WM_IME_STARTCOMPOSITION (Compact 2013)

  • Article

3/28/2014

This message is sent immediately before the IME generates a composition string because of a keystroke. The message is a notification to an IME window to open its composition window. An application should process this message if it displays composition characters itself.

Syntax

WM_IME_STARTCOMPOSITION
    wParam = 0;
    lParam = 0;

Parameters

  • wParam
    Not used.
  • lParam
    Not used.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

If an application has created an IME window, it should pass the WM_IME_STARTCOMPOSITION message to that window. The DefWindowProc function processes this message by passing it to the default IME window.

Windows Embedded Compact applications cannot create IME windows.

Requirements
