• ImmGetIMEFileName
  This function gets the file name of the IME associated with the specified keyboard layout.

• ImmGetImeMenuItems
  This function retrieves the menu items that are registered in the IME menu.

• ImmGetOpenStatus
  This function checks whether the IME is open or closed.

• ImmGetProperty
  This function gets the property and capabilities of the IME associated with the specified keyboard layout.

• ImmGetRegisterWordStyle
  This function gets a list of the styles support by the IME associated with the specified keyboard layout.

• ImmGetStatusWindowPos
  This function gets the position of the status window.

• ImmGetVirtualKey
  This function recovers the original virtual-key value associated with a key input message that has already been processed by the IME.

• ImmIsIME
  This function checks whether the specified handle identifies an IME.

• ImmIsUIMessage
  This function checks for messages intended for the IME window and sends those messages to the specified window.

• ImmLockIMC
  This function enables an IME to access the INPUTCONTEXT structure for an input method context (IMC) by returning a pointer to the structure.

• ImmLockIMCC

  This function changes the size of an input method context (IMC) component.

• ImmSetCandidateWindow
  This function sets information about the candidate list window.

• ImmSetCompositionFont
  This function sets the logical font to be used to display characters in the composition window.

• ImmSetCompositionString
