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
activateCDKFSlider
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
unknownFloat value (see the cdk_objs.h header file). The widget data exitType is set
to vESCAPE_HIT.
destroyCDKFSlider
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.
drawCDKFSlider
draws the slider widget on the screen. If the box option is true, the widget is
drawn with a box.
eraseCDKFSlider
removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the widget.
getCDKFSliderBox
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
getCDKFSliderDigits
returns the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the box value.
getCDKFSliderHighValue
returns the high value of the slider widget.
getCDKFSliderLowValue
returns the low value of the slider widget.
getCDKFSliderValue
returns the current value of the widget.
injectCDKFSlider
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 unknownFloat 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 unknownFloat value (see the cdk_objs.h header file). The widget
data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.
moveCDKFSlider
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.
newCDKFSlider
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.
positionCDKFSlider
allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cursor/keypad keys. See
cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
setCDKFSlider
lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing slider widget. The
parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the newCDKFSlider
function.
setCDKFSliderBackgroundAttrib
sets the background attribute of the widget.
The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
setCDKFSliderBackgroundColor
sets the background color of the widget.
The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings.
See cdk_display (3).
setCDKFSliderBox
sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
setCDKFSliderBoxAttribute
function sets the attribute of the box.
setCDKFSliderDigits
sets the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the box value.
setCDKFSliderHorizontalChar
sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character.
setCDKFSliderLLChar
sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
setCDKFSliderLRChar
sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
setCDKFSliderLowHigh
sets the low and high values of the widget.
setCDKFSliderPostProcess
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).
setCDKFSliderPreProcess
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).
setCDKFSliderULChar
sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
setCDKFSliderURChar
sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
setCDKFSliderValue
sets the current value of the widget.
setCDKFSliderVerticalChar
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.

│ value. │
│Home Sets the value to the low value. │
│g Sets the value to the low value. │

│ vNORMAL. │
│Tab Exits the widget and returns the current value. │
│ This also sets the widget data exitType to │
│ vNORMAL. │
│Escape Exits the widget and returns the unknownFloat │
│ value (see the cdk_objs.h header file). This also │
│ sets the widget data exitType to vESCAPE_HIT. │
│Ctrl-R Refreshes the screen. │
