[Solved] Spell Check functionality is not starting from first word.

[Babita Sobhani]

Hi
I am using version ="1.0" of RadEditor with SpellCheck option.
When Spellcheck starts, and if first word on the editor is wrong. Then though this word is highlighted, but SpellCheck options do not appear under this word. It starts from the second word, and the first word remains highlighted, unless I place the cursor on the word and click.
If the first word is correct then Spellcheck functionality works fine.
Request if anyone could help me out withthis issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Babita,

There is no 1.0 version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. You could verify the version of the controls that you are using by checking the version of the Telerik.Web.UI.dll file in your project's bin folder.
As for the problem that you experience, if you are using an old version of the controls, I would suggest to consider upgrading to a more recent one. You could test the behavior of the Ajax spellchecker in the latest release in this demo.

I have upgraded version of controls to Q1 2009 version of RadEditor. Still the problem persists, i.e as soon as autospellcheck starts, though the first word is highlighted in yellow but the spellcheck options start from second word only.
Please guide me to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance !!

Hello Babita,

I am still unable to reproduce the problem (see attached video). Please open a support ticket and send us a sample project that reproduces this behavior and we will check it right away.

What is the current version of Telerik with the spellcheck functionality. Does IE8 support this functionality? Do we have to set any property so that the spell check happens from the starting of the text in the control?

Kindly find the attached file for the case which does not work for us. The first word is highlighted but the spell check suggestion dropdown is not shown properly.

Hi Babita,

Were you able to reproduce the problem with the latest official version Q1 2010 of RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX? You can test the editor in its Default Example?

If you are able to reproduce the problem, please attach a screenshot or screenshots demonstrating your test.

            editor.AttachEventHandler ("RADEVENT_PASTE", function (sender, e)
            {
                window.setTimeout("cleanUpText()", 50);
            });

            editor.AttachEventHandler ("oncontextmenu", function (sender, e)

               return false;
            });

            //Added for AutoSpellCheck
            setTimeout(function()
          {
          editor.Fire("AjaxSpellCheck");
          }, 1000);

        }

The spellcheck highlights all the incorrect words but shows the correction dropdown since the 2nd incorrect word.

Hello Babita,

You have posted your question in the forum for RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX (Telerik.Web.UI.dll). I saw however from the provided code that you use the classic version of RadEditor (RadEditor.dll), but not the new and much enhanced RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX.

You have also not answered my questions in my earlier message, e.g.
Were you able to reproduce the problem with the latest official version Q1 2010 of RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX? You can test the editor in its Default Example. Could you please answer this question?

If you are unable to reproduce the problem, which means that it is fixed, then my recommendation is to migrate to the new editor, because the development of RadEditor Classic is discontinued from more than 2 years ago and we do not support it. We develop the new RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX only and bug fixes are provided only for the new version.
