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 \fB\%wgetch\fP(3NCURSES). +.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. +.SS form_driver_w +This extension simplifies the use of the forms library using wide characters. +The input is either a key code (a request) or a wide character +returned by \fB\%get_wch\fP(3NCURSES). +The type must be passed as well, +to enable the library to determine whether the parameter +is a wide character or a request. +.SS "Form Driver Requests" +The form driver requests are as follows: +.PP +.TS +Lb Lb +Lb Lx. +Name Description +_ +REQ_BEG_FIELD Move to beginning of field. +REQ_BEG_LINE Move to beginning of the line. +REQ_CLR_EOF Clear to end of field from cursor. +REQ_CLR_EOL Clear to end of line from cursor. +REQ_CLR_FIELD Clear the entire field. +REQ_DEL_CHAR Delete character at the cursor. +REQ_DEL_LINE Delete line at the cursor. +REQ_DEL_PREV Delete character before the cursor. +REQ_DEL_WORD Delete blank-delimited word at cursor. +REQ_DOWN_CHAR Move down in field. +REQ_DOWN_FIELD Move down to a field. +REQ_END_FIELD Move to the end of field. +REQ_END_LINE Move to the end of the line. +REQ_FIRST_FIELD Move to the first field. +REQ_FIRST_PAGE Move to the first page. +REQ_INS_CHAR Insert a blank at the cursor. +REQ_INS_LINE Insert a blank line at the cursor. +REQ_INS_MODE Enter insert mode. +REQ_LAST_FIELD Move to the last field. +REQ_LAST_PAGE Move to the last field. +REQ_LEFT_CHAR Move left in field. +REQ_LEFT_FIELD Move left to a field. +REQ_NEW_LINE Insert or overlay a new line. +REQ_NEXT_CHAR Move to the next char. +REQ_NEXT_CHOICE Display next field choice. +REQ_NEXT_FIELD Move to the next field. +REQ_NEXT_LINE Move to the next line. +REQ_NEXT_PAGE Move to the next page. +REQ_NEXT_PAGE Move to the next page. +REQ_NEXT_WORD Move to the next word. +REQ_OVL_MODE Enter overlay mode. +REQ_PREV_CHAR Move to the previous char. +REQ_PREV_CHOICE Display previous field choice. +REQ_PREV_FIELD Move to the previous field. +REQ_PREV_LINE Move to the previous line. +REQ_PREV_PAGE Move to the previous page. +REQ_PREV_WORD Move to the previous word. +REQ_RIGHT_CHAR Move right in field. +REQ_RIGHT_FIELD Move right to a field. +REQ_SCR_BCHAR Scroll field backward 1 character. +REQ_SCR_BHPAGE Scroll field backward \(12 page. +REQ_SCR_BLINE Scroll field backward 1 line. +REQ_SCR_BPAGE Scroll field backward 1 page. +REQ_SCR_FCHAR Scroll field forward 1 character. +REQ_SCR_FHPAGE Scroll field forward \(12 page. +REQ_SCR_FLINE Scroll field forward 1 line. +REQ_SCR_FPAGE Scroll field forward 1 page. +REQ_SCR_HBHALF Horizontal scroll field backward \(12 line. +REQ_SCR_HBLINE Horizontal scroll field backward 1 line. +REQ_SCR_HFHALF Horizontal scroll field forward \(12 line. +REQ_SCR_HFLINE Horizontal scroll field forward 1 line. +REQ_SFIRST_FIELD Move to the sorted first field. +REQ_SLAST_FIELD Move to the sorted last field. +REQ_SNEXT_FIELD Move to the sorted next field. +REQ_SPREV_FIELD Move to the sorted previous field. +REQ_UP_CHAR Move up in field. +REQ_UP_FIELD Move up to a field. +REQ_VALIDATION Validate field. +.TE +.PP +If the second argument is a printable character, the driver places it +in the current position in the current field. +If it is one of the forms +requests listed above, that request is executed. +.SS "Field Validation" +The form library makes updates to the window associated +with form fields rather than directly to the field buffers. +.PP +The form driver provides low-level control over updates to the form fields. +The form driver also provides for validating modified fields +to ensure that the contents +meet whatever constraints an application may attach using \fBset_field_type\fP. +.PP +You can validate a field without making any changes to it using +\fBREQ_VALIDATION\fP. +The form driver also validates a field in these cases: +.bP +a call to \fBset_current_field\fP attempts to move to a different field. +.bP +a call to \fBset_current_page\fP attempts to move +to a different page of the form. +.bP +a request attempts to move to a different field. +.bP +a request attempts to move to a different page of the form. +.PP +In each case, the move fails if the field is invalid. +.PP +If the modified field is valid, the form driver copies the modified +data from the window associated with the field +to the field buffer. +.SS "Mouse Handling" +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 form display +area or the decoration window) are handled. +.PP +If you click above the display region of the form: +.RS 3 +.TP +a REQ_PREV_FIELD is generated for a single click, +.TP +a REQ_PREV_PAGE is generated for a double-click and +.TP +a REQ_FIRST_FIELD is generated for a triple-click. +.RE +.PP +If you click below the display region of the form: +.RS 3 +.TP +a REQ_NEXT_FIELD is generated for a single click, +.TP +a REQ_NEXT_PAGE is generated for a double-click and +.TP +a REQ_LAST_FIELD is generated for a triple-click. +.RE +.PP +If you click at an field inside the display area of the form: +.RS 3 +.bP +the form cursor is positioned to that field. +.bP +If you double-click a field, +the form cursor is positioned to that field +and \fBE_UNKNOWN_COMMAND\fP is returned. +This return value makes sense, +because a double click usually means that an field-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, \fBform_driver\fP returns the result of this request. +.RE +.PP +If you clicked outside the user window +or the mouse event could not be translated +into a form request an \fBE_REQUEST_DENIED\fP is returned. +.SS "Application-defined Commands" +If the second argument is neither printable nor one of the above +pre-defined form requests, the driver 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 +\fBform_driver\fP returns one of the following error codes: +.TP 5 +.B E_OK +The routine succeeded. +.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 form has not been posted. +.TP 5 +.B E_INVALID_FIELD +Contents of field is invalid. +.TP 5 +.B E_NOT_CONNECTED +No fields are connected to the form. +.TP 5 +.B E_REQUEST_DENIED +The form driver could not process the request. +.TP 5 +.B E_SYSTEM_ERROR +System error occurred (see \fBerrno\fP(3)). +.TP 5 +.B E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND +The form driver code saw an unknown request code. +.SH PORTABILITY +These routines emulate the System V forms library. +They were not supported on +Version 7 or BSD versions. +.SH AUTHORS +Juergen Pfeifer. +Manual pages and adaptation for new curses by Eric S.
