form_post(3X)    MISCELLANEOUS LIBRARY FUNCTIONS    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.

     These routines return one of the following:
     E_OK            - The function returned successfully.
     E_SYSTEM_ERROR  - System error.
     E_BAD_ARGUMENT  - An argument is incorrect.
     E_POSTED        - The form is posted.
     E_NOT_POSTED    - The form is not posted.
     E_NO_ROOM       - The form does not fit in the subwindow.
     E_BAD_STATE     - The routine was called from an initialization
                       or termination function.
     E_NOT_CONNECTED - The field is not connected to a form.

     files <eti.h> and <curses.h>.
