Could not get a drop-down list above the combo as described yet. Will try again.

I am not surprised. For some strange reasons, I cannot get the keyboard messages WM_IME_CHAR nor the WM_UNICHAR. Those messages are best for Unicode handling, and can notify GenoPro the presence of the Input Method Editor (IME) - the window to display symbols.

I have another solution. I will work on it this week.

Have tried the utility program of Ron to convert into GEDCOM format and was surprised that when the program starts the IME function is activated. This means I could enter japanese text into the field, where the xml file should be placed for converting purpose.

Was this on purpose or by accident done by Ron?

The IME is built-in and available to every Windows program. I need to investigate why GenoPro does not receive IME messages. I am not sure if this is a Windows95/98/ME issue or an issue on the NT/200/XP platform. I have seen the IME at work, but I never used it personally. I only know English and French.

GenoPro Beta12f now offers the option to display the auto drop down list above the input field, or to turn it off completely.

Thanks for all these nice improvements.

Have tried something today, which should not have happened. If a gno file is transferred from an English Windows version and the input was done with IME to a japanese Windows version, the first thing after opening this file should be to set the proper font, otherwise a crash may happen. Although the display shows proper japanese characters initially, still it is important to do so. Realized this when trying to make a Meta file without setting the font to a font which is available on that computer. The program crashed!
The same should be done in both directions.

Should be mentioned in the manual for this program.
