This function sets information including the state of the software-based input panel, the area of the desktop that is not obscured by the software-based input panel, the screen coordinates of the software-based input panel, and application-defined information about the input method (IM) that the software-based input panel is currently using.

Syntax 

BOOL SipSetInfo( 
  SIPINFO* 
pSipInfo
);

Parameters

pSipInfo

[in] Pointer to the SIPINFOstructure that contains information about the current software-based input panel.

Return Value

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

Use this function to set the software-based input panel information to accommodate the current IM by setting information in the SIPINFOstructure such as the software-based input panel window position, size, and state. An application calling SipSetInfocannot request that the software-based input panel window be resized. The size of the software-based input panel window is based on coordination between the software-based input panel and IM.

To prevent undesirable information from being passed to SipSetInfo, clear the SIPINFOstructure beforehand. The following code example shows how to clear the structure.

Copy Code 
memset(pSipInfo, 0, sizeof(SIPINFO))

Use the SipGetInfofunction to retrieve information the software-based input panel.
