translate the parameters into a printable representation,
log it on a "chr" line.

Use the DLG_TRACE macro for portability, in case the trace

It uses an extra level of parentheses to work with a variable number of
parameters, e.g.,
|
|
|
DLG_TRACE(("this is dialog version %s , dialog_version()));
|
|
dlg_trace_win |
|
If dialog_state.trace is set,

(if dialog_vars.item_help is set).
The initial selection state for each item is also in this list.
|
const char * states |
|
This is a list of characters to display for the given states.
Normally a buildlist provides true (1) and false (0) values,
which the widget displays as "*" and space, respectively.
An application may set this parameter to an arbitrary null-terminated string.
The widget determines the number of states from the length of this string,
and will cycle through the corresponding display characters as the user
presses the space-bar.
|
int * depths |
|
This is a list of depths of each item in the tree.
It is a separate parameter from items to allow reuse of

|
|
There are several optional features:
»

Unless dialog_vars.no_nl_expand is set,
»

If it has " substrings,
the function preserves extra spaces.
For instance, spaces following a newline (substring or character)
are preserved to use as an indentation.
|
»

|
|
»

If dialog_vars.no_nl_expand is not set,
or if there are no " substrings,
this function strips all extra spaces to simplify justification.
|
»
|
If dialog_vars.cr_wrap is set,
the function preserves ' newline characters.
Otherwise, each ' newline character is converted to a space.
|
»

Unless dialog_vars.nocollapse is set,
each tab character is converted to a space,
and sequences of blanks (space or tab) are reduced to a single space.
