NAME
XmCvtXmStringToCT -- A compound string function that converts a com-
pound string to compound text
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 result-
ing 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 Consor-
tium 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 regis-
tered 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.
