Is there anything similar on Windows what would achieve the same as the InputManager on OS X?

What are you trying to achieve? What language/frameworks do you want to use/know?

I'm pretty sure Windows has an API that developers can use to create new kinds of text input systems. I gather there are a wide variety of text input systems in use in non-Roman-derived markets, many of which are provided by third parties.

It's unclear if that's what you were really asking about, though, because you just assumed everyone knows what you would want to use an Input Manager for on Mac OS X.

  • If you want to create a new type of input method, ask how to do that.
  • If you want to get your own code running inside other applications, ask how to do that.

Don't just assume people can read your mind when asking questions, and don't assume that they have the same experience that you do and will recognize all the same platform-specific terminology.

Ok, sorry I was kind of vague. I saw inqusitor on OS X and I was speculating how to do that? I understand that it is done using InputManagers and was wondering what similar mechanisms possible on Windows.
