XmbResetIC(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XmbResetIC(3X11)
NAME
XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC, Xutf8ResetIC - reset the state of an
input context
SYNTAX
char *XmbResetIC(XIC ic);
wchar_t *XwcResetIC(XIC ic);
char *Xutf8ResetIC(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,
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 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.
