menu_driver(3X)                                                                              menu_driver(3X)



NAME
       menu_driver - command-processing loop of the menu system

SYNOPSIS
       #include <menu.h>
       int menu_driver(MENU *menu, int c);

DESCRIPTION
       Once  a  menu  has been posted (displayed), you should funnel input events to it through menu_driver.
       This routine has three major input cases:

       -  The input is a form navigation  request.   Navigation  request  codes  are  constants  defined  in
          <form.h>, which are distinct from the key- and character codes returned by wgetch.

       -  The  input is a printable character.  Printable characters (which must be positive, less than 256)
          are checked according to the program's locale settings.

       -  The input is the KEY_MOUSE special key associated with an mouse event.

       The menu driver requests are as follows:

       REQ_LEFT_ITEM
            Move left to an item.

       REQ_RIGHT_ITEM
            Move right to an item.

       REQ_UP_ITEM
            Move up to an item.

       REQ_DOWN_ITEM
            Move down to an item.

       REQ_SCR_ULINE
            Scroll up a line.

       REQ_SCR_DLINE
            Scroll down a line.

       REQ_SCR_DPAGE
            Scroll down a page.

       REQ_SCR_UPAGE
            Scroll up a page.

       REQ_FIRST_ITEM
            Move to the first item.

       REQ_LAST_ITEM
            Move to the last item.

       REQ_NEXT_ITEM
            Move to the next item.

       REQ_PREV_ITEM
            Move to the previous item.

       REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM
            Select/deselect an item.

       REQ_CLEAR_PATTERN
            Clear the menu pattern buffer.

       REQ_BACK_PATTERN
            Delete the previous character from the pattern buffer.

       REQ_NEXT_MATCH
            Move to the next item matching the pattern match.

       REQ_PREV_MATCH
            Move to the previous item matching the pattern match.

       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, menu_driver
       returns E_NO_MATCH and deletes the appended character from the buffer.

       If the second argument is one of the above pre-defined requests, the  corresponding  action  is  per-formed. performed.
       formed.

   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
       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 for a single click,

              a REQ_SCR_UPAGE is generated for a double-click and

              a REQ_FIRST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.

       If you click below the display region of the menu:

              a REQ_SCR_DLINE is generated for a single click,

              a REQ_SCR_DPAGE is generated for a double-click and

              a REQ_LAST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.

       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  an  item  a  REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM  is  generated and E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND 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.

              -  If a translation into a request was done, menu_driver returns the result of this request.

       If you clicked outside the user window or the mouse event could not be translated into a menu request
       an E_REQUEST_DENIED is returned.

   APPLICATION-DEFINED COMMANDS
       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  E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND.
       Application-defined  commands  should  be defined relative to MAX_COMMAND, the maximum value of these
       pre-defined requests.

RETURN VALUE
       menu_driver return one of the following error codes:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
            System error occurred (see errno).

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT
            Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.

       E_BAD_STATE
            Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.

       E_NOT_POSTED
            The menu has not been posted.

       E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND
            The menu driver code saw an unknown request code.

       E_NO_MATCH
            Character failed to match.

       E_REQUEST_DENIED
            The menu driver could not process the request.
