form_post(3CURSES)					     Curses Library Functions						form_post(3CURSES)

NAME

       form_post, post_form, unpost_form - write or erase forms from associated subwindows

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lform  -lcurses	[ library... ]
       #include <form.h>

       int post_form(FORM *form);

       int unpost_form(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION

       post_form()  writes form into its associated subwindow. The application programmer must use curses library routines  to display the form on
       the physical screen or call update_panels() if the panels library is being used.

       unpost_form() erases form from its associated subwindow.

RETURN VALUES

       These routines return one of the following:

       E_OK		   The function returned successfully.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR	   System error.

       E_BAD_ARGUMENT	   An argument is incorrect.

       E_POSTED 	   The form is posted.

       E_NOT_POSTED	   The form is not posted.

       E_NO_ROOM	   The form does not fit in the subwindow.

       E_BAD_STATE	   The routine was called from an     initialization or termination function.

       E_NOT_CONNECTED	   The field is not connected to a form.

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lform -lcurses [ library... ]
       #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() sets the window of form to win. form_win() returns a pointer to the window associated with form.set_form_sub() sets the sub-
       window of form to sub. form_sub() returns a pointer to the subwindow associated with form.scale_form() 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 returnedsuccessfully.

       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.
