Syntax

LRESULT ImmRequestMessageA(
       HIMC   unnamedParam1,
       WPARAM unnamedParam2,
       LPARAM unnamedParam3
);

Parameters

unnamedParam1

unnamedParam2

unnamedParam3

Return value

Remarks

IME must use this function instead of sending the WM_IME_REQUEST message to the application in a call to SendMessage.

Note

The immdev.h header defines ImmRequestMessage as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
