WM_IME_CHAR (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

This message is sent to an application when the IME gets a character of the conversion result. Unlike the WM_CHAR message, this message can include double-byte as well as single-byte character values.

Syntax

chCharCode1 = (WORD)wParam;lKeyData = lParam;

Parameters

• chCharCode1
  For double-byte character sets: Specifies a single- or double-byte character value. For a double-byte character, chCharCode1 contains the lead byte.

  For Unicode: Specifies a Unicode character value.

• chCharCode2
  For double-byte character sets: Specifies a single- or double-byte character value.

• lKeyData
  Specifies the repeat count, scan code, context code, and conversion-state flag.

  The following table shows the values that this parameter can take.

  Value	Description
  0-15	Repeat count: Because the first byte and second byte is continuous, this is always 1.
  16-23	Scan Code: Scan code for a complete FE character.
  24-28	Not used.
  29	Context code.
  31	Conversion state.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

If the WM_IME_CHAR message includes a double-byte character and the application passes this message to the DefWindowProc function, the IME converts this message into two WM_CHAR messages, each containing one byte of the double-byte character.
