.SH NAME
|
|
\fBmenu_driver\fR - command-processing loop of the menu system
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fB#include <menu.h>\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
int menu_driver(MENU *menu, int c);
|
|
.br
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Once a menu has been posted (displayed), you should funnel input events to it
|
|
through \fBmenu_driver\fR. This routine has three major input cases; either
|
|
the input is a menu navigation request, it's a printable ASCII character or it
|
|
is the KEY_MOUSE special key associated with an mouse event.
|
|
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 ASCII 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\fR returns
|
|
\fBE_NO_MATCH\fR 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.
|
|
.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. If you click above the
|
|
display region of the menu, a REQ_SCR_ULINE is generated, if you
|
|
doubleclick a REQ_SCR_UPAGE is generated and if you tripleclick a
|
|
REQ_FIRST_ITEM is generated. If you click below the display region of
|
|
the menu, a REQ_SCR_DLINE is generated, if you doubleclick a REQ_SCR_DPAGE
|
|
is generated and if you tripleclick a REQ_LAST_ITEM is generated. If you
|
|
click at an item inside the display area of the menu, the menu cursor
|
|
is positioned to that item. If you double-click at an item a REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM
|
|
is generated and \fBE_UNKNOWN_COMMAND\fR is returned. This return value makes
|
|
sense, because a double click usually means that an item-specific action should
|
|
be returned. It's exactly the purpose of this return value to signal that an
|
|
application specific command should be executed. If a translation
|
|
into a request was done, \fBmenu_driver\fR returns the result of this request.
|
|
If you clicked outside the user window or the mouse event couldn't be translated
|
|
into a menu request an \fBE_REQUEST_DENIED\fR is returned.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the second argument is neither printable ASCII 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\fR. Application-defined commands
|
|
should be defined relative to \fBMAX_COMMAND\fR, the maximum value of these
|
|
pre-defined requests.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE

|
