IM	Specifies the input method instance.
AuxiliaryID	Identifies the auxiliary area.
Button	Specifies one of the following types of input: IM_ABORT Abort button is pushed. IM_CANCEL Cancel button is pushed. IM_ENTER Enter button is pushed. IM_HELP Help button is pushed. IM_IGNORE Ignore button is pushed. IM_NO No button is pushed. IM_OK OK button is pushed. IM_RETRY Retry button is pushed. IM_SELECTED Selection has been made. Only in this case do the PanelRow, PanelColumn, ItemRow, and ItemColumn parameters have meaningful values. IM_YES Yes button is pushed.
PanelRow	Indicates the panel on which the selection event occurred.
PanelColumn	Indicates the panel on which the selection event occurred.
ItemRow	Indicates the selected item.
ItemColumn	Indicates the selected item.
String	Holds the returned string. If a null value is returned, the input is used or discarded by the input method. Note that the String parameter is not a null-terminated string.
