.SH DESCRIPTION
The Cdk template widget creates a template widget which allows a user to type
information into an entry field with a pre-set field format.
Typical uses for
this widget would be a date field or a time field.
The following are functions
which create or manipulate the Cdk template box widget.
.SH AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS
.TP 5
.B activateCDKTemplate
activates the template widget and lets the user interact with the widget.
.RS
.bP
The parameter \fBtemplate\fR is a pointer to a non-NULL template 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 or \fITAB\fR then this function will return
a \fIchar\ *\fR representing the information typed into the widget and the
widget data \fIexitType\fR will be set to \fIvNORMAL\fR.
.IP
If the character
entered was \fIESCAPE\fR then the function will return \fINULL\fR pointer and
the widget data \fIexitType\fR is set to \fIvESCAPE_HIT\fR.
.TP 5
.B cleanCDKTemplate
clears the information from the field.
.TP 5
.B destroyCDKTemplate
removes the widget from the screen and frees any memory the object used.
.TP 5
.B drawCDKTemplate
draws the template widget on the screen.
If \fBbox\fR is true,
the widget is drawn with a box.
.TP 5
.B eraseCDKTemplate
removes the widget from the screen.
This does \fBNOT\fR destroy the widget.
.TP 5
.B getCDKTemplateBox
returns true if the widget will be drawn with a box around it.
.TP 5
.B getCDKTemplateMin
returns the minimum characters that must be entered before the
widget will exit.
.TP 5
.B getCDKTemplateValue
returns the current value of the widget.
.TP 5
.B injectCDKTemplate
injects a single character into the widget.
.RS
.bP
The parameter \fBtemplate\fR is a pointer to a non-NULL template 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
a \fIchar\ *\fR representing the information typed into the widget.
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 mixCDKTemplate
returns a \fIchar*\fR pointer to the field value and the plate.
.TP 5
.B moveCDKTemplate
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 is an integer or one of the predefined 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).
.bP
The final parameter \fBrefresh\fR is a boolean value which
states whether the widget will be repainted after the move.
.RE
.TP 5
.B newCDKTemplate
creates a template widget, returning a pointer to it.
Parameters:
.RS
.TP 5
\fBscreen\fR
is the screen you wish this widget to be placed in.
.TP 5
\fBxpos\fR
controls the placement of the object along the horizontal axis.
It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fILEFT\fR, \fIRIGHT\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.TP 5
\fBypos\fR
controls the placement of the object along the vertical axis.
It may be an integer or one of the pre-defined values
\fITOP\fR, \fIBOTTOM\fR, and \fICENTER\fR.
.TP 5
\fBtitle\fR
is the string to display at the top of the widget.
The title can be more than one line; just provide a carriage return
character at the line break.
.TP 5
\fBlabel\fR
is the string to display in the label of the template field.
.TP 5
\fBplate\fR
defines the character to allow at each position in the template field.
This is done by creating a character plate by using
special format character to tell the template widget what type of character
is allowed where in the template widget.
The following table lists the format types.

.TP 5
\fBoverlay\fR
is the overlay of the template field.
