Detailed Description

       Input method support on window systems.

       The input driver minput_gui_driver is provided for internal input methods that is useful
       on window systems. It displays preedit text and status text at the inputting spot. See the
       documentation of minput_gui_driver for more details.

       In the m17n-X library, the foreign input method of name Mxim is provided. It uses XIM (X
       Input Method) as a background input engine. The symbol Mxim has a property Minput_driver
       whose value is a pointer to the input driver minput_xim_driver. See the documentation of
       minput_xim_driver for more details.

Data Structure Documentation

   MInputGUIArgIC
       Type of the argument to the function minput_create_ic().

       FIELD DOCUMENTATION:

       MFrame* MInputGUIArgIC::frame Frame of the client.

       MDrawWindow MInputGUIArgIC::client Window on which to display the preedit and status text.

       MDrawWindow MInputGUIArgIC::focus Window that the input context has a focus on.

   MInputXIMArgIM
       Structure pointed to by the argument arg of the function minput_open_im().

       FIELD DOCUMENTATION:

       Display* MInputXIMArgIM::display The meaning of the following four members are the same as
       arguments to XOpenIM().
        Display of the client.

       XrmDatabase MInputXIMArgIM::db Pointer to the X resource database.

       char* MInputXIMArgIM::res_class Full class name of the application.

       char* MInputXIMArgIM::res_name Full resource name of the application.

       char* MInputXIMArgIM::locale Locale name under which an XIM is opened.

       char* MInputXIMArgIM::modifier_list Arguments to XSetLocaleModifiers().

   MInputXIMArgIC
       Structure pointed to by the argument arg of the function minput_create_ic().

       FIELD DOCUMENTATION:

       XIMStyle MInputXIMArgIC::input_style Used as the arguments of XCreateIC following
       XNInputStyle. If this is zero, ( XIMPreeditNothing | XIMStatusNothing) is used, and
       <preedit_attrs> and <status_attrs> are set to NULL.

       Window MInputXIMArgIC::client_win Used as the argument of XCreateIC following
       XNClientWindow.

       Window MInputXIMArgIC::focus_win Used as the argument of XCreateIC following
       XNFocusWindow.

       XVaNestedList MInputXIMArgIC::preedit_attrs If non- NULL, used as the argument of
       XCreateIC following XNPreeditAttributes.

       XVaNestedList MInputXIMArgIC::status_attrs If non- NULL, used as the argument of XCreateIC
       following XNStatusAttributes.

Variable Documentation

   MInputDriver minput_gui_driver
       Input driver for internal input methods on window systems. The input driver
       minput_gui_driver is for internal input methods to be used on window systems.

       It creates sub-windows for a preedit text and a status text, and displays them at the
       input spot set by the function minput_set_spot().

       The macro M17N_INIT() set the variable minput_driver to the pointer to this driver so that
       all internal input methods use it.

       Therefore, unless minput_driver is changed from the default, the driver dependent
       arguments to the functions whose name begin with minput_ must are treated as follows.

       The argument arg of the function minput_open_im() is ignored.

       The argument arg of the function minput_create_ic() must be a pointer to the structure
       MInputGUIArgIC. See the documentation of MInputGUIArgIC for more details.

       If the argument key of function minput_filter() is Mnil, the argument arg must be a
       pointer to the object of type XEvent. In that case, key is generated from arg.

       The argument arg of the function minput_lookup() must be the same one as that of the
       function minput_filter().

   MSymbol Mxim
       Symbol of the name 'xim'. The variable Mxim is a symbol of name 'xim'. It is a name of the
       input method driver minput_xim_driver.
