FIX: Unable to Disable IME Box in a Grid at Runtime

   This.IMEMode = 2
				

MORE INFORMATION

The IME box allows the user to input Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) characters into a character field. You can enable and disable the IME box automatically by selecting Tools and Options from the main menu and then selecting the "Browse IME Control" check box located on the General tab. Once the "Browse IME Control" is checked, the IME box is automatically enabled as you move into a character field in a grid.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Make sure the Browse IME Control check box is selected by selecting Options from the Tools menu, and then clicking the General tab.
2. Create a project named "imeproj."
3. Create a form named "imeform."
4. Add a table (for example, customer) to the DataEnvironment of the form, and drag the table to the form to create a grid.
5. Go into each individual text box and set the IMEMode property to "2 - Close IME."
6. Add a command button to the form and put the following code in the Click event:

         RELEASE Thisform
         CLEAR EVENTS
   							

7. Create a main program name "imemain," with the following code:

         DO FORM imeform
         READ EVENTS
   							

   Mark this program file as the main file in the project.
8. Create and run the executable file.

NOTE: The IME box still appears even though the IMEMode property is already set to "2 - Close IME."

NOTE: The IME box only works on operating system platforms that support DBCS, such as Microsoft Windows 95 Traditional Chinese version.
