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

       activateCDKUSlider
            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 unknownUnsigned value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).  The
            widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.

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

       drawCDKUSlider
            draws the slider widget on the screen.  If the box option  is  true,  the  widget  is
            drawn with a box.

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

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

       getCDKUSliderHighValue
            returns the high value of the slider widget.

       getCDKUSliderLowValue
            returns the low value of the slider widget.

       getCDKUSliderValue
            returns the current value of the widget.

       injectCDKUSlider
            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  unknownUnsigned  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  unknownUnsigned  value  (see  the  cdk_objs.h header file).  The
                   widget data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDKUSlider
            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.

       newCDKUSlider
            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.

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

       setCDKUSlider
            lets  the  programmer  modify  certain  elements  of  an existing slider widget.  The
            parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed  in  the  newCDKUSlider
            function.

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

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

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

       setCDKUSliderBoxAttribute
            function sets the attribute of the box.

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

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

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

       setCDKUSliderLowHigh
            sets the low and high values of the widget.

       setCDKUSliderPostProcess
            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).

       setCDKUSliderPreProcess
            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).

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

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

       setCDKUSliderValue
            sets the current value of the widget.

       setCDKUSliderVerticalChar
            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.
