Answer 4

Hi,

What is IME?

It is keyboard input method.

Every textbox on a form or a table can be set to make IME on or off when activated through its property sheet.

I need to be able to turn it OFF or On for inputbox too.

The following code works in microsoft Excel. But not in Access.
I'm looking for something that works in Microsoft Access.

Public Declare Function ImmGetContext Lib "imm32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long 
Public Declare Function ImmReleaseContext Lib "imm32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal himc As Long) As Long 
Public Declare Function ImmSetOpenStatus Lib "imm32.dll" (ByVal himc As Long, _
ByVal b As Long) As Long 


Sub IMEControl2()
　Dim hImc As Long
　Dim myHWnd As Long
　Dim Ret As String
　　'Check Version
　　If Application.Version > 9 Then
　　myHWnd = Application.hWnd
　　Else
　　myHWnd = FindWindow("XLMAIN", 0)
　　End If
　　hImc = ImmGetContext(myHWnd)
　　'IME OFF
　　If hImc <> 0 Then
　　Call ImmSetOpenStatus(hImc, 0)
　　Call ImmReleaseContext(myHWnd, hImc)
　　End If
　　Ret = Application.InputBox("Type.", Type:=2)
　　If Ret <> "" Then
　　　　MsgBox "IME-OFF with API :" & Ret
　　End If

Hi h-gh,

In A2003 (and I suppose also in newer versions) a Textbox control has several properties concerning IME.

With VBA you can loop through all the (Textbox) controls and set these properties accordingly.

Thanks for replying. But I'm talking about inputbox not textbox.

But I'm talking about inputbox not textbox.

Hi h-gh,

Oke, I missed that,

You could make your own Input function using a small form with only one Textbox. Then you have all the flexibility to use that function.
