input events to it through <STRONG>menu_driver</STRONG>. This routine has
three major input cases:
- - The input is a form navigation request. Navigation
- request codes are constants defined in <STRONG><form.h></STRONG>, which
- are distinct from the key- and character codes returned
- by <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG>.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> The input is a form navigation request. Navigation

- - The input is a printable character. Printable charac-
- ters (which must be positive, less than 256) are
- checked according to the program's locale settings.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> The input is a printable character. Printable charac-

- - The input is the KEY_MOUSE special key associated with

+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> The input is the KEY_MOUSE special key associated with

The menu driver requests are as follows:
If the second argument is the KEY_MOUSE special key, the
associated mouse event is translated into one of the above
pre-defined requests. Currently only clicks in the user
- window (e.g. inside the menu display area or the decora-
+ window (e.g., inside the menu display area or the decora-
tion window) are handled.
If you click above the display region of the menu:

+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_SCR_ULINE is generated for a single click,
- a REQ_SCR_UPAGE is generated for a double-click and
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_SCR_UPAGE is generated for a double-click and
- a REQ_FIRST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_FIRST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.
If you click below the display region of the menu:
- a REQ_SCR_DLINE is generated for a single click,
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_SCR_DLINE is generated for a single click,
- a REQ_SCR_DPAGE is generated for a double-click and
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_SCR_DPAGE is generated for a double-click and
- a REQ_LAST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> a REQ_LAST_ITEM is generated for a triple-click.
If you click at an item inside the display area of the
menu:
- - the menu cursor is positioned to that item.
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> the menu cursor is positioned to that item.
- - If you double-click an item a REQ_TOGGLE_ITEM is
- generated and <STRONG>E_UNKNOWN_COMMAND</STRONG> is returned.
- This return value makes sense, because a double
- click usually means that an item-specific action
- should be returned. It is exactly the purpose
- of this return value to signal that an applica-
- tion specific command should be executed.
