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

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. IP 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.
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object used.
draws the radio widget on the screen.
If the box parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.
removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the widget.
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
returns the character being used to draw the selected element in the list.
returns the index of the current item.
returns the attribute of the highlight bar.
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.
returns the character being used to draw the left brace of the selection box.
returns the character being used to draw the right brace of the selection box.
returns the selected item of the widget.
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:
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.
the function returns -1. The widget data exitType is set to vESCAPE_HIT.
unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings, the function returns -1. The widget data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.
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.
creates a radio widget and returns a pointer to it. Parameters:
is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
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.
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.
tells where the scroll bar is to be placed. This may be one of three values:
puts the scroll bar on the left of the scrolling list.
puts the scroll bar on the right side of the list, and
does not add a scroll bar.
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.
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.
is the list of items to display in the radio list.
is the number of elements in the given list.
is the character to use to highlight the current selection.
specifies the display attribute of the currently selected item.
is the index in the list of the default selection.
is true if widget should be drawn with a box around it.
turns the shadow on or off around this widget.
If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is returned.
allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the cursor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
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.
sets the background attribute of the widget.
The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
sets the background color of the widget.
The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings.
See cdk_display (3).
sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
function sets the attribute of the box.
sets the character to use to draw the selected element in the list.
sets the current item by its index in the list.
sets the attribute of the highlight bar.
sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given character.
set the radio list items and display the result. The current item is set to the beginning of the list.
sets the lower left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
sets the lower right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
sets the character to use to draw the left brace of the selection box.
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).
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).
sets the character to use to draw the right brace of the selection box.
sets the selected item.
function sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
function sets the upper right hand corner of the widget's box to the given character.
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.

Right Arrow Shifts the whole list right one character.
Up Arrow Selects the next item up in the list.
Down Arrow Selects the next item down in the list.

End Move to the last element in the list.
$ Shifts the whole list to the far right.
| Shifts the whole list to the far left.
Space Selects or deselects the current choice.
Return Exits the widget and returns the index of the selected item. This also sets the widget data exitType to vNORMAL.
Tab Exit the widget and return the index of the selected item. Set the widget data exitType to vNORMAL.
Escape Exit the widget and return -1. Set the widget data exitType to vESCAPE_HIT.
Ctrl-L Refreshes the screen.
