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.
CDKVIEWER *newCDKViewer (CDKSCREEN *screen, int xpos, int
ypos, int height, int width, char **buttons, int button-
Count, chtype buttonHighlight, boolean box, boolean
shadow);
This function creates a pointer to a viewer widget. The
screen parameter is the screen you wish this widget to
be placed in. The parameter xpos controls the placement
of the object along the horizontal axis. This parameter
can accept an integer value or one of the pre-defined
values of LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER. The parameter ypos
controls the placement of the object along the vertical
axis. This parameter can accept an integer value or one
of the pre-defined values of TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.
The parameters height and width state how tall and wide
the viewer window is to be. The buttons is an array of
the button labels which are to be attached to the
viewer on the bottom; buttonCount tells the viewer how
many buttons there are. The parameter buttonHighlight
is the highlight attribute of the currently selected
button. The box parameter states whether the widget
will be drawn with a box around it or not. The shadow
parameter accepts a boolean value to turn the shadow on
or off around this widget. If the widget could not be
created then a NULL pointer is returned.
int activateCDKViewer (CDKVIEWER *viewer);
This function 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 structure member
exitType to vNORMAL. If the character entered into this
widget was ESCAPE then the widget will return a value
of -1 and the structure member exitType will be set to
vESCAPE_HIT.
void setCDKViewer (CDKVIEWER *viewer, char *title, char
**info, int infoSize, chtype buttonAttribute, boolean
interpret, boolean showLineInfo, boolean box);
This function lets the programmer modify certain elements
of an already defined viewer widget. The parameter
title is the title to be displayed on the top of
the viewer. The parameter info is the information to
display, while infoSize states how many rows there are
in the info array. The parameter buttonAttribute
states the attribute of the current highlighted button.
The boolean parameter interpret tells the viewer to
interpret the contents of info for Cdk display command,
or not. The showLineInfo boolean flag tells the viewer
to show or not to show the line number and percentage
in the top left corner of the viewer window. The parameters
box and shadow are the same as in the function
description of newCDKViewer.
int setCDKViewerInfo (CDKVIEWER *viewer, char **info, int
infoSize, boolean interpret);
This sets the contents of the viewer widget.
chtype **getCDKViewerInfo (CDKVIEWER *viewer, int *size);
This returns the contents of the viewer widget.
void setCDKViewerTitle (CDKVIEWER *viewer, char *title);
This sets the title of the widget.
chtype **getCDKViewerTitle (CDKVIEWER *viewer);
This returns the title of the widget.
void setCDKViewerHighlight (CDKVIEWER *viewer, chtype but-
tonHighlight);
This sets the highlight attribute of the buttons on the
widget.
chtype getCDKViewerHighlight (CDKVIEWER *viewer);
This returns the attribute of the buttons.
void setCDKViewerInfoLine (CDKVIEWER *viewer, boolean
showLineInfo);
This turns on/off the information line in the top left
hand corner of the widget. If the value of showInfoLine
is TRUE, the information line will be displayed. If it
is FALSE it won't.
boolean getCDKViewerInfoLine (CDKVIEWER *viewer);
This returns a boolena value stating if the information
line is on or off.
void setCDKViewerBox (CDKVIEWER *viewer, boolean Box);
This sets whether or not the widget will be draw with a
box around it.
boolean getCDKViewerBox (CDKVIEWER *viewer);
This returns whether or not the widget will be drawn
with a box around it.
void setCDKViewerULChar (CDKVIEWER *viewer, chtype
character);
This function sets the upper left hand corner of the
widgets box to the given character.
void setCDKViewerURChar (CDKVIEWER *viewer, chtype charac-
ter);
This function sets the upper right hand corner of the
widgets box to the given character.
void setCDKViewerLLChar (CDKVIEWER *viewer, chtype charac-
ter);
This function sets the lower left hand corner of the
widgets box to the given character.
void setCDKViewerLRChar (CDKVIEWER *viewer, chtype charac-
ter);
This function sets the lower right hand corner of the
widgets box to the given character.
void setCDKViewerVerticalChar (CDKVIEWER *viewer, chtype
character);
This function sets the vertical drawing character for
the box to the given character.
void setCDKViewerHorizontalChar (CDKVIEWER *viewer, chtype
character);
This function sets the horizontal drawing character for
the box to the given character.
void setCDKViewerBoxAttribute (CDKVIEWER *viewer, chtype
attribute);
This function sets the attribute of the box.
void setCDKViewerBackgroundColor (CDKVIEWER *viewer, char
*color);
This sets the background color of the widget. The
parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format
strings. To get more information look at the cdk_dis-
play manual page.
void moveCDKViewer (CDKVIEWEE *viewer, int xpos, int ypos,
boolean relative, boolean refresh);
This function moves the given widget to the given position.
The parameters xpos and ypos is the new position
of the widget. The parameter xpos can accept an integer
value or one of the pre-defined values of TOP, BOTTOM,
and CENTER. The parameter ypos can accept an integer
value or one of the pre-defined values of 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 of 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 or
not.
void positionCDKViewer (CDKVIEWEE *viewer);
This function allows the user to move the widget around
the screen via the cursor/keypad keys. The following
key bindings can be used to move the widget around the
screen.

order to use the keys as listed. (The numeric keys
at the top of the keyboard will work as well.)
void drawCDKViewer (CDKVIEWER *viewer, boolean box);
This function draws the viewer widget on the
screen. The box option draws the widget with or
without a box.
void eraseCDKViewer (CDKVIEWER *viewer);
This function removes the widget from the screen.
This does NOT destroy the widget.
void destroyCDKViewer (CDKVIEWER *viewer);

and frees up any memory the object may be using.
void bindCDKObject (EObjectType widgetType, void
*object, char key, BINDFN function, void *data);
This function allows the user to create special
key bindings. The widgetType parameter is a
defined type which states what Cdk object type is
being used. To learn more about the type EOb-
jectType read the cdk_binding manual page. The
object parameter is the pointer to the widget
object. The key is the character to bind. The
function is the function type. To learn more
about the key binding call-back function types
read the cdk_binding manual page. The last parameter
data is a pointer to any data that needs to
get passed to the call-back function.

bindings which will help the user enter or manipulate the
information quickly. The following table outlines the keys
and their actions for this widget.
