DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk scrolling window (swindow) widget can be used to display messages.  The following
       functions create or manipulate the Cdk swindow box widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKSwindow
            function activates the swindow widget and lets the user interact with the widget.

            •   The parameter swindow is a pointer to a non-NULL swindow 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 1.  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.

       addCDKSwindow
            adds information to a scrolling window.

            •   The   information  is  supplied  by  the  info  parameter.   The  information  is
                immediately added to the scrolling window.

            •   The position of the new information is governed by the  value  of  the  parameter
                insertPosition.  This parameter may be two values: TOP or BOTTOM.

       cleanCDKSwindow
            clears the information from the window.

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

       drawCDKSwindow
            draws the swindow widget on the screen.

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

       dumpCDKSwindow
            saves  the  contents  of the scrolling window into the file specified by the filename
            parameter.  It returns -1 on failure, and the number of lines saved if the  dump  was
            successful.

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

       execCDKSwindow
            allows  the  user to execute a shell command and have the output of the shell command
            direct itself to the scrolling window.

            •   The command parameter is the command to execute.

            •   The insertPosition parameter tells where the output will be inserted  within  the
                scrolling window.

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

       getCDKSwindowContents
            returns the contents of the scrolling window.

            The parameter lines will be set to the number of lines returned.

       injectCDKSwindow
            injects a single character into the widget.

            •   The parameter swindow is a pointer to a non-NULL swindow 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 1.  The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

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

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

       jumpToLineCDKSwindow
            moves the scrolling window to the given line.

            The  parameter  line  may  be  an integer or one of the two predefined values TOP and
            BOTTOM.

       loadCDKSwindowInformation
            allows the user to load the contents of a  file  into  the  scrolling  window.   This
            function is interactive, and will ask for a filename.

       moveCDKSwindow
            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.

       newCDKSwindow
            creates a swindow 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
                 control the height and width of the widget.  If you provide a value of zero  for
                 either  of  the  height  or  the width, the widget will be created with the full
                 width and height of the screen.  If you provide a  negative  value,  the  widget
                 will be created the full height or width minus the value provided.

            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.

            saveLines
                 is the number of lines to save before throwing information away.

            box  is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.

            The shadow
                 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

            If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is returned.

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

       saveCDKSwindowInformation
            allows  the  user  to  save  the  contents of the scrolling window into a file.  This
            function is interactive, and will ask for a filename.

       setCDKSwindow
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing swindow widget.

            •   The parameter info is a char ** of  the  information  to  set  in  the  scrolling
                window; lines is the number of lines being added.

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

       setCDKSwindowBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

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

       setCDKSwindowBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

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

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

       setCDKSwindowBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

       setCDKSwindowContents
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing swindow widget.

            •   The parameter info is a char ** of  the  information  to  set  in  the  scrolling
                window.

            •   lines is the number of lines being added.

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

            •   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).

       setCDKSwindowPreProcess
            allows the user to have the widget call a function after a key is hit and before  the
            key is applied to the widget.

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.
