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.
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.
setCDKFSliderLowHigh
sets the low and high values of the widget.
setCDKFSliderPostProcess
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).
setCDKFSliderPreProcess
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).
setCDKFSliderULChar
sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
character.
setCDKFSliderURChar
sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the
given character.
setCDKFSliderValue
sets the current value of the widget.
setCDKFSliderVerticalChar
sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given
character.
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 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Down Arrow Decrements the field by the normal decrement |
| value. |
|Up Arrow Increments the field by the normal increment |
| value. |
|u Increments the field by the normal increment |
| value. |
|Prev Page Decrements the field by the accelerated decrement |
| value. |
|U Decrements the field by the accelerated decrement |
| value. |
|Ctrl-B Decrements the field by the accelerated decrement |
| value. |
|Next Page Increments the field by the accelerated increment |
| value. |
|D Increments the field by the accelerated increment |
| value. |
|Ctrl-F Increments the field by the accelerated increment |
| value. |
|Home Sets the value to the low value. |
|g Sets the value to the low value. |
|End Sets the value to the high value. |
|G Sets the value to the high value. |
|$ Sets the value to the high value. |
|Return Exits the widget and returns the current value. |
| This also sets the widget data exitType to vNOR- |
| MAL. |
|Tab Exits the widget and returns the current value. |
| This also sets the widget data exitType to vNOR- |
| MAL. |
|Escape Exits the widget and returns the unknownFloat |
| value (see the cdk_objs.h header file). This also |
| sets the widget data exitType to vESCAPE_HIT. |
|Ctrl-R Refreshes the screen. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
If the cursor is not pointing to the field's value, the following key
bindings apply. You may use the left/right arrows to move the cursor
onto the field's value and modify it by typing characters to replace
the digits and sign.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Key Action |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Left Arrow Decrements the scale by the normal value. |
|Right Arrow Increments the scale by the normal value. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
|d Decrements the scale by the normal value. |
|D Increments the scale by the accelerated value. |
