DESCRIPTION

       The Cdk buttonbox widget creates a buttonbox box with a message and a
       varied number of buttons to choose  from.   The  following  functions
       create or manipulate the Cdk buttonbox box widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKButtonbox
            activates  the  buttonbox widget and lets the user interact with
            the widget.

            o   The parameter buttonbox is a pointer to a non-NULL buttonbox
                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.

                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 but-
            tons -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
            widget will return a value of -1 and the  widget  data  exitType
            will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

       destroyCDKButtonbox
            removes  the  widget from the screen and releases any memory the
            object used.

       drawCDKButtonbox
            draws the buttonbox widget on the screen.

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

       drawCDKButtonboxButtons
            draws the buttons.

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

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

       getCDKButtonboxButtonCount
            returns the number of buttons in the button box.

       getCDKButtonboxCurrentButton
            returns the current button-number.

       getCDKButtonboxHighlight
            returns the highlight attribute of the widget.

       injectCDKButtonbox
            injects a single character into the widget.

            o   The parameter buttonbox is a pointer to a non-NULL buttonbox
                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 buttons, representing the button
                   selected.  The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

            ESCAPE the function returns -1.  vESCAPE_HIT.  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.

       moveCDKButtonbox
            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.

       newCDKButtonbox
            creates a pointer to a buttonbox 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 val-
                 ues LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER.

            ypos controls the placement of the  object  along  the  vertical
                 axis.   It  be  an  integer value or one of the pre-defined
                 values TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.

            height and

            width
                 control the height and width of the widget.

            title
                 is the title of the widget.

            rows is the number of rows of buttons.

            cols sets the number of columns.

            box  is true if the widget should be drawn with a box around it.

            shadow
                 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

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.
