Hi Karunakar,

It is not possible to SpellCheck, suing RadSpell, without showing the RadSpell dialog. Maybe the RadEditor's Ajax SpellChecker will meet your requirements. You can review it bellow:

Hi George,

I am also having the same kind of scenario. The expected output is not like as shown in the the review link given by you.

var str = "This is a samplee tesst message for Spelll checking.";

On button click, i should known with an alert box that "string contains spell errors" or "no spell errors found".

my second question is,

User may or may not chage the content with the available suggestions while spell checking. Is there any way to find whether the content has been modified, after the specll cheker dialog box is dismissed.

Hi Sambasiva,

We answered your other support ticket. For convenience I pasted the answer bellow:

You should be able to call the spell check service directly and then check if there are misspelled words in the response. For example:

<rad:SpellCheckService ID="SpellCheckService1" runat="server" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function check(textToCheck)
{
    var spellService = window["SpellCheckService1"];
    var response;
    spellService.SpellCheck(textToCheck,function(sender, args)
{
if (args && args.BadWords && args.BadWords.length>0)
    alert ("String contains spell mistakes");
else
    alert ("No spell mistakes exists in the given string");
});
}
</script>

Note that, the SpellCheck service is asynchronous - this means that the alerts will be fired in a separate function, which is called after the spell response has been received.


The provided solution is for the ASP.NET version of the control, because you have pointed RadSpell for ASP.NET in the support ticket.

I hope this helps.

This doesn't work in our version of the RadControls.  According to Visual Studio, there is no public ID property and no public methods on the SpellCheckService class in Telerik.Web.UI.dll, v4.0.30319.

Hello,

The code is for the classic (ASP.NET) version of RadSpell and you are using the new (ASP.NET AJAX) version. The control used in the example is not present in the new version, but you can write a quick workaround using the ASP.NET AJAX page methods feature. Here is some sample code for RadSpell for ASP.NET AJAX:

ASP.NET:
<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true" >
</telerik:RadScriptManager>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function check(textToCheck)
    {
        PageMethods.SpellCheck(textToCheck, checkFinished, checkError);
    }
    function checkError(error)
    {
        alert(error.get_message());
    }
    function checkFinished(errorCount)
    {
        if (errorCount && !isNaN(errorCount) && errorCount > 0)
            alert("String contains spell mistakes");
        else
            alert("No spell mistakes exists in the given string");
    }
</script>

//in your code file
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod]
public static int SpellCheck(string text)
{
    SpellChecker sc = new SpellChecker(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/RadSpell"));
    sc.Text = text;
    var errors = sc.CheckText();
    return errors.Count;
}

All the best,
