<STRONG>form_win</STRONG> - make and break form window and subwindow asso-

</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
<STRONG>#include</STRONG> <STRONG>&lt;form.h&gt;</STRONG>
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
int set_form_win(FORM *form, WINDOW *win);
WINDOW *form_win(const FORM *form);
int set_form_sub(FORM *form, WINDOW *sub);
WINDOW *form_sub(const FORM *form);
int scale_form(const FORM *form, int *rows, int *columns);
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
Every form has an associated pair of <STRONG>curses</STRONG> windows. The
form window displays any title and border associated with
the window; the form subwindow displays the items of the
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
form that are currently available for selection.
The first four functions get and set those windows. It is
not necessary to set either window; by default, the driver
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
code uses <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> for both.
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
In the <STRONG>set_</STRONG> functions, window argument of <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> is treated
as though it were <STRONG>stsdcr</STRONG>. A form argument of <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> is
treated as a request to change the system default form
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
window or subwindow.
The function <STRONG>scale_form</STRONG> returns the minimum size required
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
for the subwindow of <EM>form</EM>.
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00

<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE>
Routines that return pointers return <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> on error. Rou-
tines that return an integer return one of the following
1997-05-15 12:00:00 +08:00
error codes:
2002-10-13 11:35:53 +08:00
<STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
