  We are using RadSpell on touch screens and we cannot restyle or override the confirm dialog (pops up after you hit cancel after changing a word) for bigger buttons so I just want to get rid of it.
  
  OnClientCheckCancelled only fires after a selection is made in the confirm dialog and I cannot suppress it this way
  
  Using 
  window.confirm = function(msg){} does not work either.
  

  What can I do to address this?

  You should be able to override the Window.Confirm dialog by using the RadWindowManager and a RadConfirm. This would allow you to customize its look and feel as desired. See the Working with the Confirm Dialog documentation page for insights.
  
  Take a look at Intercept and Manage Windows Originated by Third-party Components Hosted in C# Application for a way to intercept the dialog.
  
  Hope this helps!

  I'm not sure I understand you.
  
  I want to be able to remove or replace the confirm dialog in the RadSpell control. It only appears when you change at least 1 word and then cancel the spellcheck.
  It looks like this and is identical to the regular javascript confirm dialog
  
  Sample here http://jsfiddle.net/rc8Us/ 
  
  
  

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  |  Message from webpage                                                x  |

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  |                                                                         |

  |   ?   Do you want to apply or cancel the changes to the text so far?    |

  |                                                                         |

  |                                           ----------   ----------       |

  |                                           |    OK   |  |  Cancel |      |

  |                                           ----------   ----------       |

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  
  
  This does not appear to be a RadConfirm and overriding the window.confirm that it looks exactly like does nothing.

  I've looked at your issue in greater depth. Sorry for the confusion.Here's what I've found.
  
  
  The only way to achieve your scenario is to Disabling embedded resources, open the SpellDialog.js file and replace the confirm function with true argument in the cancelHandler, e.g.
  
  Original code:
  

  cancelHandler: function()

  {

  if (this._cancel.disabled)

  {

  return;

  }

  //changes will be applied only if spell handler response is received, text has changed

  //and the user confirms

  this.closeDialog(this._spellProcessor && this._spellProcessor.textChanged() && confirm(this.get_localization()["Confirm"]));

  
  

  
  Modified
  

  cancelHandler: function()

  {

  if (this._cancel.disabled)

  {

  return;

  }

  //changes will be applied only if spell handler response is received, text has changed

  //and the user confirms

  this.closeDialog(this._spellProcessor && this._spellProcessor.textChanged() && true);

  }

  
  This should help you achieve your requirement.
  
  Best regards,

  Wow, thanks for your indepth response jumpstart!
  
  That looks a bit tricky but I think I may be able to pull it off.

  Hi,
  
  I would propose an easier way to disable the popup and it is to override the cancelHandler function. To do that follow the steps below:
  
  1) Create a JS file named dialog.js in the root of the web application and populate it with the following function:
  
  

  Telerik.Web.UI.Spell.SpellDialog.prototype.cancelHandler = function (e) {

      if (this._cancel.disabled) {

          return $telerik.cancelRawEvent(e);

      }

      //changes will be applied only if spell handler response is received, text has changed

      //and the user confirms

      this.closeDialog(this._spellProcessor && this._spellProcessor.textChanged() && true);

   

      return $telerik.cancelRawEvent(e);

  }

  
  2) Save the file and set the DialogsScriptFile property of RadSpell to point to this file, e.g.
  
  

  <telerik:RadSpell ID="RadSpell1" runat="server" ControlsToCheck="TextBox1" DialogsScriptFile="dialog.js" />

  <asp:TextBox ID="Textbox1" runat="server" />

  
  3) Test the solution.
  
  Kind regards,
  Rumen
