You supply it with <I>field</I><B>_</B><I>check</I>, a - predicate to check the validity of an entered data string - whenever the user attempt to leave a field. The (FIELD *) - argument is passed in so the validation predicate can see - the field's buffer, sizes and other attributes; the second - argument is an argument-block structure, about which more - below. - - You also supply <B>new_fieldtype</B> with <I>char</I><B>_</B><I>check</I>, a function - to validate input characters as they are entered; it will - be passed the character to be checked and a pointer to an - argument-block structure. - - The function <B>free_fieldtype</B> frees the space allocated for - a given validation type. - - The function <B>set_fieldtype</B> associates three storage-man- - agement functions with a field type. The <I>mak</I><B>_</B><I>arg</I> function - is automatically applied to the list of arguments you give - <B>set_field_type</B> when attaching validation to a field; its - job is to bundle these into an allocated argument-block - object which can later be passed to validation predicated. - The other two hook arguments should copy and free argu- - ment-block structures. They will be used by the forms- - driver code. You must supply the <I>mak</I><B>_</B><I>arg</I> function, the - other two are optional, you may supply NULL for them. In - this case it is assumed, that <I>mak</I><B>_</B><I>arg</I> doesn't allocate - memory but simply loads the argument into a single scalar - value. - - The form driver requests <B>REQ_NEXT_CHOICE</B> and - <B>REQ_PREV_CHOICE</B> assume that the possible values of a field - form an ordered set, and provide the forms user with a way - to move through the set. The <B>set_fieldtype_choice</B> func- - tion allows forms programmers to define successor and pre- - decessor functions for the field type. These functions - take the field pointer and an argument-block structure as - arguments. - - -</PRE> -<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE> - The pointer-valued routines return NULL on error. - - The integer-valued routines return one of the following - codes on error: - - <B>E_OK</B> The routine succeeded. - - <B>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</B> - System error occurred (see <B>errno</B>). - - <B>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</B> - Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu- - ment. - - <B>E_CONNECTED</B> - The field is already connected to a form. - - -</PRE> -<H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE> - <B><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></B>, <B><A HREF="form.3x.html">form(3x)</A></B>. - - -</PRE> -<H2>NOTES</H2><PRE> - The header file <B><form.h></B> automatically includes the header - file <B><curses.h></B>. - - All of the <B>(char</B> <B>*)</B> arguments of these functions should - actually be <B>(void</B> <B>*)</B>.
