Text Services Manager Routines for Client Applications
The Text Services Manager provides an application interface that allows client applications to use text service components independently of any specific knowledge of those components. Your client application makes these application-level calls to the Text Services Manager, which in turn calls the text service component using the component-level routines described in the section "Text Service Component Routines" on page 7-84.The routines in the application interface let you
- initialize and close your TSM-aware application
- use TSM documents
- pass events, menu items, and cursor control to text service components
- confirm active input in TSM documents that use input methods
- provide text services to the user
- request a floating input window instead of inline input
- associate scripts and languages with text service components
