    Text Box Spell Check

    Is there anyway to enable spell-checking for user input in a Text Box?
    Either auto spell-check or create a spell-check button. Using VB 2005.

    Certainly not directly ... To do that you'll need some sort of third party
    tool to do that. You could automate the office spell checker engine but i
    think there may be licensing issues with that approach.

    Or you could use a library like NetSpell

      Hmmm.. this is unfortunate. A function built-in to Access as early as
      version '97 doesn't make it into Visual Studio 2005? There's got to be a
      way to spell-check.

        What development framework actually have support for spell checking? I don't
        know of any. Please name some, preferably mainstream.

        The .NET framework does not ship with a spell checking component. As you can
        imagine, this would be a very complicated thing to write, especially given
        internationaliz ation, would MS be then expected to ship a version that could
        spell check all the languages?

        In any case, there are probably some free components out there - there is
        the usual risk you take with those. There are also plenty of places selling
        fully functional spell checkers that include support, etc.

          Do you have any recommendations ?

            Hi Ryan,

            Yes, currently there is no built-in spelling check in .NET framework.
            Developing a spelling check function on your own requires dictionary and
            other components, which seems to be very complex. In this case, it's better
            to use a 3rd-party component to achieve this.

                  Just a follow up. I decided on using ComponentOne's spell check object. So
                  far have implemented it in 2 production applications and feedback has been
                  positive. A lot of the other objects that come with the package are pretty
                  handy as well.

                      Re: Text Box Spell Check

                      Ryan,

                      Just a word of caution. The company I work for uses Component One grid
                      objects in our software. Another company in the same industry, different
                      focus, also uses Component One's grid objects and both of us have to be very
                      careful about how we register the objects. Component One provided us with an
                      application to register their objects literally, while they provided a
                      method to the other company to register the files referentially. The two
                      methods do not work well together at all. We are trying to get Component One
                      to fix this issue, but so far they have been unresponsive. The closest we
                      have been able to come to a resolution to this issue is to get rid of the
                      Component One objects or have the two applications installed on two seperate
                      computers.

                      Just a follow up. I decided on using ComponentOne's spell check object.
                      So far have implemented it in 2 production applications and feedback has
                      been positive. A lot of the other objects that come with the package are
                      pretty handy as well.

                        Hear hear! I've also had quite a number of problems with component one's
                        controls ... I've had enough and after evaluating Infragistics and
                        DevExpress for 2 months now I'm still unable to pick one horse and run with
                        it!

                        Here's a spell check component that looks interesting --plus comes with
                        full source code. Not free though

                          Bruce,

                          Thanks for the warning. All the software I develop is only used in-house
                          (currently) so at the time being I don't forsee any conflicts with other 3rd
                          party software. I will definitely keep this issue in mind though.
