ABSTRACT:
A Text Services Manager (TSM) maintains and uses TSM documents to ensure proper communication between applications and their needed input methods. A TSM document comprises information about the input methods and text services used by a particular instance of an application. One TSM document is preferably associated with each working document represented by an application window. Through use of the TSM document, the TSM provides for multiple instances of a particular input method, and the automatic synchronization of the input method to the active window. The preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises novel methods that provide this functionality including: methods for opening or closing a TSM aware application, methods for creating and disposing of TSM documents, and methods for activating and deactivating a TSM document.
