ImmGetGuideLine
This function gets information about errors. Applications use the information to notify users.
DWORD ImmGetGuideLine(
HIMC hIMC,
DWORD dwIndex,
LPTSTR lpBuf,
DWORD dwBufLen);
Parameters
hIMC
[in] Handle to the input context.dwIndex
[in] Specifies the type of guideline information to retrieve. This parameter can be one of the following values.Value Description GGL_LEVEL Returns the error level. GGL_INDEX Returns the error index. GGL_STRING Retrieves the error message string. GGL_PRIVATE Returns information about reverse conversion. lpBuf
[out] Long pointer to the buffer that receives the error message string. This parameter can be NULL if dwIndex is not GGL_STRING or GGL_PRIVATE if dwBufLen is zero.dwBufLen
[in] Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by lpBuf. If zero, the function returns the buffer size needed to receive the error message string, not including the terminating null character.
Return Values
The return value is an error level, an error index, or the size of an error message string, depending on the value of the dwIndex parameter. If dwIndex is GGL_LEVEL, the return value is one of the following:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| GL_LEVEL_ERROR | Error. The IME may not be able to continue. |
| GL_LEVEL_FATAL | Fatal error. The IME cannot continue, and data may be lost. |
| GL_LEVEL_INFORMATION | No error, but information is available for the user. |
| GL_LEVEL_NOGUIDELINE | No error. Remove previous error message if still visible. |
| GL_LEVEL_WARNING | Unexpected input or other result. The user should be warned, but the IME can continue. |
If dwIndex is GGL_INDEX, the return value is one of the following:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| GL_ID_CANNOTSAVE | The dictionary or the statistics data cannot be saved. |
| GL_ID_NOCONVERT | The IME cannot convert any more. |
| GL_ID_NODICTIONARY | The IME cannot find the dictionary, or the dictionary has an unexpected format. |
| GL_ID_NOMODULE | The IME cannot find the module that IME needs. |
| GL_ID_READINGCONFLICT | For example, some vowels cannot put together. |
| GL_ID_TOOMANYSTROKE | There are too many strokes for one character or one clause. |
| GL_ID_TYPINGERROR | Typing error. The IME cannot handle this typing. |
| GL_ID_UNKNOWN | Unknown error. The application should refer to the error message string. |
| GL_ID_INPUTREADING | IME accepts reading character input. |
| GL_ID_INPUTRADICAL | IME accepts radical character input. |
| GL_ID_INPUTCODE | IME accepts character code input. |
| GL_ID_CHOOSECANDIDATE | IME accepts candidate string selection. |
| GL_ID_REVERSECONVERSION | Information about reverse conversion is available. |
If dwIndex is GGL_STRING, the return value is the number of bytes of the string copied to the buffer, or, if dwBufLen is zero, the return value is the buffer size needed to receive the string.
If dwIndex is GGL_PRIVATE, the return value is the number of bytes of information copied to the buffer. If dwIndex is GGL_PRIVATE and dwBufLen is zero, the return value is the buffer size needed to receive the information.
Remarks
Applications typically call this function after receiving an IMN_GUIDELINE message.
