DESCRIPTION
     The  Cdk  scroll  widget creates a scrolling list.  The following are func-
     tions which create or manipulate the Cdk scrolling list widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
     activateCDKScroll
	  activates the scroll widget and lets the user interact with  the  wid-
	  get.

	  *   The parameter scroll points to a non-NULL scroll 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 0 to the number of	items-1,  repre-
	  senting  the item selected.  It will also set the widget data exitType
	  to vNORMAL.

	  If the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE, then the  widget
	  will	return a value of -1 and the widget data exitType will be set to
	  vESCAPE_HIT.

     addCDKScrollItem
	  allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.

	  *   The scroll parameter points to the scrolling list to add the  item
	      to.

	  *   The  parameter  item is a char * representing the new item to add.
	      The item is always added to the end of the list.

     deleteCDKScrollItem
	  allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.

	  *   The scroll parameter points to the scrolling list to add the  item
	      to.

	  *   The  parameter  f2position is an int which specifies which element
	      to remove.

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

     drawCDKScroll
	  draws the scroll widget on the screen.  If the box option is true, the
	  widget is drawn with a box.

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

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

     getCDKScrollCurrent
	  returns the current item's index.

	  This is deprecated because the name is inconsistent  with  other  wid-
	  gets: use getCDKScrollCurrentItem.

     getCDKScrollCurrentItem
	  returns the current item's index in the scroller.

     getCDKScrollHighlight
	  returns the attribute of the highlight bar.

     getCDKScrollCurrentTop
	  returns the top line of the scroller, counting from zero.

     getCDKScrollItems
	  optionally  copies  the  scrolling-list  items into the caller's list,
	  which must be large enough since this function does not  allocate  it.
	  If  the  list  parameter  is null, no copying is done.  It returns the
	  list size whether or not the list parameter is null.

     injectCDKScroll
	  injects a single character into the widget.

	  *   The parameter scroll points to a non-NULL scroll widget.

	  *   The parameter character is the character to inject into  the  wid-
	      get.

	  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 zero to one less than
		 the number of items, representing the item selected.  The  wid-
		 get data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

	  ESCAPE
		 the  function	returns  -1.  The widget data exitType is set to
		 vESCAPE_HIT.

	  Otherwise
		 unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or  key  bind-
		 ings, the function returns -1.  The widget data exitType is set
		 to vEARLY_EXIT.

     insertCDKScrollItem
	  allows the user to add an item into an existing scrolling list.

	  *   The  scroll parameter points to the scrolling list to add the item
	      to.

	  *   The parameter item is a char * representing the new item to add.

	  The item is always added before the current item in the list.

     moveCDKScroll
	  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 rel-
	      ative 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 po-
	      sition (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.

     newCDKScroll
	  creates a scroll widget and returns a pointer to it.	Parameters:

	  *   The screen parameter is the screen you  wish  this  widget  to  be
	      placed in.

	  *   The  parameter xpos controls the placement of the object along the
	      horizontal axis.	This parameter 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.
	      This  parameter  may be an integer value or one of the pre-defined
	      values TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.

	  *   spos is where the scroll bar is to be placed.  This may be one  of
	      three values:

	      LEFT,
		   which puts the scroll bar on the left of the scrolling list.

	      RIGHT
		   which puts the scroll bar on the right side of the list, and

	      NONE which does not add a scroll bar.

	  *   height and width control the height and width of the widget.

	      If  you  provide	a  value of zero for either of the height or the
	      width, the widget will be created with the full width  and  height
	      of  the  screen.	If you provide a negative value, the widget will
	      be created the full height or width minus the value provided.

	  *   title is the string which will be displayed at the top of the wid-
	      get.  The title can be more than one line; just provide a carriage
	      return character at the line break.

	  *   itemList is the list of items to be  displayed  in  the  scrolling
	      list.

	  *   items is the number of elements in the given list.

	  *   numbers is true if you want the items in the list to have a number
	      attached to the front of the list items.

	  *   highlight  specifies  the  display  attribute of the currently se-
	      lected item.

	  *   box is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.

	  *   shadow is true to turn the shadow on around this widget.

	  If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is returned.

     positionCDKScroll
	  allows the user to move the widget around  the  screen  via  the  cur-
	  sor/keypad keys.  See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.

     setCDKScroll

	  get.

	  The  parameter  names correspond to the same parameter names listed in
	  the newCDKScroll function.

     setCDKScrollPosition
	  sets the current item in the widget to the given position.

     setCDKScrollPostProcess
	  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).

     setCDKScrollPreProcess
