.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The functions above handle the traversal of a screen populated with various
|
|
widgets.
|
|
Once the screen has been created and populated with widgets, a
|
|
single call to \fBtraverseCDKScreen()\fP will allow the user to move between
|
|
widgets and enter data (or otherwise manipulate widgets).
|
|
Other functions are provided for use as callbacks by the widgets on
|
|
the screen.
|
|
Finally, there are several functions which allow the caller to manipulate
|
|
the state of the traversal, i.e., the object which has focus.
|
|
.LP
|
|
In order for widgets to be used on a screen which is to be handled by
|
|
\fBtraverseCDKScreen()\fP, it must have the following methods available:
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
injectCharObj
|
|
inputWindowObj
|
|
focusObj
|
|
unfocusObj
|
|
saveDataObj
|
|
refreshDataObj
|
|
.ft R
|
|
.fi
|
|
.LP
|
|
In addition, the following object properties must be properly handled:
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
acceptsFocus
|
|
hasFocus
|
|
inputWindow
|
|
dataPtr
|
|
dataType
|
|
.ft R
|
|
.fi
|
|
.LP
|
|
At the time of this writing, not all widgets have been modified to work with
|
|
the screen-traversal facility.
|
|
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
|
|
.B int traverseCDKScreen (CDKSCREEN *\fIscreen\fP);
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
This function contains the main screen traversal engine.
|
|
It does the following:
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
1.
|
|
Calls the refreshData method on each of the widgets to tell them to
|
|
update their appearance to match the data which are referenced by their
|
|
respective data pointers.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
2.
|
|
Calls the focusObject method on the first widget.
|
|
.TP 4
|
|
3.
|
|
Repeats the following until one of the exit functions listed above has been
|
|
called:
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.bP
|
|
Read a keystroke from the keyboard.
|
|
.bP
|
|
If the keystroke is ESCAPE and a menu widget is present, activate the
|
|
menu and traverse it until the user selects an entry or hits TAB.
|
|
.bP
|
|
If the keystroke is TAB/BACKTAB then call the unfocusObject method on the
|
|
current widget, and move focus to the next/previous widget (not counting
|
|
menu widgets).
|
|
Call the focusObject method on the newly current widget.
|
|
.bP
|
|
If the keystroke is the EXIT-SAVE keystroke, then call the saveData method
|
|
on each widget and return 1.
|
|
.bP
|
|
If the keystroke is the EXIT-CANCEL keystroke, return 0 without saving
|
|
changes made by the user.
|
|
.bP
|
|
If the keystroke is the RESET-DATA keystroke, then call the refreshData
|
|
method on each of the widgets to reset their appearance to match the data
|
|
values that were present upon entry.
|
|
.bP
|
|
Otherwise, pass the keystroke to the current widget.

.B CDKOBJS *getCDKFocusCurrent (CDKSCREEN *\fIscreen\fP);
|
|
Return a pointer to the object which currently has focus in the given screen.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B CDKOBJS *setCDKFocusCurrent (CDKSCREEN *\fIscreen\fP, CDKOBJS *\fIobj\fP);
|
|
Set the focus to the given object, if the screen contains that object.
|
|
If the screen does not contain the object, return null.
|
|
Otherwise, return the object.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B CDKOBJS *setCDKFocusFirst (CDKSCREEN *\fIscreen\fP);
|
|
Set focus on the first object in the given screen.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B CDKOBJS *setCDKFocusLast (CDKSCREEN *\fIscreen\fP);
|
|
Set focus on the last object in the given screen.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B CDKOBJS *setCDKFocusNext (CDKSCREEN *\fIscreen\fP);
|
|
Set focus on the next object in the given screen.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B CDKOBJS *setCDKFocusPrevious (CDKSCREEN *\fIscreen\fP);
|
|
Set focus on the previous object in the given screen.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B exitOKCDKScreen
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
Causes the traversal engine to exit after calling the saveData
|
|
method for each of the widgets.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B exitOKCDKScreenOf
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
Calls \fBexitOKCDKScreen()\fP on the screen associated with widget
|
|
\fIobj\fP.
|
|
This function was designed to be used as a callback routine
|
|
for a button widget used as an OK button on a data-entry screen.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B exitCancelCDKScreen
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
Causes the traversal engine to exit without saving
|
|
user modified data.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B exitCancelCDKScreenOf
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
Calls \fBexitCancelCDKScreen()\fP on the screen associated with widget
|
|
\fIobj\fP.
|
|
This function was designed to be used as a callback routine
|
|
for a button widget used as a Cancel button on a data-entry screen.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B resetCDKScreen
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
Causes the traversal engine to call the refreshData method for each widget.
|
|
This will cause any unsaved changes to be discarded
|
|
and the widget states will be restored to their initial values.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B resetCDKScreenOf
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
Calls \fBresetCDKScreen()\fP on the screen associated with widget \fIobj\fP.
|
|
This function was designed to be used as a callback routine
|
|
for a button widget used as a Reset button on a data-entry screen.
|
|

|
|
.B traverseCDKOnce
|
|
.RS 3
|
|
This is a utility function, one of the pieces from which you can
|
|
construct a customized version of \fBtraverseCDKScreen\fP.

|
Not all widgets have had the extra methods added so that they work with
