DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  slider  widget creates a visual slider box with a label and a slider field.  The
       following are functions which create or manipulate the Cdk slider box widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKSlider
            activates the slider widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

            •   The parameter slider is a pointer to a non-NULL slider 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 returns the
            unknownInt value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).  The widget data exitType  is  set
            to vESCAPE_HIT.

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

       drawCDKSlider
            draws  the  slider  widget  on  the screen.  If the box option is true, the widget is
            drawn with a box.

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

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

       getCDKSliderHighValue
            returns the high value of the slider widget.

       getCDKSliderLowValue
            returns the low value of the slider widget.

       getCDKSliderValue
            returns the current value of the widget.

       injectCDKSlider
            injects a single character into the widget.

            •   The parameter slider is a pointer to a non-NULL slider 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 slider's low value to the
                       slider's high value.  The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

                ESCAPE the function returns the  unknownInt  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 unknownInt value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).   The  widget
            data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDKSlider
            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.

       newCDKSlider
            function creates a slider 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 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 slider field.

            fillerCharacter
                 is the character to be used to draw the slider bar 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 slider 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.

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

       setCDKSlider
            lets the programmer modify certain  elements  of  an  existing  slider  widget.   The
            parameter  names  correspond  to  the same parameter names listed in the newCDKSlider
            function.

       setCDKSliderBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

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

       setCDKSliderBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

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

            See cdk_display (3).

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

       setCDKSliderBoxAttribute
            function sets the attribute of the box.

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

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

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

       setCDKSliderLowHigh
            sets the low and high values of the widget.

       setCDKSliderPostProcess
            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).

       setCDKSliderPreProcess
            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).

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

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

       setCDKSliderValue
            sets the current value of the widget.

       setCDKSliderVerticalChar
            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.
