DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk  scale  widget  creates a scale box with a label and a scale
       field.  The following functions create or manipulate  the  Cdk  scale
       box widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKUScale
            activates  the  scale widget and lets the user interact with the
            widget.

            o   The parameter scale is a pointer to a non-NULL scale 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 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  will  return the unknownUnsigned value (see the
                cdk_objs.h header file).

            The widget data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

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

       drawCDKUScale
            draws the scale widget on the screen.

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

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

       getCDKUScaleBox
            returns whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       getCDKUScaleHighValue
            returns the high value of the scale widget.

       getCDKUScaleLowValue
            returns the low value of the scale widget.

       getCDKUScaleValue
            returns the current value of the widget.

       injectCDKUScale
            injects a single character into the widget.

            o   The parameter scale is a pointer to a non-NULL scale 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 the scale's low
                   value  to  the scale's high value.  The widget data exit-
                   Type is set to vNORMAL.

            ESCAPE the function returns the unknownUnsigned 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 unknownUnsigned value
                   (see the cdk_objs.h header file).  The widget data  exit-
                   Type is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

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

       newCDKUScale
            creates a pointer to a scale 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 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 scale field.

            fieldAttribute
                 is the attribute of the characters displayed 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 scale 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.

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

       setCDKUScale
            lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing scale
            widget.

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

       setCDKUScaleBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

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

       setCDKUScaleBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

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

            See cdk_display(3).

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

       setCDKUScaleBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

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

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

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

       setCDKUScaleLowHigh
            sets the low and high values of the widget.

       setCDKUScalePostProcess
            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).

       setCDKUScalePreProcess
            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.
