Syntax
HRESULT SendString( LPTSTR ptszStr, DWORD dwSize );
Parameters
ptszStr
Pointer to a string buffer containing the string to send.
dwSize
Specifies the number of characters in the buffer. This number should not include the terminating null character, which is not sent.
Return Values
An appropriate HRESULT value is returned.
Remarks
An IM uses this method after an entire word or sentence has been entered. For example, a character recognizer IM could call this method after the user enters a full word. The input panel sends each character in the buffer as a WM_CHAR message to the current application. You can also use IIMCallback::SendCharEvents and IIMCallback::SendVirtualKey to send characters to the current application.
