ETI panels

Fetching pointers to panel windows

Each panel has a low-level ETI window associated with it. To retrieve a pointer to this window, you use the function panel_window.

SYNOPSIS

   WINDOW panel_window(panel)
   PANEL panel;        /* Panel whose window pointer is
                               returned */

The function returns NULL if the panel pointer argument is NULL.

In general, you may use this returned pointer as an argument to any standard low-level (curses) routine that takes a pointer to a window as an argument. For example, you can insert a character c at a location y,x in a panel window with the function mvwinsch(win,y,x,c), where win is the window pointer returned by panel_window.

   WINDOW *win;
   PANEL *panel;
   int y, x;
   chtype c;
   
   win = panel_window(panel);
   mvwinsch(win,y,x,c);
