RE: How to enable IME on a custom UserControl?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Linda,

We don’t put any child controls on the user control. This is a “word
processing” like control we built ourselves. We catch events like key press
and draw the text ourselves.

We want to do something similar with text entered via the IME. I think (at
least I hope) we should be able to catch the events from IME and then draw
them in our user control. However, before we can do that we first need to
get the IME turn on when my control has focus.

Hi Blue,

I performed a test based on your description and saw the same thing as you
did.

I create a Windows application project and add a UserControl into the
project (I don't add any control on the custom UserControl). Build the
project and drag my custom UserControl from Toolbox on the form. I also
add a textbox on the form. Build the program again and run it.

When I put the focus in the textbox, several buttons for the specified
language appear on the language bar. When I click on the usercontrol, these
buttons for the specified language are disabled.

I think this makes sense. Since there isn't any child control on my
usercontrol, I couldn't input any text into my usercontrol. The behavior of
those specific buttons being disabled at this time is reasonable. If I add
a textbox on the UserControl, the textbox gets focused when I click on the
usercontrol. In this case, those specified buttons on the language bar are
available.

Could you please tell me what contols you placed on your usercontrol?

I look forward to your reply.


Sincerely,
Linda Liu
