XHPGetEurasianCvt(3X) — Subroutines

Series 300 and 800 Only

NAME

XHPGetEurasianCvt − return the convert routine for Eurasian keyboards

SYNOPSIS

#include <X11/XHPlib.h> PFI
XHPGetEurasianCvt(display)
Display ∗display;

DESCRIPTION

XHPGetEurasianCvt will return the convert routine required by XHPConvertLookup to convert keysyms to HP character codes. The display argument is used to identify the keymap currently associated with the display structure.

Note that calling XHPGetEurasianCvt forces all convert routines for all character sets that correspond to HP keyboards to be linked with your code. If this is not desired, this routine should not be used.

Users of this routine will also want to perform initialization of the keyboard previous to its use in XHPConvertLookup. A macro has been provided that will do this. This macro, XHPInputInit, should be called as part of the initialization of any client making use XHPGetEurasianCvt.

RETURN VALUE

XHPGetEurasianCvt returns a pointer to the convert routine if it succeeds; it returns zero upon failure.

EXAMPLES

The following is an extract from an application that supports all the default character sets for HP’s Eurasian keyboards. The call to XHPConvertLookup converts a keyevent to a keysym, and then into a string of characters. The function returned by XHPGetEurasianCvt tells XHPConvertLookup into which HP character set the string is to be encoded.

Display ∗display;
XComposeStatus ∗status;
XHPInputInit(display, status);
.

.
count = XHPConvertLookup (event, buffer, nbytes, &keysym, status,
XHPGetEurasianCvt(display));
