The Cdk radio widget creates a radio list. The following are functions which create or manipulate the Cdk radio box widget.

activateCDKRadio

activates the radio widget and lets the user interact with the widget. The parameter radio is a pointer to a non-NULL radio widget. If the actions parameter is passed with a non-NULL value, the characters in the array will be injected into the widget. 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 items -1, representing the item 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.

destroyCDKRadio

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

drawCDKRadio

draws the radio widget on the screen. If the box parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.

eraseCDKRadio

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

getCDKRadioBox

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

getCDKRadioChoiceCharacter

returns the character being used to draw the selected element in the list.

getCDKRadioCurrentItem

returns the index of the current item.

getCDKRadioHighlight

returns the attribute of the highlight bar.

getCDKRadioItems

copies the radio box items into the caller's list, which must be large enough since this function does not allocate it. It returns the list size.

getCDKRadioLeftBrace

returns the character being used to draw the left brace of the selection box.

getCDKRadioRightBrace

returns the character being used to draw the right brace of the selection box.

getCDKRadioSelectedItem,

returns the selected item of the widget.

injectCDKRadio

function injects a single character into the widget. The parameter radio is a pointer to a non-NULL radio widget. 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 zero to one less than the number of items, representing the items selected. The widget data exitType is set to vNORMAL.

ESCAPE

the function returns -1. 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 exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

moveCDKRadio

moves the given widget to the given position. The parameters xpos and ypos are the new position of the widget. The parameter xpos may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER. The parameter ypos may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. 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.

newCDKRadio

creates a radio 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 values 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 values TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.

spos

tells where the scroll bar is to be placed. This may be one of three values:

LEFT

puts the scroll bar on the left of the scrolling list.

RIGHT

puts the scroll bar on the right side of the list, and

NONE

does not add a scroll bar.

height and

width control the height and width of the widget. If you provide a value of zero for either of the height or the width, the widget will be created with the full width and height of the screen. If you provide a negative value, the widget will be created the full height or width minus the value provided.

title

is the string which will be displayed at the top of the widget. The title can be more than one line; just provide a carriage return character at the line break.

radioList

is the list of items to display in the radio list.

radioListLength

is the number of elements in the given list.

choiceCharacter

is the character to use to highlight the current selection.

highlight

specifies the display attribute of the currently selected item.

defaultItem

is the index in the list of the default selection.

box

is true if 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 returned.

positionCDKRadio

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

setCDKRadio

lets the programmer modify certain elements of an existing radio widget. The parameter names correspond to the same parameter names listed in the newCDKRadio function.

setCDKRadioBackgroundAttrib

sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

setCDKRadioBackgroundColor

sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings. See cdk_display (3).

setCDKRadioBox

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

setCDKRadioBoxAttribute

function sets the attribute of the box.

setCDKRadioChoiceCharacter

sets the character to use to draw the selected element in the list.

setCDKRadioCurrentItem

sets the current item by its index in the list.

setCDKRadioHighlight

sets the attribute of the highlight bar.

setCDKRadioHorizontalChar

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

setCDKRadioItems

set the radio list items and display the result. The current item is set to the beginning of the list.

setCDKRadioLLChar

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

setCDKRadioLRChar

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

setCDKRadioLeftBrace

sets the character to use to draw the left brace of the selection box.

setCDKRadioPostProcess

allows the user to have the widget call a function after the key has been applied to the widget. The parameter function is the callback function. The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function. To learn more about post-processing see cdk_process (3).

setCDKRadioPreProcess

allows the user to have the widget call a function after a key is hit and before the key is applied to the widget. The parameter function is the callback function. The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function. To learn more about pre-processing see cdk_process (3).

setCDKRadioRightBrace

sets the character to use to draw the right brace of the selection box.

setCDKRadioSelectedItem

sets the selected item.

setCDKRadioULChar

function sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

setCDKRadioURChar

function sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.

setCDKRadioVerticalChar

function 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 widget.

cdk(3), cdk_binding(3), cdk_display(3), cdk_position(3), cdk_screen(3)
