Simplified Chinese MSPY 3.0 IME Catalog Items and Sysgen Variables (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

In Windows Embedded Compact, you can implement functionality for users to type Simplified Chinese characters as input for a Windows Embedded Compact powered device by adding the Microsoft Pinyin (MSPY) IME 3.0 for Simplified Chinese.

With an input method editor (IME), a user can press a key on a keyboard, view character candidates displayed in the user interface (UI), and select the correct character to map to the key press.

For more information, see Simplified Chinese MSPY 3.0 IME.
