XmbResetIC(3X11)						  XLIB FUNCTIONS						  XmbResetIC(3X11)

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

SYNTAX
       char * XmbResetIC(ic)
	     XIC ic;

       wchar_t * XwcResetIC(ic)
	     XIC ic;

       char * Xutf8ResetIC(ic)
	     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, XwcRe-
       setIC 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 XFree86 extension introduced in XFree86 4.0.2. Its presence is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
