Enable IME for non-english input in TGEA

I dont't know why TGEA jump over the IME for its UI control.
Here is a method to enable IME input in TEGA, but a very simple one, no input window showing, just make the GUI accept the IME char.

In TGEA, locate function "_dispatch(…)" in file "winDispatch.cpp",within the "switch(message){…}",add the folloing codes:
case WM_IME_CHAR:
		  if (window)
			  window->charEvent.trigger(window->getDeviceId(),0,wParam);
		  break;
Now, your application can accept non-english, e.g. Chineses.

＠ Akiraa :
I have same problem, too.
But, i solved.
getDeviceID changed to getWindowId in T3D 1.8.x.

use this code.
case WM_IME_CHAR: {
		  if (window)
			  window->charEvent.trigger(window->getWindowId(),0,wParam);
		  break;
	  }
