1/6/2010

This function sets the characters, attributes, and clauses of the composition and reading strings.

Syntax

BOOL ImmSetCompositionString(
  HIMC hIMC, 
  DWORD dwIndex, 
  LPCVOID lpComp, 
  DWORD dwCompLen, 
  LPCVOID lpRead, 
  DWORD dwReadLen
);

Parameters

• hIMC
  [in] Handle to the input context.

• dwIndex
  [in] Value that specifies the type of information to set. This parameter can be one of one of the following values:

  Value	Description
  SCS_SETSTR	Sets the composition string, the reading string, or both. At least one of the lpComp and lpRead parameters must point to a valid string. If either string is too long, the IME truncates it.
  SCS_CHANGEATTR	Sets attributes for the composition string, the reading string, or both. At least one of the lpComp and lpRead parameters must point to a valid attribute array.
  SCS_CHANGECLAUSE	Sets the clause information for the composition string, the reading string, or both. At least one of the lpComp and lpRead parameters must point to a valid clause information array.

• lpComp
  [in] Long pointer to the buffer containing the information to set for the composition string. The information is as specified by the dwIndex value.

• dwCompLen
  [in] Size, in bytes, of the information buffer for the composition string.

• lpRead
  [in] Long pointer to the buffer containing the information to set for the reading string. The information is as specified by the dwIndex value.

• dwReadLen
  [in] Size, in bytes, of the information buffer for the reading string.

Return Value

Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure.

Remarks

When changing attributes, all characters in a clause must have the same attribute. Converted characters must be either ATTR_CONVERTED or ATTR_TARGET_CONVERTED; unconverted characters either ATTR_INPUT or ATTR_TARGET_NOTCONVERTED.

When changing clause information, only the target clause can be changed and only one boundary of the clause can be changed at a time. The target clause has the ATTR_TARGET_CONVERTED or ATTR_TARGET_NOTCONVERTED attribute.

When the IME completes the changes, it sends a WM_IME_COMPOSITION message to the application notifying it of the changes.
