Members
dwSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the structure, the offset array, and all candidate strings
dwStyle
Specifies candidate style values. It can be one or more of the following values:
| Value | Description |
| IME_CAND_UNKNOWN | Candidates are in a style other than listed here. |
| IME_CAND_READ | Candidates are in same reading. |
| IME_CAND_CODE | Candidates are in a code range. |
| IME_CAND_MEANING | Candidates are in same meaning. |
| IME_CAND_RADICAL | Candidates use the same radical character. |
| IME_CAND_STROKES | Candidates are in same number of strokes. |
For the IME_CAND_CODE style, the candidate list has a special structure depending on the value of the dwCount member. If dwCount is 1, the dwOffset member contains a single DBCS character rather than an offset, and no candidate string is provided. If the dwCount member is greater than 1, the dwOffset member contains valid offsets, and the candidate strings are text representations of individual DBCS character values in hexadecimal notation.
dwCount
Specifies the number of candidate strings.
dwSelection
Specifies the index of the selected candidate string.
dwPageStart
Specifies the index of the first candidate string in the candidate window. This varies as the user presses the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys.
dwPageSize
Specifies the number of candidate strings to be shown in one page in the candidate window. The user can move to the next page by pressing IME-defined keys, such as the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN key. If this number is zero, an application can define a proper value by itself.
dwOffset
Specifies the offset to the start of the first candidate string, relative to the start of this structure. The offsets for subsequent strings immediately follow this member, forming an array of 32-bit offsets.
Remarks
The candidate strings immediately follow the last offset in the dwOffset array.
