# NAME
notcurses_multiselector - high level widget for selecting from a set
# SYNOPSIS
**#include <notcurses/notcurses.h>**
```c
struct ncinput;
struct ncplane;
struct notcurses;
struct ncmultiselector;
struct ncmselector_item {
char* option;
char* desc;
bool selected;
};
typedef struct ncmultiselector_options {
char* title; // title may be NULL, inhibiting riser
char* secondary; // secondary may be NULL
char* footer; // footer may be NULL
struct ncmselector_item* items; // initial items, statuses
// default item (selected at start)
unsigned defidx;
// maximum number of options to display at once
unsigned maxdisplay;
// exhaustive styling options
uint64_t opchannels; // option channels
uint64_t descchannels; // description channels
uint64_t titlechannels;// title channels
uint64_t footchannels; // secondary and footer channels
uint64_t boxchannels; // border channels
uint64_t bgchannels; // background channels for body
unsigned flags; // bitfield over NCMULTISELECTOR_OPTION_*
} ncmultiselector_options;
```
**struct ncmultiselector* ncmultiselector_create(struct ncplane* n, int y, int x, const ncmultiselector_options* opts);**
**int ncmultiselector_selected(bool* selected, unsigned n);**
**struct ncplane* ncmultiselector_plane(struct ncmultiselector* n);**
**bool ncmultiselector_offer_input(struct ncmultiselector* n, const struct ncinput* nc);**
**void ncmultiselector_destroy(struct ncmultiselector* n);**
# DESCRIPTION
# NOTES
Currently, the **ncplane** **n** provided to **ncmultiselector_create**
must not be **NULL**, though the **ncmultiselector** will always get its
own plane, and this plane will not (currently) be bound to **n**.
**ncmultiselector_selected** returns a bitmap corresponding to the
currently-selected options.
**ncmultiselector_plane** will return the **ncplane** on which the widget is
drawn.
While the **ncmultiselector** can be driven entirely by client code,
input can be run through **ncmultiselector_offer_input** to take
advantage of common controls. It will handle the up and down arrows,
along with PageUp and PageDown, and space to select/deselect options.
If the mouse is enabled, the mouse scrollwheel and mouse clicks on the scroll
arrows will be handled.
