InputMethodEditor IME

Hello,

I'm trying to write my own triple tap input method editor (IME). As a
starting point i use the freely available source code of the SmartPhone
PhoneIME.

Now I'm in the state, that the IME is working within cmd.exe. In all other
windows nothing happens.

I debugged the IEM and see, that at the end of conversion the composition
string is updated and the message WM_IME_COMPOSITION followed by
WM_IME_ENDCOMPOSITION is send with function ImmGenerateMessage() to the IMM.
For me it looks like the DefWindowProc() of the normal edit window does not
interpret the WM_IME_xx messages and so the messages are ignored.



My Question:

If I want to write IME that works with IME unaware windows, what must be
done ?



Please help me. I'm totally confused.



Thank you

Holger

Hello again,
I have no set a breakpoint to DefWindowProc().
But the WM_IME_ messages are not send to DefWindowPorc().

Can someone explain.
Please give me some input. I don't know how to proceed.
Regards
Holger

Hello
After debugging a lot i have found my error.
It's very important that you have not set IMELEVL to 3 in registry. If you
have, you will never receive WM_IME_ messages in your IME.
