XmbResetIC(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XmbResetIC(3)

NAME

XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC, Xutf8ResetIC - reset the state of an input
context

SYNTAX

char *XmbResetIC(XIC ic);

wchar_t *XwcResetIC(XIC ic);

char *Xutf8ResetIC(XIC ic);

ARGUMENTS

ic Specifies the input context.

DESCRIPTION

When XNResetState is set to XIMInitialState, XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC
and Xutf8ResetIC reset an input context to its initial state; when
XNResetState is set to XIMPreserveState, the current input context
state is preserved. In both cases, any input pending on that context
is deleted. The input method is required to clear the preedit area,
if any, and update the status accordingly. Calling XmbResetIC,
XwcResetIC or Xutf8ResetIC does not change the focus.

The return value of XmbResetIC is its current preedit string as a
multibyte string. The return value of XwcResetIC is its current
preedit string as a wide character string. The return value of
Xutf8ResetIC is its current preedit string as an UTF-8 string. If
there is any preedit text drawn or visible to the user, then these
procedures must return a non-NULL string. If there is no visible
preedit text, then it is input method implementation-dependent
whether these procedures return a non-NULL string or NULL.

The client should free the returned string by calling XFree.

The function Xutf8ResetIC is an extension introduced by The XFree86
Project, Inc., in their 4.0.2 release. Its presence is indicated by
the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
