RadSpellCheck - Dictionary Location?

[Arthur Colman]

How is a dictionary loaded into the RadSpellChecker (UI product)?

I'm working with the beta of the RichTextBox and I have been able to integrate it along with the RadRibbonUI control that you have provided (by the way quite nice, thanks). It was able to figure out that the SpellChecker associated with the RichTextBox is separate from the SpellChecker used to correct the spelling errors. I have been able to load a .tdf file from the web product into the RichTextBox.SpellChecker and only misspelled words are flagged in the RichTextBox and in the SpellChecker UI.

I can even add words to the dictionary and the additions are retained across uses of the program, so I know that my additions are being stored somewhere. But where?

Just to be clear. I do know how to load a dictionary into the DocumentSpellChecker that is associated with the RichTextBox but I do not know how to load a dictionary into the RadSpellChecker nor do I know where updates made via RadSpellChecker are stored.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Arthur Colman,

New words are added to custom separated dictionary stored in the application isolated storage file system. You can access it by using the following code snippet:

using (IsolatedStorageFileStream fileStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream("CustomDictionary.txt", FileMode.Open, IsolatedStorageScope.Application))
{
   using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fileStream))
   {
      string word;
      while ((word = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
      {
          if (word != string.Empty)
          {

          }
      }
   }
}

how to add words in to dictionary programmatically?

Hello Kapil,

You should use the code snippet below:

RadSpellChecker spellCheker = new RadSpellChecker();
Type yourTextControlType = typeof(RadTextBox);
IControlSpellChecker controlSpellChecker = spellCheker.GetControlSpellChecker(yourTextControlType);
controlSpellChecker.SpellChecker.AddWord("yourWord");

Note that you should initialize yourTextControlType variable with the text control type that you want to spell check.

All the best,
