RFE: WinNT: On-the-spot IME feature enhancement request

XMLWordPrintable


      ingrid.yao@Eng 1997-08-02

      Feature requested by Oracle:
      ==================================================
      Whenever we invoke Japanese/Korean/Chinese IME on WebForms, the IME window
      appears in root window (MDI window). What we expect is on-the-spot IME, or
      over-the-spot IME.
      -
      Different environments have different terminologies, so let me explain the
      terminology I just used above. For Japanese/Korean/Chinese, we need IME
      (Input Method Editor) in order to input multibyte characters. Since one
      multibyte character usually requires multiple key strokes, we need a place
      to construct our input. IME provides the place where we can construct
      multibyte characters. There are four levels of implementations (below).
      -
              1. on-the-spot (the best one)
                      We don't really see any additional window.
                      Just looks like we are constructing multibyte characters
                      right on the text field.
                      After we invoke IME by a special key-conbination (Alt-~,
                      Alt-Shift, etc.), we can start constructing/inputing multibyt
                      characters. After we deactivate IME using similar or same
                      key-conbination, we can only input ASCII characters.
      -
              2. over-the-spot (acceptable for some cases)
                      There is a very small window which follows the cursor in the
                      text field. This small window appears when we invoke IME
                      and disappears when we deactivate IME.
                      (Key-combinations to invoke/deactivate IME is same as above.)
      -
              3. off-the-spot
                      There is a very small area usually on the lower-left corner
                      of the application's window in which we construct multibyte
                      characters.
                      (Key-combinations to invoke/deactivate IME is same as above.)
      -
              4. root window (MDI window)
                      There is a very small window which stays usually on the
                      lower-left corner of the root window (MDI window).
                      This small window appears when we invoke IME and disappears
                      when we deactivate IME.
                      (Key-combinations to invoke/deactivate IME is same as above.)
      Please implement on-the-spot IME (or at least over-the-spot IME for some cases)
      for WebForms in Developer/2000 R1.5 as customers in Japan/Korea/Taiwan/China
      expect this level of IME implementation.
