Checking Multiple Controls

Spellchecking three text areas with a single dialog.



The RadSpell property ControlsToCheck allows you to spell check multiple HTML controls on the same page with a single instance of RadSpell. In the past this was only possible with custom JavaScript code. This example shows how to check three textbox controls using the ControlsToCheck property.
