RadSpellChecker for WinForms Q1 2015 with custom dictionary

[Guillermo]

Hello!, I implement a spell check control using a custom (spanish) dictionary without problem using Telerik UI for WinForms R3 2017.

But now, I need to implement the same functionality using Telerik UI for WinForms Q1 2015 (SpellChecker.dll version 2015.1.225.40) and I can't compile my code:

Thank you in advance!

.... at form you can use it:

Hello, Guillermo,    

The WordDictionary and DocumentSpellChecker were introduced in version 2016.3.1024. Hence, you need to upgrade to at least this version in order to benefit from the introduced functionality. 

Alternatively, add a reference to Telerik.WinControls.RichTextBox which should be available in the old version and import Telerik.WinControls.RichTextBox.Proofing. Then, the code is expected to be compiled.

Note that most of the forum threads are reviewed by Telerik representatives and sometimes we address the questions asked by our customers in the forums as well. However, a post in the forum doesn't guarantee you a response from the Telerik support team. Moreover, threads are handled according to license and time of posting, so if it is an urgent problem, we suggest you use a support ticket.

Thank you for your understanding.

It works!

You must create manually a reference to use it: 

Dim spcCheck As New Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadSpellChecker

...

spcCheck.AutoSpellCheckControl = txtObervaciones
FG.Controles.Comunes.setearDiccionario(spcCheck)

Thank you very much!.
