A few of more CDK questions

[Kevin Monceaux]

CDK Fans,

I have a few more CDK questions.

Is there a way to set a field to "auto tab" when using traverseCDKScreen, 
so that when one fills a field the cursor jumps to the next field?

Is there a way to have a field's fillerCharacter displayed with the 
fieldAttribute attributes?  I've found the setCDKEntryBackgroundAttrib 
function, but that also affects the field's label.  For example, on 
displays that are capable of displaying underlined text, I might want the 
actual data entry field to be underlined, but not the field's label.  I've 
achieved the desired effect with something like:

   name      = newCDKEntry (cdkscreen,
                5, 6,
                NULL,
                "</B/24>Name:<!24>     ",
                A_BOLD|A_UNDERLINE|COLOR_PAIR(56), '_', vMIXED,
                50, 0, 50,
                FALSE, FALSE);

   setCDKEntryBackgroundAttrib(name, COLOR_PAIR(56));

I'm just wondering if there's a better way to achieve the same thing.

Can CDK handle accented, or other unicode, characters.  I have 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in my environment.  If I try to type an accented 
character, such as á, in a field it appears as two boxes instead of the 
intended character.  I've tried with the program linked against libncurses 
and libncursesw and get the same results either way.
