DESCRIPTION

Cdk has the ability to create user definable key bindings. This ability makes Cdk more dynamic and usable for a wide variety of tasks. The following section outlines the binding functions, their use, and their purpose.
bindCDKObject

creates a key binding between a specific Cdk widget (object) given key (key). The parameter cdkType is of type EObjectType which is one of the following values.

The parameter function is the callback function. The parameter data points to data passed to the callback function. The parameter key is the key hit which triggered this callback.

checkCDKObjectBind

check to see if a binding for the given key exists. If it does, Cdk runs the associated command and returns its value, normally TRUE. If no binding exists, return FALSE.

The widgets which accept input, e.g., via "inject" methods, use this to check if the injected character is bound to a function. If that returns TRUE, the widget may update its exitType value: if earlyExit value is set (not equal to vNEVER_ACTIVATED), the widget sets exitType to that value.

cleanCDKObjectBindings

removes all user defined key bindings from the given widget.

isCDKObjectBind

check to see if a binding for the given key exists. If it does return TRUE. If no binding exists, return FALSE.

unbindCDKObject

removes a specific binding to an object. The parameter are the same as for bindCDKObject.

getcCDKObject

reads a keycode from the given widget. This is depcrecated: use getchCDKObject.

getchCDKObject

reads a keycode from the given widget. It sets a flag to indicate if the result is a function key. If the keycode has been bound to the special function getcCDKBind, then it will be translated to the value which was given for the binding data. Otherwise, a few special cases are performed:

All of the widgets use getchCDKObject internally for consistency.

EXAMPLE

To help demonstrate how to use the key bindings I will demonstrate a simple dialog box widget with help for each button. The following code segment creates a dialog box and a callback function named dialogHelpCB.
