dwVersion

Version number of the structure. This must be set to 0x00010000.

flags

Flags to apply to the structure. This notifies the IME what kind of data a given offset type — symbol, skip, or score — contains. The following table lists the flags. This member is set to a combination of flags, with one flag for each offset type.

Flag	Description
LMDATA_SYMBOL_BYTE	Symbol information store as a BYTE.
LMDATA_SYMBOL_WORD	Symbol information store as a WORD.
LMDATA_SYMBOL_DWORD	Symbol information store as a DWORD.
LMDATA_SYMBOL_QWORD	Symbol information store as a QUAD WORD.
LMDATA_SKIP_BYTE	Skip information store as a BYTE.
LMDATA_SKIP_WORD	Skip information store as a WORD.
LMDATA_SCORE_BYTE	Score information store as a BYTE.
LMDATA_SCORE_WORD	Score information store as a WORD.
LMDATA_SCORE_DWORD	Score information store as a DWORD.
LMDATA_SCORE_QWORD	Score information store as a QUAD WORD.
LMDATA_SCORE_FLOAT	Score information store as a FLOAT.
LMDATA_SCORE_DOUBLE	Score information store as a DOUBLE.

The skip flag is not required by the structure.

cnt

Number of rows of data. A row consisting of a symbol, a score, and optionally a skip. For each symbol sent there is a score and perhaps a skip that form a row.

dwOffsetSymbols

Offset to the start of the symbol table. The offset is from the end of the LMDATAstructure.

dwOffsetSkip

Offset to the start of the skip table. The offset is from the end of the LMDATAstructure.

dwOffsetScore

Offset to the start of the score table. The offset is from the end of the LMDATAstructure.

The description of the LMDATAstructure can vary from application to application. For example, if the symbol being sent is really a word then the symbol table can be used as an offset to the actual word. This implementation depends completely on the how an IME and IM have agreed to share data.

In the following code example, a memory dump is shown for a structure that contains WORD symbols and a score only.
