can Xyplorer support TSF?

TSF is an acronym for Text Services Framework:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... -framework
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Services_Framework

I'm a Korean user, and I don't have any inconvenience when using xyplorer on a daily basis (I think xyplorer is more useful than its price). However, I sometimes need to type hanja or old Korean characters in comments or tags, and if the app doesn't support TSF, certain characters won't be typed (marked with ?) or are difficult to type (word-by-word conversion, auto-ligature, etc.).

I was confused for a while about what the problem was, and only recently realised that it's because some of IME's features don't work properly in apps that don't support TSF.

This isn't a major issue, but it would be nice if xyplorer supported TSF if it wasn't so technically difficult.

I am actually wondering why it does not work. I think it should just work out of the box since I'm using standard Windows Edit Controls that should be connected to TSF.

The problem might be that I'm doing too much behind the scenes (via subclassing). So just for debugging, I added a way to display a text box without subclassing:

Code: Select all

echo input("Test", 9:=1);
It will look like this and you have to click into the box to focus it. Then you can type. Does TSF work here?

Too bad, but thanks for trying. I have no other ideas at the moment.
