DESCRIPTION
The Cdk viewer widget creates a file viewer widget. This widget allows a user to interact with a file.
It does NOT allow editing, this is view only. The following are functions which create or manipulate the
Cdk viewer list widget.
AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
activateCDKViewer
activates the viewer widget and lets the user interact with the widget.
• The parameter viewer is a pointer to a non-NULL viewer 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 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.
cleanCDKViewer
clears the information from the window.
destroyCDKViewer
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.
drawCDKViewer
draws the viewer widget on the screen. If the box option is true, the widget is drawn with a box.
eraseCDKViewer
removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the widget.
getCDKViewerBox
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
getCDKViewerHighlight
returns the attribute of the buttons.
getCDKViewerInfo
returns the contents of the viewer widget.
getCDKViewerInfoLine
returns true if the information line is on.
getCDKViewerTitle
returns the title of the widget.
moveCDKViewer
function 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.
*newCDKViewer
function creates a viewer 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.
height and
width
are the height and width of the viewer window.
buttons
is an array of the button labels which are to be attached to the viewer on the bottom.
buttonCount

(3) for key bindings.
setCDKViewer
lets the programmer modify several elements of an existing viewer widget.
• title is the title to be displayed on the top of the viewer.
• list is the information to display,
• listSize states how many rows there are in the list array. If listSize is negative, list is
scanned to find its length, including files which will be included via embedded links.
• buttonAttribute states the attribute of the current highlighted button.
• The boolean parameter interpret tells the viewer to interpret the contents of list for Cdk
display command.
• The showLineInfo boolean flag tells the viewer to show to show the line number and percentage in
the top left corner of the viewer window.
• The parameters box and shadow are the same as in the function description of newCDKViewer.
setCDKViewerBackgroundAttrib
