Triggering Spellchecker on Page_Load

Scenario

How to trigger the spellchecker on Page_Load.

Solution

You can trigger the spellcheck on Page_Load, but you have to use a client-side approach:

Set the spellcheck ButtonType property to "None"
Set the body OnLoad event like this:

ASP.NET

<body onload="setTimeout(function() { $find('<%= RadSpell1.ClientID %>').startSpellCheck(); }, 100);">  
   <form id="form2" runat="server">
	   <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">
	   </asp:ScriptManager>
	   <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text="baad speeleng"></asp:TextBox>
	   <telerik:RadSpell RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadSpell1" runat="server" ControlToCheck="TextBox1" ButtonType="None"/>
   </form>
</body>
