The RadSpell control can be extended with a SpellCheckValidator that will provide functionality similar to a RequiredFieldValidator - postbacks will not be allowed if the RadSpell does not pass through the content without issues.

In this case the RadSpell's button is hidden via CSS and the AjaxSpellCheck command of the RadEditor is overriden to invoke the spellcheck instead. This is done to improve the user experience and avoid having another button. Thsi can be achieved with a custom command for the RadEditor or simply by leaving the RadSpell button available for all other cases.
