form_hook - set hooks for automatic invocation by applications
#include <form.h>
int set_field_init(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
Form_Hook field_init(const FORM *form);
int set_field_term(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
Form_Hook field_term(const FORM *form);
int set_form_init(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
Form_Hook form_init(const FORM *form);
int set_form_term(FORM *form, Form_Hook func);
Form_Hook form_term(const FORM *form);
These functions make it possible to set hook functions to be called at
various points in the automatic processing of input event codes by
form_driver.
sets a hook to be called at form-post time and each time the selected
field changes (after the change).
returns the current field init hook, if any (NULL if there is no such
hook).
sets a hook to be called at form-unpost time and each time the selected
field changes (before the change).
returns the current field term hook, if any (NULL if there is no such
hook).
sets a hook to be called at form-post time and just after a page change
once it is posted.
returns the current form init hook, if any (NULL if there is no such
hook).
sets a hook to be called at form-unpost time and just before a page
change once it is posted.
returns the current form term hook, if any (NULL if there is no such
hook).
Routines that return pointers return NULL on error. Other routines
return one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno(3)).
The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header file
<curses.h>.
These routines emulate the System V forms library. They were not
supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
