Functions
 
Name 
Description 
 
This function creates a GROUPBOX object with the parameters given. It automatically attaches the new object into a global linked list of objects and returns the address of the object. 
 
This function renders the object on the screen using the current parameter settings. Location of the object is determined by the left, top, right and bottom parameters. The colors used are dependent on the state of the object. The font used is determined by the style scheme set.
When rendering objects of the same type, each object must be rendered completely before the rendering of the next object is started. This is to avoid incomplete object rendering. 
 
This function sets the text used by passing the pointer to the static string. 
 
This function evaluates the message from a user if the message will affect the object or not. The table below enumerates the translated messages for each event of the touch screen inputs.
