[Solved] Automatic spell checking without clicking button

[J]

Hi,

I would like to use the editor like a textbox but use the spell checking facility.  Therefore I have a few questions:

1. Is it possible to remove the toolbar?  If so, how is this done?

2. Is it possible to simply highlight mispelt words as the user is typing instead of forcing them to click on a button to perform the spell check?

Thanks,
J

Hello J,

My suggestion is to use the solution provided in the following live example: Displaying RadEditor as a TextBox. You can remove the toolbar buttons from the toolsfile and keep only the SpellCheck icon.

The automatic inline spellchecking is currently not supported by RadEditor and for that reason you should keep the SpellCheck icon in the ShowOnFocus toolbar or start the spellchecker from external button.

Please, note that Firefox offers built-in inline spellchecking and your users could use it instead of the editor's spellchecker.

All the best,

Hi,

Thanks for the response. 

In the example you directed me to, the toolbar shows up on top of the textbox.

Is it possible to have the toolbar show up on the right of the textbox?

I tried putting the following in the xml tools file

<tools DockingZone="Right" />

But it doesn't work properly.  The popup toolbar is empty, and the spell check button displays inside the textbox and doesn't disappear when the user clicks outside the textbox.

Thanks.

Hi J,

The ShowOnFocus toolbar mode is not designed to be used with toolbars having Right Docking zone.

If you would lie you can use the default toolbar mode with right docking zone as it is demonstrated in the attached project.
