Hi there

I've recently purchased your web control suite and am currently converting a clients application to use the EO SpellChecker component.

They are currently using Polar spellchecker but we have ugraded their server and wanted to ratify all third party components.

Could you tell me if the followimg are possible using the EO Spell Checker?

To restrict the spell check process by ignoring words that are UPPERCASE
To restrict the spell check process by ignoring words that contain numbers
To restrict the spell check process by ignoring words that are HTML (without using in conjunction with the EO Editor)

Also when 'adding to dictionary', is this an addition to the dictionary being used by the Spell Checker at that instance or is their a defined custom dictionary file that can be made? If so what directory structure would I use instead of the defined locale structure?


Many Thanks in advance

Russ

well I think I've answered my own questions to a large degree.

I see how to programmatically do the UPPERCASE, NUMBER and HTML restrictions. I presume I can add a checkbox control to the dialog content template and handle them in the cs file.

Is there a way of starting the spellchecker off and showing the dialogue without using a startbutton. Can I get the dialogue to start on page_load?

Thanks

Hi,

SpellChecker offers several properties for you to specify whether to ignore certain words:

http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/eo.web.spellchecker.ignoreallcapital.aspx
http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/eo.web.spellchecker.ignorenonalpha.aspx

The first option should ignore UPPERCASE and the second option should ignore NUMBER and HTML for you.

When user clicks "Add to Dictionary", the word is added to a custom dictionary file (a plain text file) inside the same dictionary directory. You can use Windows Explorer to check for the files and you will see an additional file is created inside that directory. The file is created in the same directory where the main dictionary file is. So directory structure is the same.

You can start the SpellChecker by calling the spell checker's client side start method:

http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/jsdoc.public.spellchecker.start.aspx

It will be something like this:

Code: JavaScript 
eo_GetObject("SpellChecker1").start();


Note that you want to avoid calling this method too soon (before the page is fully loaded). So you may want to use setTimeout to delay the call. For example,

Code: JavaScript 
setTimeout(
    function()
    {
        eo_GetObject("SpellChecker1").start();    
    }, 1000);


Thanks!


Thanks!
