Spell Check against multiple TXTextControls

[chris_balcer]

I was attempting to upgrade from 13.0 -> 15.0 using the integrated version of RapidSpell rather than the version purchased directly from Keyoti. I have been able to get things to compile, but I cannot seem to get the spell checker to work across multiple controls. Our forms can have up to 8-10 TXTextControl instances on each form, thus there needs to be a method to check all controls with a single menu-click. I tried the following with no luck:

 public override void SpellcheckAllControls()
        {
            // does not work -- AddTextComponent does not seem to work
            //rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteTitle);
            //rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteRatingChg);
            //rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteComments);
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();

            // only checks last misspelled word in last instance of controls (rteComments)
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.TextControl = rteTitle;
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();

            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.TextControl = rteRatingChg;
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();

            //rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteComments);
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.TextControl = rteComments;
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();



            // pre-upgrade spellchecker code (used to be easy)
            //rsdSpellCheckAllControls.ThirdPartyTextComponentToCheck = null;
            //rsdSpellCheckAllControls.ThirdPartyTextComponentsToCheck = new Keyoti.RapidSpell.ISpellCheckableTextComponent[] { new TextBoxBaseWrapper(wbtRNTitle), txaRatingChg, txaComments };
            //rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();
        }

Any help would be greatly appreciated because it seems by buying your version of the product we have gone backwards in our upgrade.
Thank you.

Dear Chris,

I tried the first code and it works fine for me

//rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteTitle );
//rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteRatin gChg);
//rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteComme nts);
rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();

this is definitely the recommended way to do it.

But, you tried this too

rsdSpellCheckAllControls.TextControl = rteTitle;
rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();

rsdSpellCheckAllControls.TextControl = rteRatingChg;
rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();

this will fail because RapidSpellDialog does not block on Check, so if you want to do this, you need to set

RapidSpellDialog.Modal=true

But I would suggest sticking with AddTextComponent. If it doesn't work could you send a sample project?

Regards,
Fabian

I attempted to use the code you suggested, see method below:

public override void SpellcheckAllControls()
       {
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteTitle);
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteRatingChg);
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.AddTextComponent(rteComments);
            rsdSpellCheckAllControls.Check();
        }

And I get the following error:

System.Exception was unhandled by user code
  Message="Cannot call RapidSpellDialog.Check() without setting a text box to check. See TextBoxBaseToCheck or ThirdPartyTextComponentToCheck properties."
  Source="TXTextControl.RapidSpell.NET"

  InnerException:

Any ideas what could be causing this? I have v15.0 SP1 for both the TxTextControl and TX RapidSpell. It seems that the properties the exception are referring to are from the Keyoti "direct" version of RapidSpell based on the way we had it previously implemented.

Any additional help would be extremely helpful. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Got the fix... I was not setting the TextControl at design time. Instead I was setting all of the controls to check during the call to the function. When I set the TextControl property = rteTitle at design time, then added the additional controls at runtime; the control works as planned. So... good to go, but not too intuitive.
