IMEStatus Property (TDBText)

Reference> TDBText Control> TDBText Control Properties> IMEStatus Property (TDBText)

This property controls the IME (Input Method Editor) conversion status, determining whether the entered Hiragana, Katakana (DBCS and SBCS) and Alphabet (DBCS and SBCS) are immediately confirmed as soon as you input.

Syntax

control.IMEStatus= value

Read/Write at run time and design time.

Values

Design Time	Run Time
0 - Normal (Default)	dbiIMENormal
1 - Non-Convert	dbiIMENonConvert

Remarks

If set to 0-Normal, the entered data will be converted and confirmed as you manually pressed the Space and the Enter key.

If set to 1-Non-convert, the entered data will be immediately confirmed as soon as you input, without converting. This improves your inputting speed which reduces keystrokes such as Enter and Space keys. Also it becomes very useful when entering data such as Hiragana, Katakana (DBCS and SBCS) names and addresses. But note that in this mode, you will not be able to input Kanji.

This property takes effect only when the IME is turned on.
