How to remove the "Add to Dictionary" button from spell checking popup

[Frank]

Hi,
I would like to know if there is some way to remove the "Add to Dictionary" button from the  spell checking popup without re-styling the popup with XAML template without the button.
I don't know if there is some property buried somewhere that allows to do that.

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,

The easiest way to remove the button will be to find the button by its name and hide it:

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    SpellCheckingDialog spellCheckingDialog = this.radRichTextBox1.SpellCheckingDialog as SpellCheckingDialog;
    if (spellCheckingDialog != null)
    {
        spellCheckingDialog.Loaded += this.SpellCheckingDialog_Loaded;
    }
}

private void SpellCheckingDialog_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    SpellCheckingDialog spellCheckingDialog = (SpellCheckingDialog)this.radRichTextBox1.SpellCheckingDialog;

    Button buttonAddToDictionary = (Button)spellCheckingDialog.FindName("buttonAddToDictionary");
    buttonAddToDictionary.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
    spellCheckingDialog.Loaded -= this.SpellCheckingDialog_Loaded;
}

Another option will be to create your own implementation of SpellCheckingDialog, inheriting the default one, and do something similar in it. In this case you should mark it with CustomSpellCheckingDialogAttribute in order for MEF to load the new dialog and display it instead of the default one.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

All the best,

Thanks Boby,
that was exactly was I was looking for.

Do you know how I can achieve the same result using your static class: RadSpellChecker ?
How can I get the instance of the spell checking dialog that the static class is using?

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,

We are glad we could help you. Now to your second question. Currently RadSpellChecker doesn't support modification of its pop-up dialogs, except the ones exposed in RadSpellChecker.WindowSettings property. There you can find properties regarding window's position and theme. In the future we will expand the available properties.

If you have other questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Best wishes,
