## Types and Values

### struct IBusLookupTable

    struct IBusLookupTable {
        guint page_size;
        guint cursor_pos;
        gboolean cursor_visible;
        gboolean round;
        gint orientation;

        GArray *candidates;
        GArray *labels;
    };

An IBusLookuptable stores the candidate words or phrases for users to choose from. Note that some input methods allow you to select candidate by pressing non-numeric keys such as "asdfghjkl;". Developers of these input methods should change the labels with `ibus_lookup_table_append_label()`.

#### Members

guint `page_size`; | number of candidate shown per page. |
guint `cursor_pos`; | position index of cursor. |
gboolean `cursor_visible`; | whether the cursor is visible. |
gboolean `round`; | TRUE for lookup table wrap around. |
gint `orientation`; | orientation of the table. |
GArray *`candidates`; | Candidate words/phrases. |
GArray *`labels`; | Candidate labels which identify individual candidates in the same page. Default is 1, 2, 3, 4 ... |
