Software-Based Input Panel Functions
The following table shows the software-based input panel functions, with a description of the purpose of each.
| Programming element | PPC | SP | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SipEnumIM | X | X | This function enumerates the currently available input methods (IMs). |
| SipEnumIMProc | X | X | This application-defined callback function is used with the SipEnumIM function to enumerate the currently available input methods. |
| SipGetCurrentIM | X | X | This function returns the class identifier (CLSID) of the current input method (IM). |
| SipGetInfo | X | X | This function receives information including the state of the software-based input panel, the area of the desktop that is not obscured by the software-based input panel, the screen coordinates of the software-based input panel, and information about the input method (IM) that the software-based input panel is currently using. |
| SipRegisterNotification | X | X | This function registers a window, which then receives software-based input panel notifications related to the current input method (IM). |
| SipSetCurrentIM | X | X | This function sets the class identifier (CLSID) for the current input method (IM). |
| SipSetDefaultRect | X | X | This function sets the default size and position of the software-based input panel window. |
| SipSetInfo | X | X | This function sets information including the state of the software-based input panel, the area of the desktop that is not obscured by the software-based input panel, the screen coordinates of the software-based input panel, and application-defined information about the input method (IM) that the software-based input panel is currently using. |
| SipShowIM | X | X | This function shows or hides the currently active software-based input panel window. An application must call this function to display the software-based input panel and its current input method. |
| SipStatus | X | X | This function is called by an application to determine if the software-based input panel environment is loaded. With this information, an application can decide whether to continue interacting with the software-based input panel environment. |
