form_post(3X)                                                 form_post(3X)


   NAME
         formpost:  postform, unpostform - write or erase forms from
         associated subwindows

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <form.h>

         int postform(FORM *form);
         int unpostform(FORM *form);

   DESCRIPTION
         postform writes form into its associated subwindow.  The application
         programmer must use curses library routines to display the form on
         the physical screen or call updatepanels if the panels library is
         being used.

         unpostform erases form from its associated subwindow.

   RETURN VALUE
         These routines return one of the following:
         EOK            - The function returned successfully.
         ESYSTEMERROR  - System error.
         EBADARGUMENT  - An argument is incorrect.
         EPOSTED        - The form is posted.
         ENOTPOSTED    - The form is not posted.
         ENOROOM       - The form does not fit in the subwindow.
         EBADSTATE     - The routine was called from an initialization
                           or termination function.
         ENOTCONNECTED - The field is not connected to a form.

   NOTES
         The header file <form.h> automatically includes the header files
         <eti.h> and <curses.h>.
