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 pre-
served. 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, XwcResetIC 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 XwcRe-
setIC 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 pro-
cedures must return a non-NULL string. If there is no
visible preedit text, then it is input method implementa-
tion-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 intro-
duced in XFree86 4.0.2. Its presence is indicated by the
macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
