Value	Meaning
EMSIS_COMPOSITIONSTRING	Sets behavior for handling the composition string.

lParam

Return value

Data specific to the type of status to retrieve. With the EMSIS_COMPOSITIONSTRING value for status, this return value is one or more of the following values.

Return code	Description
EIMES_GETCOMPSTRATONCE	If this flag is set, the edit control hooks the WM_IME_COMPOSITION message with fFlags set to GCS_RESULTSTR and returns the result string immediately. If this flag is not set, the edit control passes the WM_IME_COMPOSITION message to the default window procedure and processes the result string from the WM_CHAR message; this is the default behavior of the edit control.
EIMES_CANCELCOMPSTRINFOCUS	If this flag is set, the edit control cancels the composition string when it receives the WM_SETFOCUS message. If this flag is not set, the edit control does not cancel the composition string; this is the default behavior of the edit control.
EIMES_COMPLETECOMPSTRKILLFOCUS	If this flag is set, the edit control completes the composition string upon receiving the WM_KILLFOCUS message. If this flag is not set, the edit control does not complete the composition string; this is the default behavior of the edit control.
