Remarks

If wParam is IGP_PROPERTY, it returns one or more of the following values.

IME_PROP_AT_CARET	If set, conversion window is at the caret position. If clear, the window is near caret position.
IME_PROP_SPECIAL_UI	If set, IME has a nonstandard user interface. The application should not draw in the IME window.
IME_PROP_CANDLIST_START_FROM_1	If set, strings in the candidate list are numbered starting at 1. If clear, strings start at zero.
IME_PROP_UNICODE	If set, the IME is viewed as a UnicodeIME. The system and the IME will communicate through the UnicodeIME interface. If clear, IME will use the ANSI interface to communicate with the system.
IME_PROP_COMPLETE_ON_UNSELECT	Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: If set, conversion window is at the caret position. If clear, the window is near caret position.
IME_PROP_ACCEPT_WIDE_VKEY	Windows 2000/XP: If set, the IME processes the injected Unicode that came from the SendInput function by using VK_PACKET. If clear, the IME might not process the injected Unicode, and the injected Unicode might be sent to the application directly.

If wParam is IGP_UI, it returns one or more of the following values.

UI_CAP_2700	Supports text escapement values of 0 or 2700. For more information, see lfEscapement.
UI_CAP_ROT90	Supports text escapement values of 0, 900, 1800, or 2700. For more information, see lfEscapement.
UI_CAP_ROTANY	Supports any text escapement value. For more information, see lfEscapement.

If wParam is IGP_SETCOMPSTR, it returns one or more of the following values.

SCS_CAP_COMPSTR	Can create the composition string by calling the ImmSetCompositionString function with the SCS_SETSTR value.
SCS_CAP_MAKEREAD	Can create the reading string from corresponding composition string when using the ImmSetCompositionString function with SCS_SETSTR and without setting lpRead.
SCS_CAP_SETRECONVERTSTRING	This IME can support reconversion. Use ImmSetCompositionString to do the reconversion.

If wParam is IGP_SELECT, it returns one or more of the following values.

SELECT_CAP_CONVMODE	Inherits conversion mode when a new IME is selected.
SELECT_CAP_SENTENCE	Inherits sentence mode when a new IME is selected.

IMEVER_0310	The IME was created for Windows 3.1.
IMEVER_0400	The IME was created for Windows 95 or later

This message is similar to ImmGetProperty, except that it uses the current input locale. The application should call EM_ISIME before calling this function.
