NAME
XCreateIC, XDestroyIC, XIMOfIC - create, destroy, and obtain the input method of
an input context
SYNTAX
XIC
XCreateIC(XIM im, ...);
void
XDestroyIC(XIC ic);
XIM
XIMOfIC(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 specified 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:
- •
- A required argument was not set.
- •
- A read-only argument was set (for example,
XNFilterEvents).
- •
- The argument name is not recognized.
- •
- The input method encountered an input method
implementation-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.
DIAGNOSTICS
- BadAtom
- A value for an Atom argument does not name a defined
Atom.
- BadColor
- A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined
Colormap.
- BadPixmap
- A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined
Pixmap.
- BadWindow
- A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
Window.
