IFEDictionary::GetWords method (msime.h)

Gets word entries from a dictionary.

The selection of a word entry can be performed by a combination of

  • A string with Japanese phonetic characters, with or without a wildcard at the end of the string.
  • A word, with or without a wildcard at its end.
  • A Part of Speech
In addition, retrievals by a string with Japanese phonetic characters can be performed by specifying a range in the Hiragana 50-on ordering.

Syntax

HRESULT GetWords(
  [in]      const WCHAR *pwchFirst,
  [in]      const WCHAR *pwchLast,
  [in]      const WCHAR *pwchDisplay,
  [in]      ULONG       ulPos,
  [in]      ULONG       ulSelect,
  [in]      ULONG       ulWordSrc,
  [in, out] UCHAR       *pchBuffer,
  [in]      ULONG       cbBuffer,
  [out]     ULONG       *pcWrd
);

Parameters

[in] pwchFirst

A text string against which IFEDictionary entries are matched; the value must be one of the following:

Value Meaning
NULL
 Low-value.
Hiragana string (full text to be retrieved).
Hiragana string ending in "*" (specifying only leading characters of text).

This can be an initial text string when a range of words is to be retrieved, in which case a wildcard must not be used.

[in] pwchLast

A text string that is used to end a text string. This must contain the same value as pwchReading in the IMEWRD structure when a retrieval is performed by a single value; that is, not by a range value. The value must be one of the following:

Value Meaning
NULL
 High-value.
Hiragana string (full text to be retrieved).
Hiragana string ending in "*" (specifying only leading characters of text).
