IME Sharp

A C# wrapper for Windows IME APIs.

Forked from https://github.com/ryancheung/ImeSharp

Usage

Initialization

Call InputMethod.Initialize to initialize the input method with a window handle, e.g. InputMethod.Initialize(someWindowHandle).

If you don't want the OS Candidate Window, do InputMethod.Initialize(someWindowHandle, false).

Hook events

InputMethod.TextInputCallback = OnTextInput;
InputMethod.TextCompositionCallback = OnTextComposition;

Retrieve other composition info from InputMethod.CandidateList and other fields for CJK IMEs.

Set position of OS rendered IME Candidate Window

InputMethod.SetTextInputRect(location.X, location.Y, 0, textBoxHeight);
