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 parame-
          ter 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 deprecated:  use
            getchCDKObject.

       getchCDKObject
            reads  a  keycode from the given widget, and sets a flag via the
            functionKey parameter to indicate if the result  is  a  function
            key.   The  functionKey  parameter  may  be null; the keycode is
            returned whether or not the flag can be set.

            If the keycode has been bound to the  special  function  getcCD-
            KBind,  then  it will be translated to the value which was given
            for the binding data.  Otherwise, a few special cases  are  per-
            formed:

                +------------------------------------------------------+
                |Key                         Result                    |
                +------------------------------------------------------+
                |CTRL-A                      KEY_HOME                  |
                |CTRL-B                      KEY_LEFT                  |
                |CTRL-E                      KEY_END                   |
                |CTRL-F                      KEY_RIGHT                 |
                |CTRL-N                      tab                       |
                |CTRL-P                      KEY_BTAB                  |
                |DEL                         KEY_DC                    |
                |backspace                   KEY_BACKSPACE             |
                |carriage return             KEY_ENTER                 |
                |newline                     KEY_ENTER                 |
                +------------------------------------------------------+
       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.
