xmblookupstring

XmbLookupString()														 XmbLookupString()

Name
  XmbLookupString - obtain composed multi-byte input from an input method.

Synopsis
  int XmbLookupString(ic, event, buffer_return, bytes_buffer, keysym_return, status_return)
	XIC ic;
	XKeyPressedEvent *event;
	char *buffer_return;
	int bytes_buffer;
	KeySym *keysym_return;
	Status *status_return;

Arguments
  ic	      Specifies the input context.

  event       Specifies the keypress event to be used.

  buffer_return
	      Returns a multibyte string (if any) from the input method.

  bytes_buffer
	      Specifies the number of bytes in the return buffer.

  keysym_return
	      Returns the KeySym computed from the event if this argument is not NULL.

  status_return
	      Returns a value indicating what kind of data is returned.

Returns
  Number of characters in the string in bytes_buffer.

Availability
  Release 5 and later.

Description
  XmbLookupString()  passes a KeyPress event to an input context, returns composed text in the encoding of the locale of the input context if
  any is ready, and may return a keysym corresponding to the KeyPress event as well.

  There are several possible results of a call to XmbLookupString(), and a client should check the value returned in the status_return	argu-
  ment to determine which has occurred.  The possible values are:

  XBufferOverflow
	    The input string to be returned is too large for the supplied buffer_return.  The required size in bytes is returned as the value
	    of the function, and the contents of buffer_return and keysym_return are not modified.  The client should  re-call	the  function
	    with the same event and a buffer of adequate size in order to obtain the string.

  XLookupNone
	    No consistent input has been composed so far.  The contents of buffer_return and keysym_return are not modified, and the function
	    returns zero.

  XLookupChars
	    Some input characters have been composed.  They are placed in the buffer_return argument, and the string length  is  returned  as
	    the  value	of  the function.  The string is encoded in the locale bound to the input context.  The contents of the keysym_return
	    argument is not modified.

  XLookupKeySym
	    A KeySym has been returned instead of a string and is returned in keysym_return.  The contents of the buffer_return  argument  is
	    not modified, and the function returns zero.

  XLookupBoth
	    Both a KeySym and a string are returned; XLookupChars and XLookupKeySym occur simultaneously.

  When	XmbLookupString() returns a string, the return value of the function is the length in bytes of that string.  The returned string is a
  multi-byte string in the encoding of the locale of the input context.  If that encoding is state-dependent, the string begins in  the  ini-
  tial state of the encoding.

  When	both a keysym and a string are returned, the string does not necessarily correspond to the keysym.  An application that is not inter-
  ested in return keysyms can pass a NULL keysym_return.

  Note that only KeyPress events should be passed to XmbLookupString().  When KeyRelease events are passed, the resulting behavior  is	unde-
  fined.   It does not make any difference if the input context passed as an argument to XmbLookupString() is the one currently in possession
  of the focus or not.	Input may have been composed within an input context before it lost the focus, and that input may be returned on sub-
  sequent calls to XmbLookupString() even though it no longer has any more keyboard focus.
