DESCRIPTION

       The Cdk calendar widget creates a pop-up calendar.  The calendar wid-
       get allows the user to traverse through months/years using the cursor
       keys.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       activateCDKCalendar
            activates  the  calendar  widget and lets the user interact with
            the widget.

            o   The calendar widget is a pointer to a non-NULL calendar wid-
                get.

            o   If  the  actions  parameter is passed with a non-NULL value,
                the characters in the array will be injected into  the  wid-
                get.

                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 type of time_t.

            o   The  time_t  type  is  used  in the functions defined in the
                time.h header file.  (see localtime or ctime for more infor-
                mation).

            If the character entered into this widget was ESCAPE or TAB then
            this function will return a value of (time_t)-1 and  the  widget
            data exitType will be set to vESCAPE_HIT.

       destroyCDKCalendar
            removes  the  widget from the screen and frees memory the object
            used.

       drawCDKCalendar
            draws the label widget on the screen.

            If the box parameter is true, the widget is drawn with a box.

       eraseCDKCalendar
            removes the widget from the screen.  This does NOT  destroy  the
            widget.

       getCDKCalendarBox
            returns whether the widget will be drawn with a box around it.

       getCDKCalendarDate
            returns the current date the calendar is displaying.

       getCDKCalendarDayAttribute
            returns the attribute of the day attribute of the calendar.

       getCDKCalendarHighlight
            returns the attribute of the highlight bar of the scrolling list
            portion of the widget.

       getCDKCalendarMarker
            returns the marker set on the calendar by setCDKCalendarMarker.

       getCDKCalendarMonthAttribute
            returns the attribute of the month attribute of the calendar.

       getCDKCalendarYearAttribute
            returns the attribute of the year attribute of the calendar.

       injectCDKCalendar
            injects a single character into the widget.

            o   The parameter calendar is a pointer to a  non-NULL  calendar
                widget.

            o   The  parameter character is the character to inject into the
                widget.

            The return value and side-effect (setting the widget data  exit-
            Type) depend upon the injected character:

            RETURN or TAB
                   the  function  returns a value of type time_t (see local-
                   time or ctime for more  information).   The  widget  data
                   exitType is set to vNORMAL.

            ESCAPE the  function  returns (time_t)-1.  The widget data exit-
                   Type is set to vESCAPE_HIT.

            Otherwise
                   unless modified by preprocessing, postprocessing  or  key
                   bindings,  the  function  returns (time_t)-1.  The widget
                   data exitType is set to vEARLY_EXIT.

       moveCDKCalendar
            moves the given widget to the given position.

            o   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.

            o   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).

            o   The final parameter refresh is a boolean value which  states
                whether the widget will get refreshed after the move.

       newCDKCalendar
            creates  a calendar widget and returns a pointer to it.  Parame-
            ters:

            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 val-
                 ues 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 val-
                 ues TOP, BOTTOM, and CENTER.

            title
                 is the string which will be displayed at  the  top  of  the
                 widget.   The title can be more than one line; just provide
                 a carriage return character at the line break.

            year,

            month and

            day
                 set the initial date of the calendar.

            yearAttrib,

            monthAttrib and

            shadow
                 turns the shadow on or off around this widget.

            If  the  widget  could  not  be  created  then a NULL pointer is
            returned.

       positionCDKCalendar
            allows the user to move the widget around  the  screen  via  the
            cursor/keypad keys.  See cdk_position(3) for key bindings.

            endar widget.

            o   The  calendar  parameter  represents  an  existing  calendar
                pointer.

            o   The  other  parameter names correspond to the same parameter
                names listed in the newCDKCalendar function.

       setCDKCalendarBackgroundAttrib
            sets the background attribute of the widget.

            The parameter attribute is a curses attribute, e.g., A_BOLD.

       setCDKCalendarBackgroundColor
            sets the background color of the widget.

            The parameter color is in the format of the Cdk format strings.

            See cdk_display(3).

       setCDKCalendarBoxAttribute
            sets the attribute of the box.

       setCDKCalendarDate
            sets the calendar to the given date.

            If the value of the day, month, or year parameters  is  -1  then
            the current day, month, or year is used to set the date.

       setCDKCalendarDayAttribute
            sets the attribute of the day in the calendar.

            The default value is
            "Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa"

            "Su" (Sunday) is numbered zero internally, making it by  default
            the  first day of the week.  Set the weekBase member of the wid-
            get to select a different day.  For example, Monday would be  1,
            Tuesday 2, etc.

       setCDKCalendarHighlight

            allows the user to set a marker which will be displayed when the
            month is drawn.

            The marker parameter is the attribute to use  when  drawing  the
            marker.   If  more  than one marker is set on a single day, then
            the day will blink with the original marker attribute.

            sets the attribute of the month in the calendar.

       setCDKCalendarMonthsNames
            sets the names of the months of the year.

            The parameter is a 13-element array (since indexing starts  with
            1).

            The default values are the English month names, e.g., "January".

       setCDKCalendarPostProcess
            allows the user to have the widget call a function after the key

            allows  the  user to have the widget call a function after a key
            is hit and before the key is applied to the widget.

            o   The parameter function is the callback function.

            o   The parameter data points to data  passed  to  the  callback
                function.

            To learn more about pre-processing see cdk_process(3).

       setCDKCalendarULChar
            sets the upper left hand corner of the widget's box to the given
