Hi all, I redone this in a more sensible way, rather than adding programmatic hooks into System.Windows.Forms.dll, win messages are emitted by mono for preedit notification when doing on-the-spot IME. Hence no publicly visible api has changed. A user application can just override winproc if it cares about on-the-spot preediting. Please could someone review (and commit if ok) this patch? https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=557268 Thanks Tom On Mon, 2009-11-09 at 16:38 -0700, Tom Hindle wrote: > Hi, > > I need to implement in a custom control on-the-spot Input method > editing.
