XmCvtXmStringToCT(3)

NAME

   XmCvtXmStringToCT --- A compound string function that converts a compound
   string to compound text "XmCvtXmStringToCT" "compound string functions"
   "XmCvtXmStringToCT"

SYNOPSIS

   #include <Xm/Xm.h>
   char * XmCvtXmStringToCT(
   XmString string);

DESCRIPTION

   XmCvtXmStringToCT  converts  a  compound string to a (char *) string in
   compound text format.  The application must call XtAppInitialize before
   calling this function.  The converter uses the font list tag associated
   with a given compound string segment to select a compound  text  format
   for  that segment.  A registry defines a mapping between font list tags
   and compound text encoding formats.  The converter uses  the  following
   algorithm for each compound string segment:

      1. If    the    compound   string   segment   tag   is   mapped   to
         XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG in the registry, the converter passes  the
         text  of the compound string segment to XmbTextListToTextProperty
         with  an  encoding  style  of  XCompoundTextStyle  and  uses  the
         resulting compound text for that segment.

      2. If the compound string segment tag is mapped to an MIT registered
         charset in the registry, the converter creates the compound  text
         for  that  segment  using the charset (from the registry) and the
         text  of  the  compound  string  segment  as  defined  in  the  X
         Consortium Standard Compound Text Encoding.

      3. If  the compound string segment tag is mapped to a charset in the
         registry  that  is  neither  XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG  nor  an  MIT
         registered  charset,  the converter creates the compound text for
         that segment using the charset (from the registry) and  the  text
         of  the  compound  string segment as an "extended segment" with a
         variable number of octets per character.

      4. If the compound string segment tag is not mapped in the registry,
         the result is implementation dependent.

   string    Specifies a compound string to be converted to compound text.

RETURN

   Returns  a  (char  *)  string  in compound text format.  This format is
   described in the X Consortium Standard  Compound  Text  Encoding.   The
   function  allocates space to hold the returned string.  The application
   is responsible for managing the allocated space.  The  application  can
   recover the allocated space by calling XtFree.
