Japanese Input Method Architecture (Windows CE 5.0)
All Japanese IMs are implemented as Component Object Model (COM) components and exposed through the input panel component. The Japanese IM implementation in Windows CE consists of two parts: the Software-based Input Panel subsystem and the IMs. The input panel is responsible for converting non-keyboard input into a keyboard event.
In the IM architecture in Windows CE, the IM is situated under the input panel. The input panel creates the IM through the IInputMethod interface. After the IM is created, the IM receives user input and passes this data to the input panel through the IIMCallback interface. After the input panel receives data from the IM, the input panel passes the data to the Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem (GWES).
