IInputMethod2 (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
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.
Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
Implemented to create the windows and image list for the IM. |
|
Implemented to select the IM out of the software-based input panel window and to destroy the IM windows. |
|
Implemented to perform any initialization before the software-based input panel window is displayed. |
|
Implemented to perform any saving routines before the software-based input panel is hidden. |
|
Implemented to return information about the current IM to the operating system. |
|
Implemented to receive information about the size, placement, and docked status of the software-based input panel. |
|
Implemented to receive a pointer to an IIMCallback interface. An IM uses the IIMCallback interface to send keystrokes to applications and to change the icons on the Input Panel button. |
|
Implemented to send data from the current IM to the current application. |
|
Implemented to respond to an application's request to set IM-specific data within the IM. |
|
Implemented when the user requests that an IM-specific options dialog box be presented. |
|
Called whenever ImmSetActiveContext is called. The information received identifies the current state of the IME. |
|
Implemented to receive a pointer to an IIMCallback2 interface. An IM uses the IIMCallback2 interface to send keystrokes to applications and to change the icons on the Input Panel button. |
Remarks
An IM receives method calls in the following sequence before it is required to render the software-based input panel window space or to respond to user actions:
- Select
- GetInfo
- ReceiveSipInfo
- RegisterCallback
Requirements
| Header | sip.h |
| Library | uuid.lib |
| Windows Embedded CE | Windows CE 2.12 and later |
