SYNOPSIS¶

ARGUMENTS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server, XkbSetNamedIndicator returns False. Otherwise, it sends a request to the X server to change the indicator specified by name and returns True. If change_state is True, and the optional parameter, state, is not NULL, XkbSetNamedIndicator tells the server to change the state of the named indicator to the value specified by state. If an indicator with the name specified by name does not already exist, the create_new parameter tells the server whether it should create a new named indicator. If create_new is True, the server finds the first indicator that doesn't have a name and gives it the name specified by name. If the optional parameter, map, is not NULL, XkbSetNamedIndicator tells the server to change the indicator's map to the values specified in map. In addition, it can also generate XkbIndicatorStateNotify, XkbIndicatorMapNotify, and XkbNamesNotify events.

RETURN VALUES¶

True

The XkbSetNamedIndicator function returns True if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is available in the server.

False

The XkbSetNamedIndicator function returns False if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server.
