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).

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

       setCDKCalendarBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

       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"

       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

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

       setCDKCalendarMarker
            allows the user to set a marker which will be displayed when the month is drawn.  The
            marker  parameter  is the attribute to use when drawing the marker.  If more than one
            marker is set on a single day, then the day  will  blink  with  the  original  marker
            attribute.

       setCDKCalendarMonthAttribute
            sets the attribute of the month in the calendar.

       setCDKCalendarMonthsNames
            sets the names of the months of the year.  The parameter is a 13-element array (since
            indexing starts with 1).  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).

       setCDKCalendarPreProcess
            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).

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