Turning off im-module for purposed widget
Last modified: 2011-02-04 16:12:26 UTC
Package: gtk+ Severity: enhancement Version: GNOME2.0.1 2.0.6 Synopsis: API to turning off im-context for purposed widget Bugzilla-Product: gtk+ Bugzilla-Component: gtk Description: srufing on web, we frequently face a FORM to fill and there's usually a password endtry. it's implemented 'invisible char' at GtkEntry. but remains a problem with im modules; with im-hangul or other modules, GtkEntry try to compose string with typed sequences. then the FORM get commited string not raw sequences. but the password expected to save raw one. MS IE process password entry how exactly expected. while mozilla or galeon make trouble. I think GtkEntry should have an API to ignore im-context. and it's alse good for GtkWidget to have this API. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-10-26 18:04 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, gtk-bugs@gtk.org.
It's possible that we should just make not visible (password) entries force GtkIMCOntextSimple instead of adding an API. (Note that you aren't really asking for turning off im-context, since _all_ entry in GTK+, no matter what language, goes through GtkIMContext, you are asking to not use XIM or the Korean IM)
clear that. it's time to find the way to force im context simple :)
couldn't find API or public method to force simple im context. for example, im_context field of object struct is private. is that desirable just to set as follow? entry->im_context = gtk_im_context_simple_new ();
