DESCRIPTION

       The  Cdk viewer widget creates a file viewer widget.  This widget al-
       lows a user to interact with a file.  It does NOT allow editing, this
       is view only.  The following are functions which create or manipulate
       the Cdk viewer list widget.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKViewer
            activates the viewer widget and lets the user interact with  the
            widget.

            o   The  parameter viewer is a pointer to a non-NULL viewer 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 then this
            function will return a value from 0 to the number of buttons -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.

       cleanCDKViewer
            clears the information from the window.

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

       drawCDKViewer
            draws  the  viewer  widget  on the screen.  If the box option is
            true, the widget is drawn with a box.

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

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

       getCDKViewerHighlight
            returns the attribute of the buttons.

       getCDKViewerInfo
            returns the contents of the viewer widget.

       getCDKViewerInfoLine
            returns true if the information line is on.

       getCDKViewerTitle
            returns the title of the widget.

       moveCDKViewer
            function 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.

       *newCDKViewer
            function creates a viewer 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.

            height and

            width
                 are the height and width of the viewer window.

            buttons
                 is  an  array of the button labels which are to be attached
                 to the viewer on the bottom.

                 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

            turned.

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

       setCDKViewer
            lets  the  programmer  modify  several  elements  of an existing
            viewer widget.

            o   title is the title to be displayed on the top of the viewer.

            o   list is the information to display,

            o   listSize states how many rows there are in the  list  array.
                If listSize is negative, list is scanned to find its length,
                including files which will be included via embedded links.

            o   buttonAttribute states the attribute of  the  current  high-
                lighted button.

            o   The  boolean  parameter interpret tells the viewer to inter-
