ITfReverseConversionMgr::GetReverseConversion method (msctf.h)

  • Article

[GetReverseConversion is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. For internal use only.]

Retrieves an ITfReverseConversion object that can perform reverse conversions.

Syntax

HRESULT GetReverseConversion(
  [in]  LANGID               langid,
  [in]  REFGUID              guidProfile,
  [in]  DWORD                dwflag,
  [out] ITfReverseConversion **ppReverseConversion
);

Parameters

[in] langid

The language ID of the profile to which the target strings belong.

[in] guidProfile

The GUID of the profile to which the target strings belong.

[in] dwflag

Value Meaning
TF_RCM_COMLESS
0x00000001
 Activate the reverse conversion interface without COM.
TF_RCM_VKEY
0x00000002
 The output should be an array of virtual key codes (instead of character key codes).
TF_RCM_HINT_READING_LENGTH
0x00000004
 The reverse conversion should prioritize the order of entries in the output list based on the length of input sequence, with the shortest sequences first. It is possible that an input sequence with a low collision count might be much higher than an input sequence with a similar (but slightly higher) collision count. The interpretation of this flag varies depending on the IME.
TF_RCM_HINT_COLLISION
0x00000008
 The reverse conversion should prioritize the order of entries in the output list based on the collision count, with the entries containing the lowest number of collisions first. If an input sequence corresponds to many more characters than a slightly longer input sequence, it might be preferable to use the longer input sequence instead. The IME determines whether this flag will affect the reverse conversion output.

[out] ppReverseConversion

A pointer to the address of the ITfReverseConversion object that can perform the specified reverse conversion.

Return value

This method can return one of these values.

Return value Description
S_OK
 An ITfReverseConversion for the specified langid and guidProfile combination is available.
E_NOTIMPL
 The specified langid and guidProfile combination does not support reverse conversion.
E_FAIL
 An unspecified error occurred.

Remarks

A reverse conversion provides the keystroke sequences required to create the specified string.

When neither the TF_RCM_HINT_COLLISION or TF_RCM_HINT_READING_LENGTH flag is specified for dwflag, the IME might not arrange the output in any sort of order.

Requirements

Requirement Value
Minimum supported client Windows Vista with SP2 [desktop apps only]
Minimum supported server Windows Server 2008 with SP1 [desktop apps only]
Target Platform Windows
Header msctf.h
