XCreateIC(3X11)               X11 SDE 5.4R3.00               XCreateIC(3X11)


NAME
       XCreateIC, XDestroyIC, XIMOfIC - create, destroy, and obtain the
       input method of an input context

SYNTAX
       XIC XCreateIC(im, ...)
             XIM im;

       void XDestroyIC(ic)
             XIC ic;

       XIM XIMOfIC(ic)
             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 they are not provided.  Those
       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.
