Spell check for multiple text box in server side via toolbar in master page

[Chuanbo]

Hi,
I have seen the demo for check multiple textbox on client side. but we need to put the RadSpell check on toolbar of the Master Page.

and for every content page, i would set the ControlToCheck property dynamically by programme, but this only support single control, how to support multiple text control to check?

another question associated with this is that, since i am using RadToolBar, i want to set the spell check as an image button. but when I set the ButtonType as ImageButton, it doenst work.

thanks in advance.

Hi Chuanbo,

The ControlToCheck property allows the spellchecker to spellcheck only one element on time.
If you want to spellcheck multiple elements on time then please review the solution provided in the following live example: Checking Multiple Controls. The solution is client-side based and if needed you can output the JavaScript code from the server by using the Page.RegisterStartupScript method.

In regards to your second question: The ButtonType = ImageButton will render the spellcheck button as image on the page. However, you want to add a spellcheck button on the RadToolBar control which is different scenario. You need to add a custom button to the RadToolBar, to hide the spellchecker with ButtonType="None" and in the onclick event of the RadToolBar button to fire the spellchecker with:

       var spell = GetRadSpell('<%= spell1.ClientID %>');
       spell.startSpellCheck();

I'd like to request that you add another property to the RadSpell called "ControlsToCheck" which lets you comma separate a few textbox ID's.  You could make it flag a compile time error if both properties "ControlToCheck" and "ControlsToCheck" are filled.  I don't want to have all of that client code all over the place in my application, I would like to be able to just list a few textboxes and have the control handle everything. (This should definitely be possible.) Thanks!

Hi Robert,

I logged it in our ToDo list and we will consider its implementation for one of the future spell versions. We do appreciate your feedback and updated your Telerik points.

I would like that property too! Would be a lot easier!!!

Hello,

I have just tested the current internal build of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX and I saw that the ControlsToCheck property is already present and working. The property accepts an array of IDs - either server-side or client-side html controls. The public RadControls Q2 2008 release should be out sometime next week.
