The following are functions which create or manipulate the Cdk scrolling list widget. AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS activateCDKScroll activates the scroll widget and lets the user interact with the widget. • 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, representing 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 ele- ment 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 widgets: 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 re- turns 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 widget. The return value and side-effect (setting the widget data exit- Type) 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 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. 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 wid- get. 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. 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 widget. 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 re- turned. 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 lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing scroll widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the newCDKScroll function. setCDKScrollBackgroundAttrib sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD. setCDKScrollBackgroundColor sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings. See cdk_display (3). setCDKScrollBox sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it. setCDKScrollBoxAttribute sets the attribute of the box. setCDKScrollCurrent sets the index for the current item. setCDKScrollCurrentItem set the current item number in the scroller. setCDKScrollCurrentTop set the top line number of the scroller. setCDKScrollHighlight sets the attribute of the highlight bar. setCDKScrollHorizontalChar sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character. setCDKScrollItems sets the contents of the scrolling list. The previous contents of the scrolling list stored in the widget are freed. setCDKScrollLLChar sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character. setCDKScrollLRChar sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character. 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 func- tion. To learn more about post-processing see cdk_process(3). setCDKScrollPreProcess 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 func- tion. To learn more about pre-processing see cdk_process(3). setCDKScrollULChar sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character. setCDKScrollURChar sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character. setCDKScrollVerticalChar sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given char- acter. 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 wid- get. +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Key Action | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Left Arrow Shift the list left one column. | | Right Arrow Shift the list right one column. | | Up Arrow Select the previous item in the list. | | Down Arrow Select the next item in the list. | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Prev Page | | Ctrl-B Scroll one page backward. | | Next Page | | Ctrl-F Scroll one page forward. | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | 1 | | < | | g | | Home Move to the first element in the list. | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | > | | G | | End Move to the last element in the list. | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | $ Shift the list to the far right. | | | Shift the list to the far left. | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Return Exit the widget and return the index | | of the selected item. Also set the | | widget data exitType to vNORMAL. | | Tab Exit the widget and return the index | | of the selected item. 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_screen(3) 2025-01-14 cdk_scroll(3)
