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
activateCDK<MIXED>
activates the slider widget and lets the user interact with the widget. The parameter slider is a pointer to a non-NULL slider wid-
get. 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 unknown<DTYPE> value (see the cdk_objs.h header file). The
widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.
destroyCDK<MIXED>
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.
drawCDK<MIXED>
draws the slider widget on the screen. If the box option is true, the widget is drawn with a box.
eraseCDK<MIXED>
removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the widget.
getCDK<MIXED>Box
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it. #if <FLOAT>
getCDK<MIXED>Digits
returns the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the box value. #endif <FLOAT>
getCDK<MIXED>HighValue
returns the high value of the slider widget.
getCDK<MIXED>LowValue
returns the low value of the slider widget.
getCDK<MIXED>Value
returns the current value of the widget.
injectCDK<MIXED>
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 unknown<DTYPE> 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 unknown<DTYPE> value (see the
cdk_objs.h header file). The widget data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.
moveCDK<MIXED>
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 wid-
get will get refreshed after the move.
newCDK<MIXED>
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.
positionCDK<MIXED>
allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cursor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
setCDK<MIXED>
lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing slider widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names
listed in the newCDK<MIXED> function.
setCDK<MIXED>BackgroundAttrib
sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
setCDK<MIXED>BackgroundColor
sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings. See cdk_display (3).
setCDK<MIXED>Box
sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
setCDK<MIXED>BoxAttribute
function sets the attribute of the box. #if <FLOAT>
setCDK<MIXED>Digits
sets the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the box value. #endif <FLOAT>
setCDK<MIXED>HorizontalChar
sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character.
setCDK<MIXED>LLChar
sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
setCDK<MIXED>LRChar
sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
setCDK<MIXED>LowHigh
sets the low and high values of the widget.
setCDK<MIXED>PostProcess
allows the user to have the widget call a function after the key has been applied to the widget. The parameter function is the call-
back function. The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function. To learn more about post-processing see
cdk_process (3).
setCDK<MIXED>PreProcess
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-pro-
cessing see cdk_process (3).
setCDK<MIXED>ULChar
sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
setCDK<MIXED>URChar
sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
setCDK<MIXED>Value
sets the current value of the widget.
setCDK<MIXED>VerticalChar
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.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Key Action |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Down Arrow Decrements the field by the normal decrement |
| value. |
|Up Arrow Increments the field by the normal increment |
| value. |
|u Increments the field by the normal increment |
| value. |
|Prev Page 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. |
|G Sets the value to the high value. |
|$ Sets the value to the high value. |
|Return Exits the widget and returns the current value. |
| This also sets the widget data exitType to vNOR- |
| MAL. |
|Tab Exits the widget and returns the current value. |
| This also sets the widget data exitType to vNOR- |
| MAL. |
|Escape Exits the widget and returns the unknown<DTYPE> |
| value (see the cdk_objs.h header file). This also |
| sets the widget data exitType to vESCAPE_HIT. |
|Ctrl-R Refreshes the screen. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
If the cursor is not pointing to the field's value, the following key bindings apply. You may use the left/right arrows to move the cursor
onto the field's value and modify it by typing characters to replace the digits and sign.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Key Action |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Left Arrow Decrements the scale by the normal value. |
|Right Arrow Increments the scale by the normal value. |
