How to get IME settings such as converted text color
Windows IME (Input Method Editor) has some mode to use Imm API.
- Half-aware
- Full-aware
Half-aware mode
By handling a few windows message, you can use inline-input of IME string. And, IME will handle about rendering.
Full-aware mode
By handling many windows message, you can use inline-input of IME string. Since IME doesn't handle about rendering and application must render strings...
Some application uses full-aware mode (ex. Microsoft Office, FireFox). Although Active IMM support on Mozilla/FireFox is written by me, many enhanced functions of IME are implemented by me too. Although Redering code is implemented by Frank Tang who was Netscape Engineer, there is a important problem about this code.
- It uses hard-corded value for IME color. If we want to change it, we cannot do it
How can we get this color from IME? We should use sepecfic API each IMEs. Microsoft and Just System (known as ATOK) provide a document how to use configuration shared library.
- Microsoft (MSIME)
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnime/html/imeshare.asp
- Just System (ATOK)
- http://www.justsystem.co.jp/tech/atok/amet12_00.html
Unfortunatelly, this document of MSIME is useless. Because, although this document explains hwo to use IMESHARE.DLL API, there is no header file into SDK. Sit MS! So I have reseached how to use IMESHARE API.
header may be this...

if (hImeShare)
{
pfnImeShareCreate = (PIMESHARECREATE) GetProcAddress(hImeShare, "PIMEShareCreate");
if (pfnImeShareCreate)
{
CIMEShare *pIMEShare = pfnImeShareCreate();
if (pIMEShare)
{
DWORD dwColor = pIMEShare->DwGetIMEStyle(IMESATTR_INPUT, IdstyIMEShareSubText | IdstyIMEShareRGBCol);
....
pIMEShare->FDeleteIMEShare();
}
}
FreeLibrary(hImeShare);
}
Of cource, I have a patch for Firefox 1.1. But coming soon...
