IActiveIMMApp Interface

---

This is the primary interface for an Active Input Method Manager client application.

IActiveIMMApp Methods

GetImeMenuItemsW	Retrieves the menu items that are registered in the IME menu. Unicode implementation.
GetLangId	Retrieves the language identifier associated with the keyboard layout.
GetOpenStatus	Checks whether the IME is open or closed.
GetProperty	Retrieves the property and capabilities of the IME associated with the specified keyboard layout.
GetRegisterWordStyleA	Retrieves a list of the styles supported by the IME associated with the specified keyboard layout. ANSI implementation.
GetRegisterWordStyleW	Retrieves a list of the styles supported by the IME associated with the specified keyboard layout. Unicode implementation.
GetStatusWindowPos	Retrieves the position of the status window.
GetVirtualKey	Recovers the original virtual-key value associated with a key input message that has already been processed by the IME.
InstallIMEA	Installs an IME into the system. ANSI implementation.
InstallIMEW	Installs an IME into the system. Unicode implementation.
IsIME	Checks whether the specified handle identifies an IME.
IsUIMessageA	Checks for messages intended for the IME window and sends those messages to the specified window. ANSI implementation.
IsUIMessageW	Checks for messages intended for the IME window and sends those messages to the specified window. Unicode implementation.
NotifyIME	Notifies the IME about changes to the status of the input context.
OnDefWindowProc	Replaces the DefWindowProc function.
RegisterWordA	Registers a string into the dictionary of the IME associated with the specified keyboard layout. ANSI implementation.
RegisterWordW	Registers a string into the dictionary of the IME associated with the specified keyboard layout. Unicode implementation.
ReleaseContext	Releases the input context and unlocks the memory associated in the context. An application must call this method for each call to the IActiveIMMApp::GetContext method.
SetCandidateWindow	Sets information about the candidate list window.
SetCompositionFontA	Sets the logical font to be used to display characters in the composition window. ANSI implementation.
SetCompositionFontW	Sets the logical font to be used to display characters in the composition window. Unicode implementation.
SetCompositionStringA	Sets the characters, attributes, and clauses of the composition and reading strings. ANSI implementation.
SetCompositionStringW	Sets the characters, attributes, and clauses of the composition and reading strings. Unicode implementation.
SetCompositionWindow	Sets the position of the composition window.
SetConversionStatus	Sets the current conversion status.
SetOpenStatus	Opens or closes the IME.
SetStatusWindowPos	Sets the position of the status window.
