XCreateIC(3X11)		       XLIB FUNCTIONS		      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 those arguments are not provided.  The mandatory
  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.

  BadColor  A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.

  BadPixmap A value for a Pixmap argument does not name a defined Pixmap.

  BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
