NAME
XmCvtXmStringToCT -- A compound string function that converts a compound string to compound text SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> char * XmCvtXmStringToCT( 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 format for that segment. A registry defines a mapping between font list tags and compound text encoding formats. The converter uses the following algorithm for each compound string segment: 1. 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. 2. If the compound string segment tag is mapped to an MIT registered charset in the registry, 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. 3. If the compound string segment tag is mapped to a charset in the registry that is neither XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG nor an MIT regis- tered 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. 4. If the compound string segment tag is not mapped in the registry, the result is implementation dependent. string Specifies a compound string to be converted to compound text. RETURN
Returns a (char *) string in compound text format. This format is described in the X Consortium Standard Compound Text Encoding. The function allocates space to hold the returned string. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling XtFree. RELATED

NAME
XmStringGenerate -- A convenience function that generates a compound string SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> XmString XmStringGenerate( XtPointer text, XmStringTag tag, XmTextType type, XmStringTag rendition); DESCRIPTION
XmStringGenerate calls the XmStringParseText function with a default parse table of entries consisting of '', which maps to Separator, and '', which maps to Tab. Matching RENDITION_BEGIN and RENDITION_END components containing rendition are placed around the resulting XmString. text Specifies a NULL-terminated string containing characters of a type determined by type. tag Specifies the tag to be used in creating the result. The type of tag created (charset or locale) depends on the text type and the value given. If specified value is NULL, and type indicates that a charset tag should be created, then the tag will have the value of XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG. If tag is NULL, and type indicates a locale tag, then the tag will have the value of _MOTIF_DEFAULT_LOCALE. type Specifies the type of text to be passed in, and the tag type. If a locale tag should be created, then type has a value of either XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT or XmWIDECHAR_TEXT. If a charset should be created, type has a value of XmCHARSET_TEXT. rendition Specifies the rendition tag to be used in an XmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_BEGIN component which will begin the returned string and in an XmSTRING_COMPONENT_RENDITION_END component which will end it. If rendition is NULL, no rendition tag is placed. RETURN
Returns a new compound string. The function will allocate space to hold the returned compound string. When the application no longer needs the returned compound string, the application should call XmStringFree. RELATED
