I know some people like that. > In gtkimcontextsimple.c there is a variable "global_context_id" This is actually in gtkimmulticontext.c, which handles the right-click menu of all input methods. However, it is a static variable, so it can not be used from any other file or library. Did you manage to actually change this variable somehow, without patching GTK+ itself? > which > maintains the input method of gtk. Setting that to "myinputmethod" > will help you have it as default.

I guess you are somehow managing to do this by doing it in the module itself, which might be OK because the symbol would not be linked until the input module was loaded. However, this would force the use of the input method by default for all widgets and all applications. I can do that more simply by just using "*" for the locale in the GtkIMContextInfo struct when the input method registers itself. But I would like for the application to choose the input method for some widgets at runtime. > >For instance, I've tried > >export GTK_IM_MODULE="myinputmethod";gtk-demo > > > >Also, is there any way to change this at runtime, with a C function > >call? -- Murray Cumming murrayc@xxxxxxxxxxx www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
