form_post(3X)                     SDK R4.11                    form_post(3X)


NAME
       form_post:  post_form, unpost_form - write or erase forms from
       associated subwindows

SYNOPSIS
       #include <form.h>

       int post_form(FORM *form);
       int unpost_form(FORM *form);

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

       unpost_form erases form from its associated subwindow.

RETURN VALUE
       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.

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