XCreateIC(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XCreateIC(3X11)NAME
XCreateIC, XDestroyIC, XIMOfIC - create, destroy, and
obtain the input method of an input context
SYNTAX
XIC XCreateIC(im, ...)
XIM im;
void XDestroyIC(ic)
XIC ic;
XIM XIMOfIC(ic)
XIC ic;
ARGUMENTS
ic Specifies the input context.
im Specifies the input method.
... Specifies the variable length argument list to
set XIC values.
DESCRIPTION
The XCreateIC function creates a context within the speci-
fied input method.
Some of the arguments are mandatory at creation time, and
the input context will not be created if those arguments
are not provided. The mandatory arguments are the input
style and the set of text callbacks (if the input style
selected requires callbacks). All other input context
values can be set later.
XCreateIC returns a NULL value if no input context could
be created. A NULL value could be returned for any of the
following reasons:
o A required argument was not set.
o A read-only argument was set (for example,
XNFilterEvents).
o The argument name is not recognized.
o The input method encountered an input method imple-
mentation-dependent error.
The XCreateIC can generate BadAtom, BadColor, BadPixmap,
and BadWindow errors.
XDestroyIC destroys the specified input context.
The XIMOfIC function returns the input method associated
with the specified input context.
