Cdk has the ability to create user definable key bindings.
This ability makes Cdk more dynamic and usable for a wide
variety of tasks. The following section outlines the binding
functions, their use, and their purpose.
void bindCDKObject (EObjectType cdkType, void *object,
chtype key, BINDFN function, void *data);
This function creates a key binding between a specific
Cdk widget (object) given key (key). The parameter cdk-
Type is of type EObjectType which is one of the following
values.
EObjectType_Value Corresponding_Widget Widget_Manual_Page
vALPHALIST Alphalist Widget cdk_alphalist (3)
vCALENDAR Calendar Widget cdk_calendar (3)
vDIALOG Dialog Widget cdk_dialog (3)
vENTRY Entry Widget cdk_entry (3)
vFSELECT File Selector Widget cdk_fselect (3)
vGRAPH Graph Widget cdk_graph (3)
vHISTOGRAM Histogram Widget cdk_histogram (3)
vITEMLIST Item List Widget cdk_itemlist (3)
vLABEL Label Widget cdk_label (3)
vMARQUEE Marquee Widget cdk_marquee (3)
vMATRIX Matrix Widget cdk_matrix (3)
vMENTRY Multiple Line Entry Widget cdk_mentry (3)
vMENU Menu Widget cdk_menu (3)
vRADIO Radio List Widget cdk_radio (3)
vSCALE Numeric Scale Widget cdk_scale (3)
vSCROLL Scrolling List Widget cdk_scroll (3)
vSELECTION Selection List Widget cdk_selection (3)
vSLIDER Slider Widget cdk_slider (3)
vSWINDOW Scrolling Window Widget cdk_swindow (3)
vTEMPLATE Template Entry Widget cdk_template (3)
vVIEWER Viewer Widget cdk_viewer (3)
The parameter function is of type BINDFN which has
the following prototype:
void function (EObjectType cdktype, void *object, void
*clientData, chtype key);
The parameter data is a void * pointer to whatever
data the call-back function may need. The parameter
key is the key hit which triggered this call-back.
void unbindCDKObject (EObjectType cdkType, void
*object, chtype key);
This function removes a specific binding to an
object. The parameter names are the same as the
description of the function bindCDKObject.
int checkCDKObjectBind (EObjectType cdkType, void
*object, chtype key);
This function returns an integer value stating
whether the key key has been bound to the given widget,
object.
void cleanCDKObjectBindings (EObjectType cdkType, void
*object);
This function removes all user defined key bindings
from the given widget.
To help demonstrate how to use the key bindings I will
demonstrate a simple dialog box widget with help for each
button. The following code segment creates a dialog box
and a call-back function named dialogHelpCB.
