XmImSetValues(3X) UNIX System V XmImSetValues(3X)
NAME
XmImSetValues - An input manager function that updates
attributes of an input context
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/XmIm.h>
void XmImSetValues(
Widget widget,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount,
);
VERSION
This page documents Motif 2.1.
DESCRIPTION
XmImSetValues updates attributes of the input context
associated with the specified widget. The arglist argument
is a list of attribute/value pairs for the input context.
This function passes the attributes and values to
XICSetValues. The initial call to this routine should pass
in all of the input context attributes. Thereafter, the
application programmer calls XmImSetValues, for an XIC, only
if a value has changed.
If the previous parameters for the widget's XIC do not allow
the previously registered XIC to be reused, that XIC will be
unregistered, and a new one will be created and registered
with the widget. Note that sharing of data is preserved.
Note that the Text and TextField widgets call the
XmImSetValues function when they receive focus. Therefore,
further calls to the XmImSetValues function for these
widgets are unnecessary.
widget Specifies the ID of the widget registered with the
input manager
arglist Specifies the list of attribute/value pairs to be
passed to XICSetValues; the following attributes
are accepted:
XmNpreeditStartCallbackXmNpreeditDoneCallbackXmNpreeditDrawCallbackand
XmNpreeditCaretCallback. These attributes accept
an accompanying value of type pointer to structure
of type XIMCallback.
These callbacks are used only when the
XmNpreeditTyperesource of the relevant VendorShell
has the "onthespot" value, and that the XIM
supports XIMPreeditCallbacks input style. These
values are ignored if the condition is not met.

For each of these callbacks, if the callback value
is not set by this function, no action will be
taken when the Input Method tries to call this
callback. Refer to the "Xlib - C Language X
Interface, X Version 11, Release 6," Chapter 13
for the detail of these callbacks.
argcount Specifies the number of attribute/values pairs in
the argument list (arglist)
Resources that can be set for the input context include:
XmNbackground
Specifies the pixel value for the background
color.
XmNbackgroundPixmap
Specifies a pixmap for tiling the background.
XmNfontList
Specifies the font list used by the widget. The
input method uses the first occurrence of a font
set tagged with XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG. If no such
instance is found, the first font set in the font
list is used. If the font list does not contain a
font set, a value is not passed to XICSetValues.
XmNforeground
Specifies the pixel value for the foreground
color.
XmNlineSpace
Specifies the line spacing used in the pre-edit
window.
XmNrenderTable
Specifies the render table used by the widget.
XmNspotLocation
Specifies the x and y coordinates of the position
where text will be inserted in the widget handling
input, whose input method style is "OverTheSpot".
The ycoordinate is the position of the baseline
used by the current text line.
The caller may also pass any other vendor-defined resources
to this function. For additional information on the
internationalization interface, see the Xlib documentation.
