entering internationalized input

I have implemented an international text editor based on uniscribe, GDI &
GDI+.
While it display internationalized text fine I realize user input are no
good.

So far what I do: I override Control.OnKeyPressed(char keyCode);
I was expecting the appropriate char to be passed on.

Now I test with (very simple) french accent.
I was trying to type: 'ê' and I ended up with "[e"
So, how do I get a char which is a combination of multiple key strokes?

There must be an API for that, wouldn't it?

never mind, it seems to work in fact.
it's more like my current language setings changed automatically for some
reason without me being aware of it.... ?!?!

Now I keeps my eyes on the language tool bar and I could see it
changing.....

This is not as simple as it sound.
You should also try Japanese, for instance, to see how IME is handled.

well, aheum... I do what I could!
the test I was able to conduct sees to show me that single unicode
characters generated by multiple keystroke are handled automatically for me
(and passed on Control.OnKeyPressed(char c))

Maybe I should have special behavior of my text editor if I'm in the middle
of a cluster, but I have no idea...
Care to enlighten me a little bit more? :D
