66 The function <STRONG>set_form_fields</STRONG> changes the field pointer
67 array of the given <EM>form</EM>. The array must be terminated by
68 a <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
70 The function <STRONG>form_fields</STRONG> returns the field array of the
71 given form.
73 The function <STRONG>field_count</STRONG> returns the count of fields in
74 <EM>form</EM>.
76 The function <STRONG>move_field</STRONG> moves the given field (which must
77 be disconnected) to a specified location on the screen.
80 </PRE>
81 <H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
82 The function <STRONG>form_fields</STRONG> returns a pointer (which may be
83 <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>). It does not set errno.
85 The function <STRONG>field_count</STRONG> returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if the <EM>form</EM> parameter
86 is <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>.
88 The functions <STRONG>set_form_fields</STRONG> and <STRONG>move_field</STRONG> return one of
89 the following codes on error:
91 <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
93 <STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
94 Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
95 ment.
97 <STRONG>E_CONNECTED</STRONG>
98 The field is already connected to a form.
100 <STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
101 The form is already posted.
103 <STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
104 System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).

120 These routines emulate the System V forms library. They
121 were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
123 The SVr4 forms library documentation specifies the
124 <STRONG>field_count</STRONG> error value as -1 (which is the value of <STRONG>ERR</STRONG>).
