.SH NAME

\fBform_win\fR \- make and break form window and subwindow associations
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <form.h>\fR
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBint set_form_win(FORM *\fP\fIform\fP\fB, WINDOW *\fP\fIwin\fP\fB);\fP

|
|
.sp

.br
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Every form has an associated pair of \fBcurses\fR windows.
|
|
The form window
|
|
displays any title and border associated with the window; the form subwindow
|
|
displays the items of the form that are currently available for selection.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The first four functions get and set those windows.
|
|
It is not necessary to set
|
|
either window; by default, the driver code uses \fBstdscr\fR for both.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In the \fBset_\fR functions, window argument of \fBNULL\fR is treated as though
|
|
it were \fBstsdcr\fR. A form argument of \fBNULL\fR is treated as a request
|
|
to change the system default form window or subwindow.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The function \fBscale_form\fR returns the minimum size required for the
|
|
subwindow of \fIform\fR.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
Routines that return pointers return \fBNULL\fR on error.
|
|
Routines that return
|
|
an integer 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\fR(3)).
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B E_BAD_ARGUMENT
|
|
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B E_POSTED
|
|
The form has already been posted.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B E_NOT_CONNECTED
|
|
No items are connected to the form.
|

.SH NOTES
|
|
The header file \fB<form.h>\fR automatically includes the header file
|
|
\fB<curses.h>\fR.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
These routines emulate the System V forms library.
|
|
They were not supported on
|
|
Version 7 or BSD versions.
