.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk scale widget creates a scale box with a label and a scale field.
The following functions create or manipulate the Cdk scale box widget.
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
.TP 5
.B activateCDKScale
activates the scale widget and lets the user interact with the widget.
.RS
.bP
The parameter \fBscale\fR is a pointer to a non-NULL scale widget.
.bP
If the \fBactions\fR parameter is passed with a non-NULL value, the characters
in the array will be injected into the widget.
.IP
To activate the widget
interactively pass in a \fINULL\fR pointer for \fBactions\fR.
.IP
If the character entered
into this widget is \fIRETURN\fR or \fITAB\fR then this function will return a
value from the low value to the high value.
It will also set the widget data \fIexitType\fR to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
.IP
If the character entered into this
widget was \fIESCAPE\fR then the widget will return
the unknownInt value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).
.RE
.IP
The widget data \fIexitType\fR will be set to \fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR.
.TP 5
.B destroyCDKScale
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.
.TP 5
.B drawCDKScale
draws the scale widget on the screen.
.IP
If the \fBbox\fR parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.
.TP 5
.B eraseCDKScale
removes the widget from the screen.
This does \fINOT\fR destroy the widget.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScaleBox
returns whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScaleHighValue
returns the high value of the scale widget.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScaleLowValue
returns the low value of the scale widget.
.TP 5
.B getCDKScaleValue
returns the current value of the widget.
.TP 5
.B injectCDKScale
injects a single character into the widget.
.RS
.bP
The parameter \fBscale\fR is a pointer to a non-NULL scale widget.
.bP
The parameter \fBcharacter\fR is the character to inject into the widget.
.RE
.IP
The return value and side-effect (setting the widget data \fIexitType\fP)
depend upon the injected character:
.RS
.TP
\fIRETURN\fP or \fITAB\fR
the function returns
a value ranging from the scale's low value to the scale's high value.
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
.TP
\fIESCAPE\fP
the function returns
the unknownInt value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR.
.TP
Otherwise
unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings,
the function returns
the unknownInt value (see the cdk_objs.h header file).
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvEARLY_EXIT\fR.
.RE
.TP 5
.B moveCDKScale
moves the given widget to the given position.
.RS
.bP
The parameters \fBxpos\fR and \fBypos\fR are the new position of the widget.
.IP
The parameter \fBxpos\fR may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.IP
The parameter \fBypos\fR may be an integer
or one of the pre-defined values \fILEFT\fR, \fIRIGHT\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.bP
The parameter \fBrelative\fR states whether
the \fBxpos\fR/\fBypos\fR pair is a relative move or an absolute move.
.IP
For example,
if \fBxpos\fR = 1 and \fBypos\fR = 2 and \fBrelative\fR = \fBTRUE\fR,
then the widget would move one row down and two columns right.
If the value of \fBrelative\fR was \fBFALSE\fR,
then the widget would move to the position (1,2).
.IP
Do not use the values \fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, \fILEFT\fR,
\fIRIGHT\fR, or \fICENTER\fR when \fBrelative\fR = \fITRUE\fR.
(weird things may happen).
The final parameter \fBrefresh\fR is a boolean value which
states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.
.RE
.TP 5
.B newCDKScale
creates a pointer to a scale widget.
Parameters:
.RS
.TP 5
\fBscreen\fR
is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
.TP 5
\fBxpos\fR
controls the placement of the object along the horizontal axis.
It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fILEFT\fR, \fIRIGHT\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.TP 5
\fBypos\fR
controls the placement of the object along the vertical axis.
It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.TP 5
\fBtitle\fR
is the string to display at the top of the widget.

character at the line break.

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.
.TP 5
\fBcurrentValue\fR
is the value of the scale field when the widget is activated.
