DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  radio widget creates a radio list.  The following are func-
       tions which create or manipulate the Cdk radio box widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKRadio
            activates the radio widget and lets the user interact  with  the
            widget.

            o   The parameter radio is a pointer to a non-NULL radio widget.

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

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

       drawCDKRadio
            draws the radio widget on the screen.

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

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

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

       getCDKRadioChoiceCharacter
            returns the character being used to draw the selected element in
            the list.

       getCDKRadioCurrentItem
            returns the index of the current item.

       getCDKRadioHighlight
            returns the attribute of the highlight bar.

       getCDKRadioItems
            optionally copies the radio-box 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.

       getCDKRadioLeftBrace
            returns  the  character being used to draw the left brace of the
            selection box.

       getCDKRadioRightBrace
            returns the character being used to draw the right brace of  the
            selection box.

       getCDKRadioSelectedItem
            returns the selected item of the widget.

       injectCDKRadio
            function injects a single character into the widget.

            o   The parameter radio is a pointer to a non-NULL radio widget.

            o   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 items 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.

       moveCDKRadio
            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.

       newCDKRadio
            creates a radio 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.

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

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

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

                 NONE 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.

            radioList
                 is the list of items to display in the radio list.

            radioListLength
                 is the number of elements in the given list.

            choiceCharacter
                 is the character to use to highlight the current selection.

            highlight
                 specifies  the  display attribute of the currently selected
                 item.

            defaultItem
                 is the index in the list of the default selection.

            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  re-
            turned.

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

       setCDKRadio
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing radio
            widget.

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

       setCDKRadioBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

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

       setCDKRadioBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

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

            See cdk_display(3).

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

       setCDKRadioBoxAttribute
            function sets the attribute of the box.

       setCDKRadioChoiceCharacter
            sets the character to use to draw the selected  element  in  the
            list.

       setCDKRadioCurrentItem
            sets the current item by its index in the list.

       setCDKRadioHighlight
            sets the attribute of the highlight bar.

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

       setCDKRadioItems
            set the radio list items and display the  result.   The  current
            item  is  set  to the beginning of the list.  The previous radio
            list items stored in the widget are freed.

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

       setCDKRadioLRChar
            sets  the  lower  right  hand  corner of the widget's box to the
            given character.

       setCDKRadioLeftBrace
            sets the character to use to draw the left brace of  the  selec-
            tion box.

       setCDKRadioPostProcess
            allows the user to have the widget call a function after the key
            has been applied to the widget.

            o   The parameter function is the callback function.

            o   The parameter data points to data  passed  to  the  callback
                function.

            To learn more about post-processing see cdk_process(3).

       setCDKRadioPreProcess
            allows  the  user to have the widget call a function after a key
            is hit and before the key is applied to the widget.

            o   The parameter function is the callback function.

            o   The parameter data points to data  passed  to  the  callback
                function.

            To learn more about pre-processing see cdk_process(3).

       setCDKRadioRightBrace
