ImmAssociateContextEx

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

The ImmAssociateContextEx function changes the association between the input method context and the specified window or its children.

BOOL ImmAssociateContextEx(
  HWND hWnd,    // handle to window 
  HINC hIMC,    // handle to input method context
  DWORD dwFlags // flag
);
 

Parameters

hWnd

Handle to the window to be associated with the input context.

hIMC

Handle to the input method context.

dwFlags

Type of association between the window and the input method context. This parameter can be the following values:

Value	Meaning
IACE_CHILDREN	Associate the input method context to the child windows of hWnd only.
IACE_DEFAULT	Restore the window's default input method context.
IACE_IGNORENOCONTEXT	Do not associate the input method context with windows that are not associated with any input method context.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.

If the function fails, the return value is FALSE.

Remarks

If the application calls this function with IACE_CHILDREN, the system associates the specified input method context with child windows of hWnd. It associates the input method context only with child windows of the thread that created hWnd. Any child window that is created after this function has been called will not be affected. Instead, the default input method context will be associated with it.

If the application calls this function with IACE_DEFAULT, the system restores the window's default input method context. In this case, the hIMC parameter is ignored.
