NAME
XmImGetXIC -- An input manager function that obtains an XIC for a widget
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/XmIm.h>
XIC XmImGetXIC(
Widget widget,
XmInputPolicy input_policy,
ArgList args,
Cardinal num_args);
DESCRIPTION
XmImGetXIC creates and registers an X Input Context (XIC) with the specified arguments for widget. If XmINHERIT_POLICY is specified for
input_policy, a new XIC will be created only if required to by the arguments or by the VendorShell input policy. Any existing XIC regis-
tered with widget is unregistered.
Refer to the VendorShell reference page for further details.
widget Specifies the ID of a widget for which an Input Context is to be created.
input_policy
Specifies the type of input policy. It accepts the following values:
XmINHERIT_POLICY
Inherits the policy from VendorShell.
XmPER_WIDGET
Creates a new XIC for this widget.
XmPER_SHELL
Creates a new XIC for the shell, if needed.
args Specifies an XtArgList parameter to use for creating the XIC.
num_args Specifies the number of arguments in the args parameter.
RETURN
Returns the created XIC. The application is responsible for freeing the returned XIC by calling XmImFreeXIC.

NAME
XmImMbLookupString -- An input manager function that retrieves a composed string from an input method
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/XmIm.h>
int XmImMbLookupString(
Widget widget,
XKeyPressedEvent *event,
char *buffer_return,
int bytes_buffer,
KeySym *keysym_return,
int *status_return);
DESCRIPTION
XmImMbLookupString returns a string composed in the locale associated with the widget's input method and a KeySym that is currently mapped
to the keycode in a KeyPress event. The KeySym is obtained by using the standard interpretation of Shift, Lock and Group modifiers as
defined in the X Protocol specification.
An XIM will be created, but an XIC will not be created. One of the functions, XmImSetValues, XmImVaSetValues, or XmImGetXIC, needs to be
called to create an XIC.
widget Specifies the ID of the widget registered with the input manager
event Specifies the key press event
buffer_return
Specifies the buffer in which the string is returned
bytes_buffer
Specifies the size of the buffer in bytes
keysym_return
Specifies a pointer to the KeySym returned if one exists
status_return
Specifies the status values returned by the function. These status values are the same as those for the XmbLookupString function.
The possible status values are:
XBufferOverflow
The size of the buffer was insufficient to handle the returned string. The contents of buffer_return and keysym_return
are not modified. The required buffer size is returned as a value of the function. The client should repeat the call
with a larger buffer size to receive the string.
XLookupNone
No consistent input was composed. The contents of buffer_return and keysym_return are not modified and the function
returns a value of 0.
XLookupChars
Some input characters were composed and returned in buffer_return. The content of keysym_return is not modified. The
function returns the length of the string in bytes.
XLookupKeysym
A keysym value was returned instead of a string. The content of buffer_return is not modified and the function returns
a value of 0.
XLookupBoth
A keysym value and a string were returned. The keysym value may not necessarily correspond to the string returned. The
function returns the length of the string in bytes.
RETURN
Return values depend on the status returned by the function. Refer to the description of status values above.
