Is it possible to have a GridHTMLEditorColumn with spell checker

Hi All,

Is it possible to add spell checking capabilities to GridHTMLEditorColumn or any details as to how to customise the editor in a GridHTMLEditorColumn?

Thanks

Hello Guido Tapia,

You can achieve your goal as you add language for spell check and spell check button.

First of all you need to add the language files and the HttpHandler for the spell check.
For further information review this link to find out how to accomplish this task.

Secondly you need to get the editor from the column's EditManager and to add the spell check button and the language which editor can spell checks.

Here is a code snippet showing how to achieve this:

    protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
            GridHTMLEditorColumnEditor editor = (GridHTMLEditorColumnEditor)item.EditManager.GetColumnEditor("HtmlColumn");
            editor.Editor.Languages.Add(new SpellCheckerLanguage("en-US", "English"));


            EditorToolGroup main = new EditorToolGroup();
            editor.Editor.Tools.Add(main);
            main.Tools.Add(new EditorSeparator());
            EditorTool spellCheck = new EditorTool();
            spellCheck.Name = "AjaxSpellCheck";
            spellCheck.ShortCut = "CTRL+L";
            main.Tools.Add(spellCheck);
            main.Tools.Add(new EditorSeparator());
        }
    }
