Ignore a badword from code

[vtspn]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way to ignore badwords (with REASON_DUPLICATE) from code in a document using TXTextControl and RapidSpell.

We don't want to disable the WarnDuplicates option, but after opening the document we want to ignore some specific duplicate words (or actually single characters like 'R A P P O R T') in the document. In this case the second 'P' is a badword (REASON_DUPLICATE). Selecting the specific badwords is not the problem, but ignoring the badword fails. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation.

I basically tried 2 different methods:
rapidSpellAsYouType.RapidSpellChecker.IgnoreList.A dd(badword);
-> This results (later) in a crash in TXTextControl

rapidSpellAsYouType.IgnoreOnce(badword, ayttb);
I'm not able to pass the second parameter, because I don't know how to get a suitable IAYTTextBox object and the TXTextControl as not castable to IAYTTextBox.

How should I do this? Can anybody give me a hint on this?

Thanks in advance,
Juda

I'm a step further now, but still have a problem:

As far as I can see now the IgnoreList is only used for misspelled words (and not for duplicates). The IgnoreList is updated by the IgnoreAll method, and the ArrayList contains string values (and no other object types like BadWord).

The IgnoreOnce method seems to fit better. I found the TXTextControlAdapter which is a TXTextControl wrapper for RapidSpell and now I'm able to Ignore duplicate words from code .

After the IgnoreOnce method is called, I can see the word is ignored (because the underline is gone), but if the RapidSpellDialog is used again, it prompts again for the ignored words. If now the duplicate word is ignored (again) in the dialog, it stays ignored well.

So the remaining problem is:
If a word is ignored using the IgnoreOnce method, this is not 'remembered' by the RapidSpellDialog. What can be the reason for this?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi Juda!

The simplest way to achieve the goal of having RapidSpellDialog ignore single letter duplicate words is to add this class to the project

class CRapidSpellChecker : Keyoti.RapidSpell.RapidSpellChecker

{

public override Keyoti.RapidSpell.BadWord NextBadWord()

{

Keyoti.RapidSpell.BadWord b = base.NextBadWord();

if (b != null && b.Reason == Keyoti.RapidSpell.BadWord.REASON_DUPLICATE && b.Word.Length == 1)

return NextBadWord();

else return b;

}

}

and then use it by doing this

rapidSpellDialog1.CheckerEngine = new CRapidSpellChecker();

Hi Fabian,
Thanx a lot! This is a great solution for custom spell checker rules, it also works fine for some other custom rules in our environment...

Can I also use this custom class with the RapidSpellAsYouType? Because I couldn't find a way to set a custom spell checker engine for the RapidSpellAsYouType. The 'CheckerEngine' property is not available. Now we have to implement the custom spell checker rules in 2 different ways.

So is it possible to reuse the CRapidSpellChecker class with RapidSpellAsYouType (or is this only possible with the RapidSpellDialog)?



Thanks in advance

Hi!
Yes you can set the engine in RapidSpellAsYouType, by setting it's "RapidSpellChecker" property (the name is different because the required type is different to RapidSpellDialog but it doesn't really matter). This will work for most rules, the only thing it won't work with is duplicate word rules - this is because the RapidSpellAsYouType has to process duplicate words by itself, rather than using RapidSpellChecker.
