| Platform SDK: International Features |
In Windows 98 and Windows 2000, the IME implements a new feature called reconversion. Normally the IME determines the lists of candidates based only on what is typed. Reconversion allows the IME to determine candidates (or only one candidate) based on the sentence it is in (its context). There are three types of reconversion: simple, normal, and enhanced.
Reconversion is useful when a user notices a composition error in the document. In this case the user can select the error, choose reconversion from a menu, and the IME will use the context to determine the best replacement. ImmSetCompositionString can be used to support reconversion.
