Users who wish to select from among multiple input servers
available on a system may set the input method modifier. This can
be set using the XmNinputMethod
resource for Motif 1.2 applications, or the XMODIFIERS
environment variable for non-Motif 1.2 applications. If the value
is _HPNLIO, then use of an NLIO-style input method is indicated.
This is also the default if no value is specified. If the value
of the input method modifier is _XIM_INPUTMETHOD,
then an attempt is made to connect to a server using the Xsi input
method protocol. If the modifier begins with _XIMP,
then an attempt is made to connect to the input method using the
Ximp protocol string for connecting to the input method. The following
Ximp string is used to determine language and codeset. If the character
"#" is encountered in the modifier string, this is changed to "@"
to allow connection with input servers on remote machines. To find
out what input methods are available on your system, talk to your
system administrator.
In general, the capabilities provided by XOpenIM,
XCreateIC, XmbLookupString,
etc. should replace the functionality provided by XHPConvertLookup
and its associated routines. Application developers are encouraged
to use these new routines. Support for XHPConvertLookup
etc. is provided to assure backward compatibility for existing applications
and will be removed from the library in the next major release of
HP-UX.
In addition to the IC values that are part of the X Windows
System standard, HP supports the following additional IC value:
Title not available (Use of Asian Input Method Servers )
- XNHPNlioctl
This value is a write-only IC value which performs
any of the operations supported as part of XHPNlioctl.
The argument passed to XSetICValues
is of type XhpNlioCmd.
cmd is the element
used as the cmd
argument for XHPNlioctl,
arg is the arg
element, and ret
is the return value. Setting this IC value is equivalent to calling
XHPNlioctl. It
should be used when the programmer is using IC's to control input.
