SpellChecker not working on subclass of RadTextBox

[Govinda]

Hello,

I would like to use the functionality of the RadTextBox and SpellChecker, but I also need to use my framework's databinding interface. So I created a subclass of the RadTextBox control and implemented the interface for binding.

public partial class SFRadTextBox : RadTextBox, IBusinessBindable

After calling spellChecker1.Check(sfRadTextBox1) I get the following error:

NotSupportedException

  No spell check for GKGInc.i2Catalog.Controls.SFRadTextBox is not supported.
   You should implement IControlSpellChecker interface.

Stack Trace:

   at Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadSpellChecker.Check(Control editControl)

Why isn't it picking up on the fact that the base class has the IControlSpellChecker interface implemented arleady?
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here and what I should be doing to get this working.

Thank You,
Govinda

Hello Govinda,

We are aware of this limitation. We have already addressed it for the up coming service pack which should be live by the end of this week. In the meantime, you should register the text box spell checker for the SFRadTextBox control:

RadSpellChecker spellChecker = new RadSpellChecker();
spellChecker.RegisterControlSpellCheker(typeof(SFRadTextBox), new TextBoxSpellChecker());

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Thanks.
That got it working.
I look forward to the upcoming service pack, though.

Did you notice that RegisterControlSpellCheker is misspelled? "Cheker" should be "Checker". Kind of a funny place to have a misspelling.

And I'm not just talking about in this article, that's the actual function name in the spell checker control.
