Provides methods that input methods can use to communicate with their client components or to request other services. This interface is implemented by the input method framework, and input methods call its methods on the instance they receive through InputMethod.setInputMethodContext(java.awt.im.spi.InputMethodContext) . There should be no other implementors or callers.

void dispatchInputMethodEvent(int id, AttributedCharacterIterator text, int committedCharacterCount, TextHitInfo caret, TextHitInfo visiblePosition)
Window createInputMethodWindow(String title, boolean attachToInputContext)
The title may or may not be displayed, depending on the actual type of window created.
If attachToInputContext is true, the new window will share the input context that corresponds to this input method context, so that events for components in the window are automatically dispatched to the input method. Also, when the window is opened using setVisible(true), the input context will prevent deactivate and activate calls to the input method that might otherwise be caused.
Input methods must call Window.dispose on the returned input method window when it is no longer needed.
