Event while adding text to dictionary

[Venki]

Hello,
I am using radeditor and just enabled spell check. I have a requirement to log some data in databse when ever user adds word to dictionary. Is there any event which fires so that I can do logging inside that? If you could send me some sample code, that would help.

Hi Venki,

RadEditor does not offer out-of-the box an event that is fired when the a custom word is added. What you can do is to implement your own custom dictionary source. You can see an example of a custom dictionary source in this KB article: Changing the custom dictionary files location.

Thanks Telerik Team. I am able to implement this and getting it working. I have changed it to add the custom word to database instead of flat file as we have 2 web servers in production, flat file will be problematic.

I have implemented it and its getting added to database and retrieves it. No issues in my sample application as I know the connection string. 

The challenge I am facing is, In my application, the connection string is getting created dynamically and I need to pass a connection string object to the "ICustomDictionarySource" implementer.

Look at the below code

<rad:radspell id="variableValueRadSpell" runat="server" buttontype="none"  CustomDictionarySourceTypeName="RRD.DSA.SCP.ObjectModel.Factories.SpellCheckFactory, RRD.DSA.SCP.ObjectModel.Factories" />

<table style="margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 8px;" border="0"

cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="590px">

<tr>

<td colspan="2">

<rad:RadEditor runat="server" Width="590px" Height="375px" ID="VariableValueEditor">

<Tools>

<rad:EditorToolGroup>

</rad:EditorToolGroup>

</Tools>

</rad:RadEditor>

</td>

</tr>

<tr><td colspan="2" class="ms-formlabel">

<asp:CheckBox ID="chkBlank" runat="server" Text="Intentionally Blank" /></td></tr>

</table>

 <script type="text/javascript">
        Telerik.Web.UI.Editor.CommandList.SpellCheck = function (commandName, editor) {
            var spell = GetRadSpell('<%= variableValueRadSpell.ClientID %>');
            spell.spellCheck(new PrometheusTextSource(editor));
            return false;
        }
        var PrometheusTextSource = function (editor) {
            this._editor = editor;
            this.get_text = function () { return this._editor.get_html(); };
            this.set_text = function (value) { this._editor.set_html(value); };
        }
</script>

Issue is, my spell check factory is not getting initialized explicitly. How can I pass connection string object to my spellcheckfactory?

Telerik Team, Any update on this?

Hi Venki,

You can pass the connection string object through the session state.
The ICustomDictionarySource is a separate object and it is not related to the rest of the application.

Kind regards,

Rumen, thanks for your reply. Even I was thinking I can use session and used it. Looks like session objects are not enabled in telerik controls. Through out my application, I can access sessions. But only when I call IcustomDatasource implemented methods, I get below error.

Is there some place I need to change in Telerik?

"
I get this error "Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive"
"

Please let me know...

Hello Venki,

I checked this scenario and can confirm that it is not possible to access the session object in a custom dictionary source for RadSpell. This happens because the RadSpell handler (Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd) does not implement the IRequiresSessionState interface. I have logged this issue and it will be fixed in the next RadControls release. For now, if you want to access the session during a spellchecking request, you need to define a custom handler, inheriting from the default SpellCheckHandler class, and mark it with the above interface. See the last reply in this forum thread for a sample implementation - http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/spell/different-custom-dictionary-path.aspx#1100817

Thanks Telerik Team. I have followed a different approach and achieved it. Will make use of this in case I need it in future.
