Displaying furigana (phonetic readings of kanji characters) in textbox/richtextbox elements

How would I go about displaying furigana above kanji characters in a textbox based element?

I've tried looking extensively on the web for information regarding furigana display in Windows forms elements - there appears to be some implementation for Microsoft Access form controls, but these do not seem to be accessible in a non-Access project.

ImmGetCompositionString is the method to get typed kana from IME ( http://www.atmarkit.co.jp/fdotnet/dotnettips/875imeyomi/imeyomi.html [ja])

If you are okay with the guessing furigana from already-converted kanji, you may use mecab or other library, but in that case, furigana are not always correct.

It sounds like you'd need to implement or otherwise extend the existing IME - check the solutions for this question:
