NAME

XmImSetValues -- An input manager function that updates attributes of
an input context

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/XmIm.h>
void XmImSetValues(
Widget widget,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount,
);

DESCRIPTION

XmImSetValues updates attributes of the input context associated with
the specified widget. The arglist argument is a list of
attribute/value pairs for the input context. This function passes the
attributes and values to XICSetValues. The initial call to this
routine should pass in all of the input context attributes.
Thereafter, the application programmer calls XmImSetValues, for an
XIC, only if a value has changed.

If the previous parameters for the widget's XIC do not allow the
previously registered XIC to be reused, that XIC will be
unregistered, and a new one will be created and registered with the
widget. Note that sharing of data is preserved.

Note that the Text and TextField widgets call the XmImSetValues
function when they receive focus. Therefore, further calls to the
XmImSetValues function for these widgets are unnecessary.

widget Specifies the ID of the widget registered with the input
manager

arglist Specifies the list of attribute/value pairs to be passed to
XICSetValues; the following attributes are accepted:
XmNpreeditStartCallback XmNpreeditDoneCallback
XmNpreeditDrawCallback and XmNpreeditCaretCallback. These
attributes accept an accompanying value of type pointer to
structure of type XIMCallback.


These callbacks are used only when the XmNpreeditType
resource of the relevant VendorShell has the "onthespot"
value, and that the XIM supports XIMPreeditCallbacks input
style. These values are ignored if the condition is not
met.


For each of these callbacks, if the callback value is not
set by this function, no action will be taken when the
Input Method tries to call this callback. Refer to the
"Xlib - C Language X Interface, X Version 11, Release 6,"
Chapter 13 for the detail of these callbacks.

argcount Specifies the number of attribute/values pairs in the
argument list (arglist)

Resources that can be set for the input context include:

XmNbackground
Specifies the pixel value for the background color.

XmNbackgroundPixmap
Specifies a pixmap for tiling the background.

XmNfontList
Specifies the font list used by the widget. The input
method uses the first occurrence of a font set tagged with
XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG. If no such instance is found, the
first font set in the font list is used. If the font list
does not contain a font set, a value is not passed to
XICSetValues.

XmNforeground
Specifies the pixel value for the foreground color.

XmNlineSpace
Specifies the line spacing used in the pre-edit window.

XmNrenderTable
Specifies the render table used by the widget.

XmNspotLocation
Specifies the x and y coordinates of the position where
text will be inserted in the widget handling input, whose
input method style is "OverTheSpot". The y coordinate is
the position of the baseline used by the current text line.

The caller may also pass any other vendor-defined resources to this
function. For additional information on the internationalization
interface, see the Xlib documentation.
