This article was previously published under Q232510



SYMPTOMS
Custom Input Methods (IM) may not function correctly when installed on a Palm-size PC 1.2 running Windows CE 2.11 if it is necessary for the Input Method to resize the Input Panel (SIP).



CAUSE
The rcSipRect member of the IMINFO structure passed to IImCallback::SetImInfo is ignored.



RESOLUTION
Use SipSetInfo to change the properties of the Input Panel and SipGetInfo to retrieve the current state.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Input Methods that call SipSetInfo to change the size and or the location of the Input Panel should restore the previous state of the Input Panel when the IM is unloaded. Input Methods that fail to restore the previous state of the Input Panel can cause unpredictable results when the user selects another installed Input Method.
