The following functions create or manipulate the Cdk itemlist widget. AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS activateCDKItemlist activates the itemlist widget and lets the user interact with the wid- get. * The parameter itemlist is a pointer to a non-NULL itemlist 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 buttons -1, representing the button selected. It will also set the widget data exitType to vNORMAL. If the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE then the wid- get will return a -1 and the widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT. destroyCDKItemlist removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used. drawCDKItemlist draws the itemlist widget on the screen. The box option is true if the widget is drawn with a box. drawCDKItemlistField draws the contents of the field. eraseCDKItemlist removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the widget. getCDKItemlistBox returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it. getCDKItemlistCurrentItem returns the index of the currently displayed item in the widget. getCDKItemlistDefaultItem returns the index of the default item in the widget. getCDKItemlistValues returns the list of pointers to the items. The parameter size points to a location which receives the item count. injectCDKItemlist injects a single character into the widget. * The parameter itemlist is a pointer to a non-NULL itemlist 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 buttons, representing the button se- lected. The widget 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 bindings, the function returns -1. The widget data exit- Type is set to vEARLY_EXIT. moveCDKItemlist 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. newCDKItemlist creates a pointer to an itemlist widget. 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 which will be displayed at the top of the widget. The title can be more than one line; just provide a carriage re- turn character at the line break. label is the string to use as the label of the itemlist field. itemList is the list of the strings which will be displayed in the widget. itemCount is the number of elements in the list. defaultItem is the index of the default item for the list. box is true if 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. positionCDKItemlist allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cur- sor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings. setCDKItemlist lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing itemlist widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the newCDKItemlist function. setCDKItemlistBackgroundAttrib the background color attribute the widget. The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD. setCDKItemlistBackgroundColor sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings. See cdk_display (3). setCDKItemlistBox sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it. setCDKItemlistBoxAttribute sets the attribute of the box. setCDKItemlistCurrentItem sets the currently displayed item in the widget. setCDKItemlistDefaultItem sets the default item in the widget. setCDKItemlistHorizontalChar sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given charac- ter. setCDKItemlistLLChar sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given char- acter. setCDKItemlistLRChar sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character. setCDKItemlistPostProcess 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). setCDKItemlistPreProcess 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). setCDKItemlistULChar sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given char- acter. setCDKItemlistURChar sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character. setCDKItemlistValues sets the contents of the list from an array of string pointers item whose final index is given by count. If defaultItem is in the range 0..count, that sets the default item value for the list. setCDKItemlistVerticalChar sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given charac- ter. 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 fol- lowing table outlines the keys and their actions for this widget. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Key Action | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Left Arrow | | Down Arrow | | - | | p Shift the list one column to the left. | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Right Arrow | | Up Arrow | | Space | | + | | n Shift the list one column to the right. | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | d | | D Display the default item. | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | 0 Display the first item in the list. | | $ Display the last item in the list. | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Return Exit the widget and return an integer | | representing the current selection. | | Also set the widget data exitType to | | vNORMAL. | | Tab Exit the widget and return an integer | | representing the current selection. | | Also set the widget data exitType to | | vNORMAL. | | Escape Exit the widget and return -1. Also | | set the widget data exitType to | | vESCAPE_HIT. | | Ctrl-L Refreshes the screen. | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ SEE ALSO cdk(3), cdk_binding(3), cdk_display(3), cdk_position(3), cdk_process(3), cdk_screen(3) 2025-01-14 cdk_itemlist(3)
