askm_radio()

Purpose

Generates radio buttons on a map. Obsolete from v 4.603 onwards

Syntax

askm_radio(int mapnr, int fieldnr, short *selected,
int low_field, int high_field, int flags);

Parameters

int mapnr

The number of the map to display the radio buttons

 

int fieldnr

The number of the current field

 

short *selected

Pointer to the number of the default selected radio button in the set; the first in the set is 0

 

int low_field

The lowest field number displayed as a radio button

 

int high_field

The highest field number displayed as a radio button

 

int flags

Specifies the display format, acting like the global variable scrn_flags

Description

The function askm_radio() creates a set of radio buttons in a DP4 map.

Each button in the set constitutes a field in the map. The low_field and high_field parameters determine the range of field numbers of the set.

One button must be specified as the default selection using the selected parameter. This is 0 if the lowest field is the default, 1 if the second and so on.

From v 4.603 the askm_radio() function has been discontinued. The terminal manager supports the use of radio-type buttons through its regular input routines, in which each button is assigned a field number.

Return values

None
