Can anyone tell me what the "CTF" in the context means. I can not find it anywhere.

And I'm not sure what fourm this should go in.

TIA

One registry key in TSF input method framework, you could get information about from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms538044(v=vs.85).aspx

One input method is set as one TIP(Text Input Processor) under the registry, we should register it as one COM component first, then we could use ITfInputProcessorProfileMgr::RegisterProfile() to register TIP CLSID and ProfileID:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/CTF/TIP/{CLSID}/LanguageProfile/[langid]/{guidProfile}

Referernce: Text Service Registration and ITfInputProcessorProfiles interface

Hi,Bob

I developed an input method with many languages for win8. After when I register a western language(such as French, German) in TSF, it shows “unavailable input method” in Language Settings. But it still works fine. And when I register Chinese, Japanese and Korean using the same way, it shows my input method name in Language Settings. Why?

Thanks very much!
