DESCRIPTION

       Cdk manages all of the widgets for you.  These functions perform some
       of the management of the widgets in a screen.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS

       destroyCDKScreen
            frees any memory allocated by the Cdk screen pointer.

       endCDK
            cleans up any memory created by  starting  Cdk  and  shuts  down
            curses.

       eraseCDKScreen
            erases  all of the widgets which are currently associated to the
            given screen.  This does NOT destroy the widgets.

       initCDKColor
            starts the Cdk color capabilities.  It defines  64  color  pairs
            each  of which is accessible using the COLOR_PAIR macro.  If you
            do not have color support, this function call makes  no  differ-
            ence.

       initCDKScreen
            takes  a WINDOW* parameter cursesWindow and returns a pointer to
            a CDKSCREEN.

            Since all of the widgets take a CDKSCREEN  pointer  as  a  first
            argument, this is one of the first calls made.

            If  the  cursesWindow parameter is a null pointer, initCDKScreen
            initializes curses and replaces the parameter with stdscr.  Oth-
            erwise, it assumes that your application has already initialized
            the locale and then called initscr

            In either case, the (possibly updated) cursesWindow parameter is
            used as the window for the CDKSCREEN result.

       lowerCDKObject
            has the opposite effect of the raiseCDKObject function call.

       raiseCDKObject
            raises  the  widget  to the top of the screen.  If there are any
            widgets which overlap the given object when a refresh  is  done,
            calling this function has the effect of raiding the object so no
            other widgets obstruct it.

            o   The widgetType parameter states what Cdk  widget  type  this
                object is.

            o   The object parameter is a void pointer to the object.

       refreshCDKScreen
            redraws all of the widgets which are currently associated to the
            given screen.

       registerCDKObject
            is called automatically when a widget is created.  If  for  some
            reason an object does get unregistered, by calling unregisterCD-
            KObject, the widget can be  registered  again  by  calling  this
            function.

            o   The  widgetType  parameter  states what Cdk widget type this
                object is.

            o   The object parameter is a void pointer to the object.

       unregisterCDKObject
            removes the widget from the screen.  This does NOT  destroy  the
            object,  it removes the widget from any further refreshes by the
            function refreshCDKScreen.

            o   The widgetType parameter states what Cdk  widget  type  this
                object is.

            o   The object parameter is a void pointer to the object.
