time_t type is used in the functions defined in the time.h header file.  (see
                localtime or ctime for more information).

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

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

       drawCDKCalendar
            draws the label widget on the screen.

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

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

       getCDKCalendarBox
            returns whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       getCDKCalendarDate
            returns the current date the calendar is displaying.

       getCDKCalendarDayAttribute
            returns the attribute of the day attribute of the calendar.

       getCDKCalendarHighlight
            returns the attribute of the highlight bar of  the  scrolling  list  portion  of  the
            widget.

       getCDKCalendarMarker
            returns the marker set on the calendar by setCDKCalendarMarker.

       getCDKCalendarMonthAttribute
            returns the attribute of the month attribute of the calendar.

       getCDKCalendarYearAttribute
            returns the attribute of the year attribute of the calendar.

       injectCDKCalendar
            injects a single character into the widget.

            •   The parameter calendar is a pointer to a non-NULL calendar 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 of type time_t (see localtime or ctime  for  more
                   information).  The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

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

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

       moveCDKCalendar
            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.

       newCDKCalendar
            creates a calendar 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.

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

            year,

            month and

            day
                 set the initial date of the calendar.

            yearAttrib,

            monthAttrib and

            dayAttrib
                 represent the attributes of the year, month, and day respectively.

            highlight
                 sets the highlight of the currently selected day.

            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.

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

       removeCDKCalendarMarker
            removes a marker from the calendar.

       setCDKCalendar
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing calendar widget.

            •   The calendar parameter represents an existing calendar pointer.

            •   The  other  parameter  names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the
                newCDKCalendar function.

       setCDKCalendarBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

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

       setCDKCalendarBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

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

            See cdk_display (3).

       setCDKCalendarDate
            sets the calendar to the given date.

            If the value of the day, month, or year parameters is -1 then the current day, month,
            or year is used to set the date.

       setCDKCalendarDayAttribute
            sets the attribute of the day in the calendar.

       setCDKCalendarDaysNames
            sets the names of the days of the week.

            The parameter is a string listing the 2-character abbreviations for the days.

            The default value is
            "Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa"

            "Su"  (Sunday) is numbered zero internally, making it by default the first day of the

            Monday would be 1, Tuesday 2, etc.

       setCDKCalendarHighlight
            sets the attribute of the highlight bar of the scrolling list portion of the widget.

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

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

            sets the attribute of the month in the calendar.

       setCDKCalendarMonthsNames
            sets the names of the months of the year.

            The default values are the English month names, e.g., "January".

       setCDKCalendarPostProcess
            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).

            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).

       user enter or manipulate the information quickly.  The following table outlines  the  keys
       and their actions for this widget.
