XmbResetIC 3X11 __xorgversion__ XLIB FUNCTIONS XmbResetIC XwcResetIC Xutf8ResetIC reset the state of an input context char *XmbResetIC ( XIC ic ); wchar_t *XwcResetIC ( XIC ic ); char *Xutf8ResetIC ( XIC ic ); ic Specifies the input context. 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 . XCreateIC(3X11), XOpenIM(3X11), XSetICFocus(3X11), XSetICValues(3X11) Xlib - C Language X Interface
