RadSpell UI problem

[Rini Boo]

We are using Telerik 2009_2_826  and we found that there is some UI problems with RadSpell on IE 7 (See attached JPG), the text of "Add Custom" is not aligned properly.

Is it possible to change the wording dynamically from the code?  

I read this article, I think it is possible to hide the "Add Custom" button by using spell.AllowAddCustom = false;
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet/editor/customizingradspell.html

But is there a way to change the wording say, a shorter word from "Add Custom" to  "Custom", or even change the style sheet of these buttons?

Thanks for help,

Hi Rini Boo,

This is a known CSS bug, and it is fixed in the later versions of RadControls, so I recommend you to upgrade to Q3.2009 instead of sending you CSS fixes. However, if you prefer the CSS fix, please, let me know and I will send it to you.

Have a great weekend,

Thanks Martin,

We have downloaded the "RadControls_for_ASP.NET_AJAX_2009_3_1103_dev.msi"  from our account, we will definitely give it a try on our dev. environment later this month, but this kind of upgrade will take time to pass Dev/QA/UAT (as you can imagine).....  We still want to fix the production ASAP,  would you mind sending us the CSS fix? and please give me instructions how to apply the fix. Thanks.

Another question to you is:  is it possible to change the text on the button?  and how?

Hello Rini Boo,

You can modify the text of the buttons in the dialog of RadSpell by editing the localization files of the control. Please, refer to the following help article that describes in detail how can this be done:

http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/spell_configuration.html

To change the text of the button that invokes the dialog of RadSpell, you may use the ButtonText property of the server tag of the control.

Hello Rini Boo,

Please, accept my apologies, I forgot to send you the fix. Here it comes:

1. Create a new CSS file (for example Fix.css) in yor project, and paste the following CSS in it:

.rfdDecorated
{
    padding-left: 4px !important;
}

2. Set DialogsCssFile="Fix.css" to the server declaration of RadSpell, and make sure you specify the corect file path. This will load the fix file in the window of RadSpell.

3. Reload the page

Kind regards,
