XmbResetIC(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XmbResetIC(3)
NAME
XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC, Xutf8ResetIC - reset the state of an input con-
text
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 XNReset-
State 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 up-
date the status accordingly. Calling XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC or Xutf8Re-
setIC does not change the focus.
The return value of XmbResetIC is its current preedit string as a multi-
byte 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 extension introduced by The XFree86
Project, Inc., in their 4.0.2 release. Its presence is indicated by the
macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
