DESCRIPTION
The Cdk viewer widget creates a file viewer widget. This widget allows 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. The parameter viewer is a pointer to a non-NULL viewer 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 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. 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.
