'Declaration
 
Public Shadows Property ImeMode As ImeMode

public new ImeMode ImeMode {get; set;}

Property Value

One of the System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode values. The default is System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode.Inherit.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ComponentModel.InvalidEnumArgumentException	The assigned value is not one of the System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode enumeration values.

Remarks

An IME is a program that enables users to enter complex characters and symbols, such as Japanese Kanji characters, using a standard keyboard. The ImeMode property is typically set to System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode.Off for a control that is intended to only enter numeric values. The ImeMode property value is set to System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode.NoControl for the System.Windows.Forms.Form class.

Most classes that do not directly support Input Method Editors, or allow direct input from an IME, will set the value of this property to System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode.NoControl.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 2000 Professional (SP4), Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server (SP1), Windows 2008, Windows XP (SP2), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
