DESCRIPTION
The Cdk marquee widget creates a pop-up marquee window. The following
functions create or manipulate the Cdk marquee widget.
AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
activateCDKMarquee
activates the marquee widget. The marquee parameter is a pointer
to a defined marquee widget. The delay parameter states how long
to wait between movements. This value is highly dependent on each
machine the program runs on. The repeat value tells the marquee
widget how many times to display the given message. The box
option draws the widget with or without a box. This function
returns -1 if the message passed is NULL, 0 otherwise.
deactivateCDKMarquee
deactivates the marquee widget.
destroyCDKMarquee
removes the widget from the screen and frees memory the object
used.
drawCDKMarquee
draws the marquee widget on the screen. If the box parameter is
true, the widget is drawn with a box.
eraseCDKMarquee
removes the widget from the screen. This does NOT destroy the
widget.
getCDKMarqueeBox
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
moveCDKMarquee
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.
newCDKMarquee
creates a marquee widget and returns a pointer to it. Parameters:
screen
is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
xpos 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.
ypos 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.
width
controls the width of the field. If you provide a value of
zero for the width, the widget uses the width of the screen.
If a negative value is provided, then the widget uses the
width of the screen less the value provided.
shadow
turns the shadow on or off around this widget.
If the widget could not be created then a NULL pointer is
returned.
positionCDKMarquee
allows the user to move the widget around the screen via the
cursor/keypad keys. See cdk_position (3) for key bindings.
setCDKMarqueeBackgroundAttrib
sets the background attribute of the widget. The parameter
attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.
setCDKMarqueeBackgroundColor
sets the background color of the widget. The parameter color is
in the format of the Cdk format strings. For more information see
cdk_display (3).
setCDKMarqueeBox
sets whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
setCDKMarqueeBoxAttribute
sets the attribute of the box.
setCDKMarqueeHorizontalChar
sets the horizontal drawing character for the box to the given
character.
setCDKMarqueeLLChar
sets the lower left hand corner of the widget’s box to the given
character.
setCDKMarqueeLRChar
sets the lower right hand corner of the widget’s box to the given
character.
setCDKMarqueeULChar
sets the upper left hand corner of the widget’s box to the given
character.
setCDKMarqueeURChar
sets the upper right hand corner of the widget’s box to the given
character.
setCDKMarqueeVerticalChar
sets the vertical drawing character for the box to the given
character.
