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¶
- activateCDKSlider
- 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 unknownInt value (see the cdk_objs.h header file). The
widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.
- destroyCDKSlider
- removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the
object used.
- drawCDKSlider
- draws the slider widget on the screen. If the box
option is true, the widget is drawn with a box.
- eraseCDKSlider
- removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT
destroy the widget.
- getCDKSliderBox
- returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around
it.
- getCDKSliderHighValue
- returns the high value of the slider widget.
- getCDKSliderLowValue
- returns the low value of the slider widget.
- getCDKSliderValue
- returns the current value of the widget.
- injectCDKSlider
- 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 unknownInt 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 unknownInt value (see the cdk_objs.h
header file). The widget data exitType is set to
vEARLY_EXIT.
- moveCDKSlider
- 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.
- newCDKSlider
- 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.
- positionCDKSlider
- allows the user to move the widget around the screen via
the cursor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
- setCDKSlider
- lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing
slider widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names
listed in the newCDKSlider function.
- setCDKSliderBackgroundAttrib
- sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter
attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
- setCDKSliderBackgroundColor
- sets the background color of the widget. The parameter
color is in the format of the Cdk format strings. See
cdk_display (3).
- setCDKSliderBox
- sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around
it.
- setCDKSliderBoxAttribute
- function sets the attribute of the box.
- setCDKSliderHorizontalChar
- sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the
given character.
- setCDKSliderLLChar
- sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the
given character.
- setCDKSliderLRChar
- sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the
given character.
- setCDKSliderLowHigh
- sets the low and high values of the widget.
- setCDKSliderPostProcess
- 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).
- setCDKSliderPreProcess
- 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).
- setCDKSliderULChar
- sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the
given character.
- setCDKSliderURChar
- sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the
given character.
- setCDKSliderValue
- sets the current value of the widget.
- setCDKSliderVerticalChar
- sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the
given character.
KEY BINDINGS¶

Decrements the field by the accelerated decrement value. |
U |
Decrements the field by the accelerated decrement value. |
Ctrl-B |
Decrements the field by the accelerated decrement value. |
Next Page |
Increments the field by the accelerated increment value. |
D |
Increments the field by the accelerated increment value. |
Ctrl-F |
Increments the field by the accelerated increment value. |
Home |
Sets the value to the low value. |
g |
Sets the value to the low value. |
End |
Sets the value to the high value. |
