Hi

Is it possible to use a spell check in a windows and/or asp
application.

Say, there is some text in a textbox. How can we run a spell check on
the contents.

If there are any resources available on internet please let me know.

thanks

In the VB Resource kit for vs 2003, there are a host of components from
ComponentOne. In that batch of components is the C1Spell control. I've neve
used it myself but it's there and it's free.

Hi Newish,

SpellCheckAnywhere is a great program that works with essentially any
Microsoft compatible application or textbox. It is reliable, fast and
inexpensive. A number of different dictionaries are included with the
software. You can execute it from a VB program using SendKeys if this is
of interest.
There is a free trial.
See: http://www.spellcheckanywhere.com/

Wow, for some of those prices, you can buy Infragistics components for
..Net. One of them is a spell checking control.

I've had the ComponentOne and Infragistics stuff in the past and it looks
great value. Problem is that its subscription software, so the cost is
on-going, which put me off to the point where I no longer use them at all. I
much prefer the old model of buying a product and picking for myself when I
choose to upgrade it.

Steve - You can purchase just the control if you want and then upgrade it
(for a fee) when you want. You don't have to maintain a subscription to
continue to use the product.

HTH,

Brian,

You seem to be right. I read the license on their site, and no where
did I find that you lose the right to develop with it after a set
amount of time.

Andy
 
But you don't get bug fixes unless you subscribe. I'm rather more used to
the model that says I buy a product and, until the next major release, I get
bug fixes done free. With the subscription model, I have no option but to
subscribe or pay again every time I find a bug that needs fixing.

I used to subscribe to Component One and found that my quarterly
subscription was little more than the maintenance fixes that I would have
expected to get normally for free.
