Active IME

[Moses Zhao]

Hi All,

Currently I'm working in an English XP environment where I've got the
Japanese IME installed.
Is there any way of finding out if the current active IME (the one displayed
in the task bar) whether it supports IME editing. For example like "EN"
doesn't and I need this status.

Thanks,

moses

Hello Moses,

All IME's have a 0xE000000 prefix in front of them when you look at the HKL
value. You can easily use the GetKeyboardLayout API to retrieve the active
keyboard layout and test for whether it has such a prefix in the HKL.

If you are using VB, could you please tell me, h o w you checked for the
the active IME (and if you tried, if it worked for other OS (98)).

Tanky you, Jan

This would not be the Active IME (which is possible to get working via VB
but quite difficult and improbable in practice).

Hi Jan,

Not using VB but it should work something like the following...
Make a declartion of the ImmIsIme() and the GetKeyboardLayout()
WinAPI, and then make a call like...

ImmIsIme( GetKeyboardLayout() ) which returns a true/false

Hope this helps.
