XmbResetIC(3X11)

NAME
       XmbResetIC, XwcResetIC - reset the state of an input con-
       text

SYNTAX
       char * XmbResetIC(ic)
             XIC ic;

       wchar_t * XwcResetIC(ic)
             XIC ic;

ARGUMENTS
       ic        Specifies the input context.

DESCRIPTION
       When XNResetState is set to XIMInitialState, XmbResetIC
       and XwcResetIC 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 or
       XwcResetIC does not change the focus.

       The return value of XmbResetIC is its current preedit
       string as a multibyte 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.
