hi, i came across this export (User32InitializeImmEntryTable) being used in a program i am currently playing with and cant find any information on this export at all, any info appreciated.. thx

Hi

Not a lot it seems, it appears to be used with imm32.dll, which is apparently used to support Asian characters. You can see User32InitializeImmEntryTable is one of the User32 imports required by imm32.dll, along with a bunch of keyboard, char and unicode imports. There is some info around about programming IMM, including the MSDN I think.


The IME (Input Method Editor) is a driver to input double-byte (or unicode) characters specific to the Asian languages.

The system provides the common interface called IMM (Input Method Manager) to control IMEs. It enables applications to give some commands to the IME or get the messages from the IME. IMM APIs are exported by IMM32.DLL in the system folder.
To use IMM APIs, you should #include <imm.h> and link imm32.lib (or load IMM32.DLL dynamically).


So, You've either got a funny app or this has something to do with language support. If you're wondering, Google Groups gave me the imm32.dll lead, Input Method Editor should yield more info, if you care anymore ;-)
