Again, does this work with NEdit's Motif text fields, eg. in
the syntax highlighting dialog? Did the compile switch help?

6B offers a few hints about this problem, looks like it
should just work. Does this work with NEdit's Motif text
fields, eg. in the syntax highlighting dialog?

You could also compile NEdit with the NO_XMIM switch to fall
back to X11 methods. Does this help?

NEdit's text widget is a custom widget. I don't claim to
understand what you are trying to achive, but that is
probably the reason why it fails.

   Yes, you're right, but I do not expect it can display
wide characters (of course that's really great).
    It's quite strange that XmImMbLookupString return none,
you know, I simply replace XmIm functions with
XOpenXIM/XCreateIC/XmbLookupString fuctions, that works!
with a little bugs, I'm not good at programming:)
    So I want to know why XmImMbLookupString does not work?

NEdit only supports 8 bit character sets.
Support of wide characters would be a major project, and as
far as I know is not on the wish list.
