DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  label  widget  creates a pop-up label window.  The following functions create or
       manipulate the Cdk label widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKLabel
            obsolete entrypoint which calls drawCDKLabel.

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

       drawCDKLabel
            draws the label widget on the screen.  If the box parameter is true,  the  widget  is
            drawn with a box.

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

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

       getCDKLabelMessage
            returns  the  contents of the label widget.  The parameter messageLines points to the
            location which will be given the number of message-lines.

       moveCDKLabel
            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.

       newCDKLabel
            creates a label 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.

            message
                 is  the  message  to  be  displayed  in  the  window.  It may contain any of the
                 standard Cdk display format commands.  To learn more about this see  cdk_display
                 (3).

            rows is the number of message rows that were passed in the message parameter.

            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.

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

       setCDKLabel
            allows the user to change the contents of the label widget.  The parameters  are  the
            same as the newCDKLabel.

       setCDKLabelBackgroundAttrib
            sets  the  background  attribute  of the widget.  The parameter attribute is a curses
            attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

       setCDKLabelBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.  The parameter color is in the format of the
            Cdk format strings.  For more information see cdk_display (3).

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

       setCDKLabelBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

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

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

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

       setCDKLabelMessage
            This sets the contents of the label widget.

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

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

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

       waitCDKLabel
            waits  for  a  user  to  press  a key.  The label parameter is the pointer to a label
            widget, and key is the key to wait for.  If no specific key is desired, use (char)0.
