NAME

       XmCvtXmStringToCT - A compound string function that converts a compound string to compound text

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

       char * XmCvtXmStringToCT (string)
	       XmString string;

DESCRIPTION

       XmCvtXmStringToCT converts a compound string to a (char *) string in compound text format. The application must call XtAppInitialize before
       calling this function. The converter uses the font list tag associated with a given compound string segment to select a compound text  for-
       mat  for  that segment. A registry defines a mapping between font list tags and compound text encoding formats. The converter uses the fol-
       lowing algorithm for each compound string segment: If the compound string segment tag is mapped to XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG in the  registry,
       the  converter passes the text of the compound string segment to XmbTextListToTextProperty with an encoding style of XCompoundTextStyle and
       uses the resulting compound text for that segment.  If the compound string segment tag is mapped to an MIT registered charset in  the  reg-
       istry,  the  converter creates the compound text for that segment using the charset (from the registry) and the text of the compound string
       segment as defined in the X Consortium Standard Compound Text Encoding.	If the compound string segment tag is mapped to a charset  in  the
       registry  that  is  neither  XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG nor an MIT registered charset, the converter creates the compound text for that segment
       using the charset (from the registry) and the text of the compound string segment as an "extended segment" with a variable number of octets
       per character.  If the compound string segment tag is not mapped in the registry, the result is implementation dependent.  Specifies a com-
       pound string to be converted to compound text.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a (char *) string in compound text format. This format is described in the X Consortium Standard Compound Text Encoding.
