This routine has three major input cases: +.bP +The input is a form navigation request. +Navigation request codes are constants defined in \fB<form.h>\fP, +which are distinct from the key- and character codes +returned by \fBwgetch\fP(3X). +.bP +The input is a printable character. +Printable characters (which must be positive, less than 256) are +checked according to the program's locale settings. +.bP +The input is the KEY_MOUSE special key associated with an mouse event. +.PP +The menu driver requests are as follows: +.TP 5 +REQ_LEFT_ITEM +Move left to an item. +.TP 5 +REQ_RIGHT_ITEM +Move right to an item. +.TP 5 +REQ_UP_ITEM +Move up to an item. +.TP 5 +REQ_DOWN_ITEM +Move down to an item. +.TP 5 +REQ_SCR_ULINE +Scroll up a line. +.TP 5 +REQ_SCR_DLINE +Scroll down a line. +.TP 5 +REQ_SCR_DPAGE +Scroll down a page. +.TP 5 +REQ_SCR_UPAGE +Scroll up a page. +.TP 5 +REQ_FIRST_ITEM +Move to the first item. +.TP 5 +REQ_LAST_ITEM +Move to the last item. +.TP 5 +REQ_NEXT_ITEM +Move to the next item. +.TP 5 +REQ_PREV_ITEM +Move to the previous item. +.TP 5 +REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM +Select/deselect an item. +.TP 5 +REQ_CLEAR_PATTERN +Clear the menu pattern buffer. +.TP 5 +REQ_BACK_PATTERN +Delete the previous character from the pattern buffer. +.TP 5 +REQ_NEXT_MATCH +Move to the next item matching the pattern match. +.TP 5 +REQ_PREV_MATCH +Move to the previous item matching the pattern match. +.PP +If the second argument is a printable character, the code appends +it to the pattern buffer and attempts to move to the next item matching +the new pattern. +If there is no such match, \fBmenu_driver\fP returns +\fBE_NO_MATCH\fP and deletes the appended character from the buffer. +.PP +If the second argument is one of the above pre-defined requests, the +corresponding action is performed. +.SS MOUSE HANDLING +.PP +If the second argument is the KEY_MOUSE special key, the associated +mouse event is translated into one of the above pre-defined requests. +Currently only clicks in the user window (e.g., inside the menu display +area or the decoration window) are handled. +.PP +If you click above the display region of the menu: +.bP +a REQ_SCR_ULINE is generated for a single click, +.bP +a REQ_SCR_UPAGE is generated for a double-click and +.bP +a REQ_FIRST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click. +.PP +If you click below the display region of the menu: +.bP +a REQ_SCR_DLINE is generated for a single click, +.bP +a REQ_SCR_DPAGE is generated for a double-click and +.bP +a REQ_LAST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click. +.PP +If you click at an item inside the display area of the menu: +.bP +the menu cursor is positioned to that item. +.bP +If you double-click an item a REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM +is generated and \fBE_UNKNOWN_COMMAND\fP is returned. +This return value makes sense, +because a double click usually means that an item-specific action should +be returned. +It is exactly the purpose of this return value to signal that an +application specific command should be executed. +.bP +If a translation +into a request was done, \fBmenu_driver\fP returns the result of this request. +.PP +If you clicked outside the user window +or the mouse event could not be translated +into a menu request an \fBE_REQUEST_DENIED\fP is returned. +.SS APPLICATION-DEFINED COMMANDS +.PP +If the second argument is neither printable nor one of the above +pre-defined menu requests or KEY_MOUSE, +the drive assumes it is an application-specific +command and returns \fBE_UNKNOWN_COMMAND\fP. Application-defined commands +should be defined relative to \fBMAX_COMMAND\fP, the maximum value of these +pre-defined requests. +.SH RETURN VALUE +\fBmenu_driver\fP return one of the following error codes: +.TP 5 +.B E_OK +The routine succeeded. +.TP 5 +.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR +System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fP(3)). +.TP 5 +.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT +Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument. +.TP 5 +.B E_BAD_STATE +Routine was called from an initialization or termination function. +.TP 5 +.B E_NOT_POSTED +The menu has not been posted. +.TP 5 +.B E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND +The menu driver code saw an unknown request code. +.TP 5 +.B E_NO_MATCH +Character failed to match. +.TP 5 +.B E_REQUEST_DENIED +The menu driver could not process the request. +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBcurses\fP(3X), +\fBgetch\fP(3X), +\fBmenu\fP(3X). +.SH NOTES +The header file \fB<menu.h>\fP automatically includes the header files +\fB<curses.h>\fP. +.SH PORTABILITY +These routines emulate the System V menu library. +They were not supported on +Version 7 or BSD versions. +The support for mouse events is ncurses specific. +.SH AUTHORS +Juergen Pfeifer. +Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S. Raymond. |
