Input Contexts
internationalized text input properties.
A #GdkIC input context is used for each user interface element which supports
internationalized text input. See the
Input Methods section for an overview
of how internationalized text input works in GTK+.
The #GdkIC struct is an opaque structure representing an input context
for use with the global Input Method.
Creates a new #GdkIC using the given attributes.
@attr: a #GdkICAttr struct containing attributes to use for the input context.
@mask: a #GdkICAttributesType mask specifying which of the attributes in @attr
are set.
@Returns: a new #GdkIC.
Destroys the input context.
@ic: a #GdkIC.
Returns the mask of events that the input method needs to function properly.
This is typically called in a widget's realize method after creating the
#GdkIC. The returned event mask is then combined with the widget's
own event mask and applied using gdk_window_set_events().
@ic: a #GdkIC.
@Returns: the mask of events that the input method needs to function
properly.
Returns the pre-edit and status style of the #GdkIC.
@ic: a #GdkIC.
@Returns: the pre-edit and status style of the #GdkIC.
Gets attributes of a #GdkIC.
@ic: a #GdkIC.
@attr: a #GdkICAttr struct to contain the returned attributes.
@mask: a #GdkICAttributesType mask specifying which attributes to get.
@Returns: a #GdkICAttributesType mask specifying which of the attributes
were not retrieved succesfully.
Sets attributes of the #GdkIC.
Note that the GDK_IC_STYLE and GDK_IC_CLIENT_WINDOW attributes can only be set
when creating the #GdkIC, and the GDK_IC_FILTER_EVENTS attribute is read-only.
@ic: a #GdkIC.
@attr: a #GdkICAttr struct containing attributes to use for the input context.
@mask: a #GdkICAttributesType mask specifying which of the attributes in @attr
are set.
@Returns: a #GdkICAttributesType mask indicating which of the attributes
were not set successfully.
The #GdkICAttr struct is used when getting and setting attributes of the
input context. It is used together with a #GdkICAttributesType mask which
specifies which of the fields are being set or returned.
@style: the pre-edit and status style. This attribute is required when
creating the #GdkIC, and cannot be changed.
@client_window: the #GdkWindow in which the input method will display its
pre-edit and status areas or create subwindows.
The preedit_area and status_area attributes are specified relative to this
window. This attribute is required when creating the #GdkIC, and cannot be
changed.
@focus_window: the #GdkWindow which is to be used when editing text.
gdk_im_begin() sets this attribute before starting the text input process,
so it is normally not necessary to set it elsewhere.
@filter_events: the mask of events that the input method requires.
See the gdk_ic_get_events() function. This attribute is read-only and is
never changed.
@spot_location: the position of the insertion cursor, for use with the
%GDK_IM_PREEDIT_POSITION style. The y coordinate specifies the baseline of
the text.
@line_spacing: the line spacing to be used in the pre-edit and status areas
when displaying multi-line text.
@cursor: the cursor to use in the input method's windows.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@preedit_fontset: the font to use for the pre-edit area.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@preedit_area: the area in which the input method will display pre-editing
data, used for the %GDK_IM_PREEDIT_POSITION and %GDK_IM_PREEDIT_AREA styles.
@preedit_area_needed: the area that the input method requests for displaying
pre-editing data, used for the %GDK_IM_PREEDIT_POSITION and
%GDK_IM_PREEDIT_AREA styles.
@preedit_foreground: the foreground color to use for the pre-edit area.
This color must already be allocated in the preedit_colormap.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@preedit_background: the background color to use for the pre-edit area.
This color must already be allocated in the preedit_colormap.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@preedit_pixmap: the background pixmap to use for the pre-edit area.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@preedit_colormap: the colormap the input method should use to allocate colors.
The default value is the colormap of client_window.
@status_fontset: the font to use for the status area.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@status_area: the are that the input method will display status information in.
This is used for the %GDK_IM_STATUS_AREA style.
@status_area_needed: the size that the input method requests for displaying
status information, for the %GDK_IM_STATUS_AREA style.
@status_foreground: the foreground color to use for the status area.
This color must already be allocated in the status_colormap.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@status_background: the background color to use for the status area.
This color must already be allocated in the status_colormap.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@status_pixmap: the background pixmap to use for the status area.
If this attribute isn't set it is determined by the input method.
@status_colormap: the colormap the input method should use to allocate colors.
The default value is the colormap of client_window.
The #GdkICAttributesType contains a set of bit-flags which are used to
specify which of the attributes in a #GdkICAttr are being set or returned.
It also contains several combinations of the flags which specify required
attributes for the various styles:
%GDK_IC_ALL_REQ:
the set of attributes required for all styles.
%GDK_IC_PREEDIT_AREA_REQ:
the set of additional attributes required for the
%GDK_IM_PREEDIT_AREA pre-edit style.
%GDK_IC_PREEDIT_POSITION_REQ:
the set of additional attributes required for the
%GDK_IM_PREEDIT_POSITION pre-edit style.
%GDK_IC_STATUS_AREA_REQ:
the set of additional attributes required for the
%GDK_IM_STATUS_AREA status style.

longer needed.
