\subtitle{Name}
Choice --- a set of boxes representing the choices available.
\subtitle{Declaration}
\#include \<choice.h\>
\function{Choice(Point origin, Point corner,
int foreground_color, int background_color,
int frame_style, int space_in_between,
int number_of_choices,
const~char\* first_label, $...$)}
Constructs a choice object. Each choice object is a set of boxes
representing the choices available. "Origin" and "corner" define the
rectangular area inside which the boxes are displayed.
The "space_in_between" (in pixels)
defines the distance between two adjacent boxes. Depending on
whether there is enough room to put all the choices horizontally
or vertically in the designated area,
the choices will be laid out accordingly. The
attributes "foreground_color", "background_color" and "frame_style"
define the colors for each box that represents each choice.
The number of labels starting with "first_label" must match the
number given by "number_of_choices". Each label is displayed within
its corresponding box. The choices are displayed
as soon as they are created.
\function{Choice(int number_of_choices, Boolean is_horizontal = VIRTICAL)}
Constructs an array of choices or
a choice object with boxes of different sizes. The attributes
of the actual choices will be defined later using the
addItem() operation. Note: It is forbidden to have arguments
in the constructors of array objects in C++.
\subtitle{Description}
A Choice object is a set of related boxes. It is used to display
multiple choices on the screen.
A choice may either be selected by pressing a hot key
(when mouse is not enabled) or by pressing a mouse button when the mouse
cursor is within the intended choice box.
The first highlighted character in the text label will be the
hot key if the mouse is not enabled, otherwise, the highlighted
character will have no effect. For example, label "@N@ext" designates
"N" as the hot key for the button if the mouse is not enabled.
By default, if the mouse driver is loaded before program execution,
the mouse is enabled.
When using the mouse to select
a choice, the selection is immediate; a hot key must be confirmed
by pressing ENTER (carriage return key). Arrow keys can also be used
to move the current selection in the direction indicated by the arrows,
this also requires an ENTER to confirm.
\subtitle{Public \\ Operations}
\function{void addItem(Point origin, Point corner,
int foreground_color, int background_color,
int frame_style, const~char\* label,
int text_color = WHITE,
int text_highlight_color = LIGHT_WHITE)}
Defines the attributes of a choice box in the array declared by the
Choice(int "number_of_choices", Boolean "is_horizontal" = VIRTICAL)
constructor.
It must be called exactly "number_of_choices"
times. The first call specifies the first choice, second call specifies
the second choice, and so on. The attributes "origin" and "corner"
define a box area where the choice item is located on the screen. Other
attributes are self-explanatory. This call is particularly useful
on program setup pages.
\function{void disable(int index)}
Disables a choice box designated by "index". This means that the choice
can still be seen on the screen but can not be selected any more.
The hot key for the choice is rendered as in the normal text color rather
than in the highlight color. This call is often useful on a setup page,
where it is often necessary to have a few choices contingent upon
others, i.e., they are disabled first until the choices that they
depend upon have been initialized and then they are enabled again.
\function{void enable(int index)}
Enables a choice box designated by "index".
All choices are enabled when created.
\function{Boolean hasValue()}
Returns TRUE if the designated choice object has been selected at
least once. Graphically,
it means one of the choices is rendered in reverse colors. It is
sometimes necessary to check if all choice objects on a screen have
been selected, so that a program can go on to the next page of screen.
If a previous select() call is returned abnormally by pressing an ESC key,
this function will return FALSE. Should this occur, the previous
value, if any, will also be lost.
\function{int selectNext()}
Steps through each choice of the choice object in sequential order.
This function is often used in implementing parameter
initialization screens in a controlled order. The order that the
choices are steped through is the same as the order of the choice
array. This is operator is valid only for keyboard mode. If the
mouse is enabled, it behaves exactly as select().
\function{void setCurrent(int index)}
Resets the current (default) choice to the choice box indicated by
"index". The default choice is
set to the first choice box ("index" $=$ 0) when a choice object is created,
or the choice selected last time. This call can
change the default choice without having to select anything first. It will
affect the behavior of a selectNext() call.
\function{void reset()}
Erases the default choice and resets the internal pointers as if this
choice object had never been selected before.
\subtitle{Virtual \\ Operations}
\function{void action(int status)}
Defines the behaviors of the choice object when a choice handler
has been bonded to the object. This function is called by the
event handler when it detects that the choice object has been
selected. The default action is to do nothing if no choice handler
presents, otherwise, it invokes the choice handler
and passes it along with the current status
(whatever has been returned from a status() call).
Do not modify this function unless it is absolutely necessary because
it redefines the sematics of all choice objects.
\function{void bind(void \hbox{\rm (\*{\it handler})(int)})}
Associates a choice handler function with the choice object. Every
time this choice object is invoked, the choice handler is called
immediately.
The handler is passed along with the current "status"
(return value of status() call) as its argument. The default
action taken by the event handler can be modified by changing
the next function action().
\function{Boolean isSelected(Point cursor)}
Returns TRUE if a legal hot key is pressed for the
the indicated choice object. It also returns TRUE if
a mouse button is pressed within the range of the choice object area.
This call is used by the event handler to check if this choice object
has been selected. It is hardly needed in regular applications.
The "cursor" is for mouse cursor in mouse mode or faked with the
current keyboard input as the cursor's x coordinate.
\function{int select()}
Picks a choice from the choice object. If the mouse is not enabled,
the default choice (the one picked last time or the first one if
this is the first time this function is called) is displayed in
highlight colors. The arrow key can be used to move the
default choice. The ENTER key must be used to confirm the selection.
If the mouse is enabled,
this call checks if a mouse button has been pressed while the mouse
cursor is inside one of the choice boxes. The return value is the index
of the choice box selected.
A ESC key may be pressed
to leave the current select() call without actually selecting anything.
In this case, $-1$ will be returned.
Note: With no mouse enabled,
select() waits for either an Enter key or ESC key to return, whereas
with the mouse enabled, the return is immediate.
\function{int status()}
Returns the current choice index (the one in reverse color on the screen).
If there is no current choice (either it has not been selected or has
been reset) the return value is $-1$.
