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

            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-
