SYNOPSIS

#include <form.h>
int post_form(FORM *form);
int unpost_form(FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION

The function post_form displays a form to its associated subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow, use refresh or some equivalent curses routine (the implicit doupdate triggered by an curses input request will do).

The function unpost_form erases form from its associated subwindow.

RETURN VALUE

These routines return one of the following: -->
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_POSTED
The form has already been posted.
E_BAD_STATE
Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
E_NO_ROOM
Form is too large for its window.
E_NOT_POSTED
The form has not been posted.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
No items are connected to the form.
