XmImGetXIM(3)		    Library Functions Manual		   XmImGetXIM(3)

NAME
     XmImGetXIM -- An input manager function that retrieves the input method as-
     sociated with a specified widget

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Xm/XmIm.h>
     XIM XmImGetXIM(
     Widget widget);

DESCRIPTION
     XmImGetXIM  retrieves  the XIM data structure representing the input method
     that the input manager has opened for the specified  widget.  If  an  input
     method  has  not  been opened by a previous call to XmImRegister, the first
     time this routine is called it opens an input method  using  the  XmNinput-
     Method  resource for the VendorShell. If the XmNinputMethod is NULL, an in-
     put method is opened using the current locale.  If it cannot open an  input
     method, the function returns NULL.

     widget    Specifies the ID of a widget registered with the input manager

RETURN
     Returns  the input method for the current locale associated with the speci-
     fied widget's input manager; otherwise, returns NULL.  The  application  is
     responsible for freeing the returned XIM by calling XmImCloseXIM.
