This is a scratch pad for the IME Summer of Code 2010 project, by Daniel Wyatt

The code is available here: http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL-gsoc2010_IME

Status

July 07, 2010 Started work on SDL itself.

June 30, 2010 I have decided to use an IMM implementation for the SoC. The TSF implementation is moving too slowly, I intend to complete it after the SoC.

Documentation

Notes

There are two methods for enabling IME support on Windows:

• Text Services Framework (TSF)
• Input Method Manager (IMM)

I will write an IMM implementation for the SoC.

The TSF comes with Windows XP and newer. For earlier versions of Windows, you must install it separately: Microsoft Windows Text Services Framework Redist files

TSF

The TSF is the new standard for text input and supports advanced features such as dictation. It is a collection of (many) COM interfaces. Sources for information:

• [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms629032(VS.85).aspx MSDN Documentation]
• TSF Aware
• ReadComp Source (MSDN)
• DirectX SDK Samples (Direct3D/CustomUI, DXUT/Optional)
• Mozilla (mozilla-1.9.2/widgets/src/windows/nsTextStore.cpp)

IMM

The IMM is the old way of doing things. On Windows XP and newer, the IMM is emulated by the TSF behind the scenes. Sources for information:

• Input Method Managers and Editors (IMMs/IMEs)
• Input Method Manager (IMM)
• Input Method Manager (IMM) Application Development
