Default IME Character Set property
Use the Default IME Character Set property to specify the status of the IME for a component. An IME (Input Method Editor) is a program that enables users to enter complex characters and symbols, such as Japanese characters, using a standard keyboard.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| NoControl | Default. None. |
| On | The IME is on. This value indicates that the IME is on and characters specific to Chinese or Japanese can be entered. This setting is valid for Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese IME only. |
| Off | The IME is off. This mode indicates that the IME is off, meaning that the object behaves the same as English entry mode. This setting is valid for Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese IME only. |
| Disable | The IME is disabled. With this setting, the users cannot turn the IME on from the keyboard, and the IME floating window is hidden. |
| Close | When focus is on the component, the IME window is closed. |
| Inherit | Inherits the IME mode of the parent control. |
| Alpha | Alphanum SB. Single byte. |
| AlphaFull | Alphanum DB. Double byte. |
| Hangul | Hangul single byte. |
| HangulFull | Hangul double byte. |
| Hiragana | Double byte. |
| Katakana | Double byte. |
| KatakanaHalf | Katakana SB. Single byte. |
WinStudio implements the setting for a component whenever the component receives input focus. For components that have no IME setting, WinStudio automatically uses the Roman input mode and closes the IME.
