.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The Cdk alphalist allows a user to select from a list of alphabetically
|
||
|
sorted words.
|
||
|
The user can use the arrow keys to traverse through the
|
||
|
list or type in the beginning of the word and the list will automatically
|
||
|
adjust itself in the correct place in the scrolling list.
|
||
|
This widget,
|
||
|
like the file selector widget, is a compound widget of both the entry
|
||
|
field widget and the scrolling list widget.
|
||
|
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
|
||
|
.TP 5
|
||
|
.B activateCDKAlphalist
|
||
|
activates the alphalist widget and lets the user interact with the widget.
|
||
|
.RS
|
||
|
.bP
|
||
|
The parameter \fBalphalist\fR is a pointer to a non-NULL alphalist widget.
|
||
|
.bP
|
||
|
If the \fBactions\fR 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 \fINULL\fR pointer for \fBactions\fR.
|
||
|
.RE
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
If the character entered
|
||
|
into this widget is \fIRETURN\fR then this function will return a \fIchar *\fR
|
||
|
of the information which was typed in the field.
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
If the \fITAB\fR character is hit
|
||
|
then the widget will try to complete the word in the entry field.
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
If the widget
|
||
|
is exited with the \fIRETURN\fR character then the widget data \fIexitType\fR
|
||
|
will be set to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
If the widget was exited with the \fIESCAPE\fR key
|
||
|
then the widget data \fIexitType\fR will be set to \fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR and
|
||
|
the widget returns \fINULL\fR.
|
||
|
.TP 5
|
||
|

|
||
|
.TP 5
|
||
|

|
||
|
.RS
|
||
|
.bP
|
||
|
The parameter \fBalphalist\fR is a pointer to a non-NULL alphalist widget.
|
||
|
.bP
|
||
|
The parameter \fBcharacter\fR is the character to inject into the widget.
|
||
|
.RE
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
The return value and side-effect (setting the widget data \fIexitType\fP)
|
||
|
depend upon the injected character:
|
||
|
.RS
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fIRETURN\fP or \fITAB\fR
|
||
|
the function returns
|
||
|
the information in the entry field.
|
||
|
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
\fIESCAPE\fP
|
||
|
the function returns
|
||
|
a \fINULL\fR pointer.
|
||
|
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
Otherwise
|
||
|
unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing or key bindings,
|
||
|
the function returns
|
||
|
a \fINULL\fR pointer.
|
||
|
The widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvEARLY_EXIT\fR.
|
||
|
.RE
|
||
|
.TP 5
|
||
|
.B moveCDKAlphalist
|
||
|
moves the given widget to the given position.
|
||
|
.RS
|
||
|
.bP
|
||
|
The parameters \fBxpos\fR and \fBypos\fR are the new position of the widget.
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
The parameter \fBxpos\fR may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
|
||
|
\fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
The parameter \fBypos\fR may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values \fILEFT\fR,
|
||
|
\fIRIGHT\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
|
||
|
.bP
|
||
|
The parameter \fBrelative\fR states whether
|
||
|
the \fBxpos\fR/\fBypos\fR pair is a relative move or an absolute move.
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
For example, if \fBxpos\fR = 1 and \fBypos\fR = 2 and \fBrelative\fR = \fBTRUE\fR,
|
||
|
then the widget would move one row down and two columns right.
|
||
|
If the value of \fBrelative\fR was \fBFALSE\fR then the widget would move to the position (1,2).
|
||
|
.IP
|
||
|
Do not use the values \fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, \fILEFT\fR,
|
||
|
\fIRIGHT\fR, or \fICENTER\fR when \fBrelative\fR = \fITRUE\fR.
|
||
|
(weird things may happen).
|
||
|
The final parameter \fBrefresh\fR is a boolean value
|
||
|
which states whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.
|
||
|
.TP 5
|
||
|
.B newCDKAlphalist
|

|
||
|
.bP
|
||
|
\fBxpos\fR
|
||
|

||
|
.bP
|
||
|
\fBypos\fR

||
|
.bP
|
||
|
\fBheight\fR and
|
||
|
\fBwidth\fR
|
||
|
control the height and width of the widget.
|
||
|
If you provide a value of zero for either of the height
|
||
|

|
||
|
If you provide a negative value, the widget will be created the full height

||
|
(note that it modifies the caller's copy of the list to do this).
|
||
|
.bP
|
||
|
\fBlistSize\fR

tells the widget how large the word list is.

.SH KEY BINDINGS
|
||
|
When the widget is activated there are several default key bindings which will
|
||
|
help the user enter or manipulate the information quickly.
|
||
|
Since this widget is
|
||
|
built from both the scrolling list widget and the entry field widget, the key
|
||
|
bindings are the same for the respective fields.
|
||
|
The extra key bindings are
|
||
|
listed below.
