Status Area

A status area reports the input or keyboard status of the input method to the users. For OverTheSpot and OffTheSpot styles, the status area is located at the lower left corner of the VendorShell window.

• If Root style, the status area is placed outside the client window.

• If the preedit style is OffTheSpot mode, the preedit area is displayed to the right of the status area.

The VendorShell() widget provides geometry management so that a status area is rearranged at the bottom corner of the VendorShell window if the VendorShell window is resized.
