The following table shows the software-based input panel (SIP) interfaces, with a description of the purpose of each.
In This Section
- IIMCallback
An input method (IM) is given a pointer to this interface by the SIP through the IInputMethod interface. The IM calls the methods in IIMCallback to send keystrokes to the current application and to change the icon that displays on the Input Panel button.
- IIMCallback2
An input method (IM) is given a pointer to this interface by the SIP through the IInputMethod interface. The IM calls the methods in IIMCallback2 to send keystrokes to the current application and to change the icon that displays on the Input Panel button.
- IInputMethod
This interface is implemented by the input method (IM) component. The software-based input panel calls the methods of this interface to notify the IM of state changes and to request action and information from the IM. Because an IM is a callback interface, it is up to the developer to implement the following methods.
- IInputMethod2
This interface is implemented by the input method (IM) component. The software-based input panel calls the methods of this interface to notify the IM of state changes and to request action and information from the IM. Because an IM is a callback interface, it is up to the developer to implement the following methods.
- IIMCallbackEx
The input panel gives an input method a pointer to IIMCallbackEx through the IInputMethod interface. The input method (IM) calls the methods in IMCallback to send keystrokes to the current application and to change the icon that displays on the Input Panel button. The following table describes the methods in IIMCallBackEx.
- IInputMethodEx
IInputMethodEx is implemented by the input method (IM) component. The input panel calls the IInputMethodEx interfaces to notify the IM of state changes and to request action and information from the IM.
