DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  itemlist  widget  creates  a widget which allows a user to select from a list of
       preset character strings such as the days of the week or the  months  of  the  year.   The
       following functions create or manipulate the Cdk itemlist widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKItemlist
            activates  the  itemlist  widget  and  lets  the  user interact with the widget.  The
            parameter itemlist is a pointer to  a  non-NULL  itemlist  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 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  -1  and
            the widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

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

       drawCDKItemlist
            draws  the  itemlist  widget  on the screen.  The box option is true if the widget is
            drawn with a box.

       drawCDKItemlistField
            draws the contents of the field.

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

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

       getCDKItemlistCurrentItem
            returns the index of the currently displayed item in the widget.

       getCDKItemlistDefaultItem
            returns the index of the default item in the widget.

       getCDKItemlistValues
            returns the list of pointers to the items.  The parameter size points to  a  location
            which receives the item count.

       injectCDKItemlist
            injects a single character into the widget.  The parameter itemlist is a pointer to a
            non-NULL itemlist 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 zero to one less than the number  of
                   buttons, representing the button selected.  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.

       moveCDKItemlist
            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.

       newCDKItemlist
            creates a pointer to an itemlist widget.  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.

            label
                 is the string to use as the label of the itemlist field.

            itemList
                 is the list of the strings which will be displayed in the widget.

            itemCount
                 is the number of elements in the list.

            defaultItem
                 is the index of the default item for the list.

            box  is true if 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.

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

       setCDKItemlist
            lets  the  programmer  modify  certain  elements of an existing itemlist widget.  The
            parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in  the  newCDKItemlist
            function.

       setCDKItemlistBackgroundAttrib
            the  background  color  attribute  the  widget.   The parameter attribute is a curses
            attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

       setCDKItemlistBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.  The parameter color is in the format of the
            Cdk format strings.  See cdk_display (3).

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

       setCDKItemlistBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

       setCDKItemlistCurrentItem
            sets the currently displayed item in the widget.

       setCDKItemlistDefaultItem
            sets the default item in the widget.

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

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

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

       setCDKItemlistPostProcess
            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).

       setCDKItemlistPreProcess
            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).

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

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

       setCDKItemlistValues
            sets the contents of the list from an array of string pointers item whose final index
            is given by count.  If defaultItem is in the range 0..count, that  sets  the  default
            item value for the list.

       setCDKItemlistVerticalChar
            sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given character.

KEY BINDINGS
