Hello, Angus;
I'm back now and this is how far I've got:
1. Migration of XIC from flresource.c to forms.c is now complete (more or
less). If I remove stuffs in lyxim.C from CJK-LyX, I find
that precomposition of CJK-characters on both XWorkArea(main lyx window)
and the xform box become possible! I could confirm the XIC for XWorkArea
and that for xform box differ. However, I cannot find the appropriate
variables to set the position for the precomposition. I need the position
parameters similar to "bufferview->text->xpos" and the like as in lyx.
2. So I can input CJK-characters on xforms-box, but on XWorkArea, although
I can see the composed CJK-characters, they disappear as soon as I hit
the key "Space-bar".
3. Of course, to get the characters on the XWorkArea, I need your function,
"fl_get_composed_string". But I think your patch, "xforms.diff" needs your
close attention. After applying your patch I found inputting
CJK-characters on xforms-box as well as on XWorkArea became impossible! I
could see the composed CJK-characters as in "1" and "2" above, but they
disppeard as soon as I hit "Space bar". Even English characters could not
be inputted on XWorkArea (English on the forms-box was O.K.).
4. I found some partial resolution of the problem. Changing
"*ptr_keybuf = &keybuf;" to "*ptr_keybuf = keybuf;" enables me to input
English on the XWorkArea. Furthermore, removing the two lines,
"if (keysym == NoSymbol)" I could input CJK-characters on the XWorkArea!
return;
But in this case, the two keys, "Space bar" and the "back-space" do not
function at all.
5. I could not find any hack for inputting CJK-characters on the
xform-box.
I hope these inputs make you suggest another hints or resolutions for me
to work on.
Regards,
cghan
