Amit Daniel Kachhape6a01f52011-07-20 11:45:59 +0530[diff] [blame]64 The function <STRONG>post_form</STRONG> displays a form to its associated
65 subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow,
66 use <STRONG>refresh</STRONG> or some equivalent <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routine (the
67 implicit <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> triggered by an <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input request
68 will do).
69
70 The function <STRONG>unpost_form</STRONG> erases form from its associated
