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

       activateCDKFSlider
            activates  the slider widget and lets the user interact with the
            widget.

            o   The parameter slider is a pointer to a non-NULL slider  wid-
                get.

            o   If  the  actions  parameter is passed with a non-NULL value,
                the characters in the array will be injected into  the  wid-
                get.

                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 unknownFloat value (see the cdk_objs.h header
            file).  The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.

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

       drawCDKFSlider
            draws  the  slider  widget  on the screen.  If the box option is
            true, the widget is drawn with a box.

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

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

       getCDKFSliderDigits
            returns  the  number of digits shown after the decimal point for
            the box value.

       getCDKFSliderHighValue
            returns the high value of the slider widget.

       getCDKFSliderLowValue
            returns the low value of the slider widget.

       getCDKFSliderValue
            returns the current value of the widget.

       injectCDKFSlider
            injects a single character into the widget.

            o   The parameter slider is a pointer to a non-NULL slider  wid-
                get.

            o   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 unknownFloat 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 unknownFloat  value  (see
            the cdk_objs.h header file).  The widget data exitType is set to
            vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDKFSlider
            moves the given widget to the given position.

            o   The parameters xpos and ypos are the  new  position  of  the
                widget.

                The  parameter  xpos may be an integer or one of the pre-de-
                fined values TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.

                The parameter ypos may be an integer or one of  the  pre-de-
                fined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.

            o   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).

            o   The final parameter refresh is a boolean value which  states
                whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.

       newCDKFSlider
            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 val-
                 ues 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 val-
                 ues TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.

            title
                 is the string to display at the top of the widget.  The ti-
                 tle  can be more than one line; just provide a carriage re-
                 turn 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  acti-
                 vated.

            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 re-
            turned.

       positionCDKFSlider
            allows the user to move the widget around  the  screen  via  the
            cursor/keypad keys.  See cdk_position(3) for key bindings.

       setCDKFSlider
            lets  the  programmer  modify  certain  elements  of an existing
            slider widget.  The parameter names correspond to the  same  pa-
            rameter names listed in the newCDKFSlider function.

       setCDKFSliderBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

            The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

       setCDKFSliderBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

            The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings.

            See cdk_display(3).

       setCDKFSliderBox
            sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       setCDKFSliderBoxAttribute
            function sets the attribute of the box.

       setCDKFSliderDigits
            sets  the number of digits shown after the decimal point for the
            box value.

       setCDKFSliderHorizontalChar
            sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to  the  given
            character.

       setCDKFSliderLLChar
            sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
            character.

       setCDKFSliderLRChar
            sets the lower right hand corner of  the  widget's  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 wid-
       get.
