form_field_opts - set and get field options
SYNOPSIS
#include <form.h>
int set_field_opts(FIELD *field, OPTIONS opts);
int field_opts_on(FIELD *field, OPTIONS opts);
int field_opts_off(FIELD *field, OPTIONS opts);
OPTIONS field_opts(const FIELD *field);
DESCRIPTION
The function set_field_opts sets all the given field's
option bits (field option bits may be logically-OR'ed
together).
The function field_opts_on turns on the given option bits,
and leaves others alone.
The function field_opts_off turns off the given option bits,
and leaves others alone.
The function field_opts returns the field's current option
bits.
The following options are defined (all are on by default):
O_VISIBLE
The field is displayed. If this option is off, display
of the field is suppressed.
O_ACTIVE
The field is visited during processing. If this option
is off, the field will not be reachable by navigation
keys. Please notice that an invisible field appears to
be inactive also.
O_PUBLIC
The field contents are displayed as data is entered.
O_EDIT
The field can be edited.
O_WRAP
Words that do not fit on a line are wrapped to the next
line. Words are blank-separated.
O_BLANK
The field is cleared whenever a character is entered at
the first position.
O_AUTOSKIP
Skip to the next field when this one fills.
