form_win(S)

form_win: set_form_win, form_win, set_form_sub, form_sub, scale_form -- forms window and subwindow association routines

Syntax

cc ... -lform -lcurses

#include <form.h>

int set_form_win(FORM *form, WINDOW *win);
WINDOW *form_win(FORM *form);
int set_form_sub(FORM *form, WINDOW *sub);
WINDOW *form_sub(FORM *form);
int scale_form(FORM *form, int *rows, int *cols);

Description

set_form_win(S) sets the window of form to win. form_win(S) returns a pointer to the window associated with form.

set_form_sub(S) sets the subwindow of form to sub. form_sub(S) returns a pointer to the subwindow associated with form.

scale_form(S) returns the smallest window size necessary for the subwindow of form. rows and cols are pointers to the locations used to return the number of rows and columns for the form.

Return values

Routines that return pointers always return NULL on error. Routines that return an integer return one of the following:

E_OK - The function returned successfully.

E_SYSTEM_ERROR - System error.

E_BAD_ARGUMENT - An argument is incorrect.

E_NOT_CONNECTED - The field is not connected to a form.

E_POSTED - The form is posted.

Warning

The header file form.h automatically includes the header files eti.h and curses.h.
