MSCandidateWindowUpdate

Non-standard: This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

MSCandidateWindowUpdate fires after the Input Method Editor (IME) candidate window has been identified as needing to change size, but before any visual updates have rendered.

This proprietary method is specific to Internet Explorer.
