The IMProcessAuxiliary subroutine notifies the input method instance of input for an auxiliary area.

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.
