Yes, though the code actually looks like this, in GtkEntry: entry->im_context = gtk_im_multicontext_new (); It doesn't (and couldn't) access global_context_id directly, but global_context_id is used by gtk_im_multicontext_new(). > > Did you manage to actually change this variable somehow, without > > patching GTK+ itself? > > I have changed this variable by assigning it my module name (as > suggested in prev mail) statically before compiling.

For instance, with a keyboard that has only numbers, I'd like text-input GtkEntry widgets to use my multipress method to enter alphanumeric text, but number-entry GtkEntry widgets should use the normal input method to enter numeric digits. I think I'll have to add some API to GTK+ for this. -- 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
