DESCRIPTION
     The Cdk calendar widget creates a pop-up calendar.  The calendar widget al-
     lows the user to traverse through months/years using the cursor keys.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
     activateCDKCalendar
	  activates the calendar widget and lets the user interact with the wid-
	  get.

	  *   The calendar widget is a pointer to a non-NULL calendar 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 then this
	      function will return a type of time_t.

	  *   The time_t type is used in the functions	defined  in  the  time.h
	      header file.  (see localtime or ctime for more information).

	  If  the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE or TAB then this
	  function will return a value of (time_t)-1 and the widget  data  exit-
	  Type will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

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

     drawCDKCalendar
	  draws the label widget on the screen.

	  If the box parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.

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

     getCDKCalendarBox
	  returns whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

     getCDKCalendarDate
	  returns the current date the calendar is displaying.

     getCDKCalendarDayAttribute
	  returns the attribute of the day attribute of the calendar.

     getCDKCalendarHighlight
	  returns  the attribute of the highlight bar of the scrolling list por-
	  tion of the widget.

     getCDKCalendarMarker
	  returns the marker set on the calendar by setCDKCalendarMarker.

     getCDKCalendarMonthAttribute
	  returns the attribute of the month attribute of the calendar.

     getCDKCalendarYearAttribute
	  returns the attribute of the year attribute of the calendar.

     injectCDKCalendar
	  injects a single character into the widget.

	  *   The parameter calendar is a pointer to a non-NULL calendar 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 of type time_t (see  localtime  or
		 ctime	for  more information).  The widget data exitType is set
		 to vNORMAL.

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

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

     moveCDKCalendar
	  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.

     newCDKCalendar
	  creates a calendar 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 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.

	  year,

	  month and

	  day
	       set the initial date of the calendar.

	  yearAttrib,

	  monthAttrib and

	  dayAttrib
	       represent the attributes of the	year,  month,  and  day  respec-
	       tively.

	  highlight
	       sets the highlight of the currently selected day.

	  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.

     positionCDKCalendar

	  sor/keypad keys.  See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.

     removeCDKCalendarMarker
	  removes a marker from the calendar.

     setCDKCalendar
	  lets the programmer modify certain elements of  an  existing	calendar
	  widget.

	  *   The  other  parameter names correspond to the same parameter names
	      listed in the newCDKCalendar function.
