Setting the Input Method Editor Mode on a Control or List Column
An input method editor (IME) is an editor that allows you to enter complex characters directly from the keyboard. For example, the characters in an Asian language. Several IME input modes handle different types of characters. For example, the Microsoft Windows Japanese IMEs include Hiragana, Katakana, English, Double-width English, and so forth. You create a control or list column user property in Siebel Tools to set the IME mode for a control or list column. NOTE: You can only use the input method editor in high interactivity. You cannot use the input method editor in standard interactivity. For more information, see About Standard Interactivity and High Interactivity.
