XmbResetIC(3)             XLIB FUNCTIONS            XmbResetIC(3)



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 XIMPreserveS-
       tate, 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 XmbRe-
       setIC, 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 extension introduced by
       The XFree86 Project, Inc. in their 4.0.2 release. Its
       presence is indicated by the macro X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING.
