how to disable spell checking functionality?

[farhan iqbal]

I add a RadEditor control to my aspx page, Since spell checking functionality not required, I didn't turn it on. Now problem is, When I run my application, I got runtime error, i.e., The spellchecking functionality of RadEditor requires a dictionary file named 'en-US.tdf'.

Since, this functionality is not required, why would I suppose to add this file?

Can anyone please tell me, how to disabled spell checking functionality?

aspx source:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="radEditorBody" runat="server" SkinID="RadEditorSimple">

                    <Content>                    

                

                    </Content>

</telerik:RadEditor>

Hi Farhan,

You are using an older version of RadEditor, which searches for this TDF file. You can fix the problem by removing the AjaxSpellCheck tool from the toolbar or upgrading to the latest version.

All the best,

Now, I think use older version.
Suggestion on your link wasn't helpful. You may view the code:

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            if (!IsPostBack)

            {

                radEditorBody.EnsureToolsFileLoaded();

                RemoveButton("SpellCheck");

            }

        }

        public void RemoveButton(string name)

        {

            foreach (Telerik.Web.UI.EditorToolGroup group in radEditorBody.Tools)

            {

                EditorTool tool = group.FindTool(name);

                if (tool != null)

                {

                    group.Tools.Remove(tool);

                }

            }

        }

While debugging, I found that there isn't any control named "SpellCheck" in any of the group. Can you please specify the name?

Hello Farhan,

The name of the spellchecker on the toolbar is AjaxSpellCheck, but not SpellCheck, e.g.

Please, try:
...
RemoveButton("AjaxSpellCheck");
...

Got it. Many thanks...

But now, facing another problem, i.e., it wasn't looked user friendly. I wonder if you're familiar with this issue.

Hi Farhan,

You should make sure that you use the latest version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (Q2 2010 SP2). If you already use it, please, register the external skins of RadEditor:
- from a CDN server: CDN Support
- or from external css files: Registering an external skin of RadEditor?

If you still experience the problem after registering the external skins, please isolate it in a sample working project and send it for examination on our side through a support ticket.
