SpellCheck for radTextBox

[Mat]

Hello everybody,

can anybody tell me if it is possible (and if how) to use windows default spellchecking feature?

Below there is a complete codesippit how to accomplish this with a standard control. In this sample a textBox will be added on Form1.vb. I want to do exactly the same with a radTextBox. Type some missspelled text an you will see the spellCheck feature.

Thanks for answering.
Mat

Hi Mat,

Thank you for contacting us.

This code replaces the standard WinForms textbox with the one existing in WPF. The standard textbox control does not support spell checking. Our framework uses the textbox that comes with WinForms and it cannot be replaced. Nevertheless, adding spell checking capabilities is an interesting feature and we will consider it for a future release.

Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to write me.

Best wishes,
Jack
