hello,

i have purchased & installed Spell for a VS.NET 2003 Windows Forms app. i have explored the demo and made some modifications to the FormSpell.vb, and it works great.

but, when i move my modified-form into my own project (which as the Aspose.Spell Reference and .lic file), the spell checker behaves strangely -- it fails to detect any misspelled words! GetNextWrongWord() never returns anything, when it should for test words such as "xxxTest".

- i am loading the US dictionary file off the file system.
- my own project resides on a different computer than the test project.
- copying the test project to my dev computer works -- the test project picks up misspelled words.

what could be the trouble?


thanks
matt

will do.

in the mean while, here is my forms code:



SOME FORM: has rtbNarrative, and btnSpellCheck
---------------------------------------------------

Private spell As Spell = New Spell

Private Sub btnSpellCheck_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSpellCheck.Click

        'Start spell checking.
        Dim frmSpellChecker As SpellChecker = New SpellChecker(Me.rtbNarrative, Me.spell)
        frmSpellChecker.ShowDialog(Me)

End Sub



SPELLCHECKER FORM:
----------------------------------------------------

Private sourceTextBox As RichTextBox
Private spell As Spell


Public Sub New(ByVal sourceTextBox As RichTextBox, ByVal spell As Spell)
        MyBase.New()
        InitializeComponent()
        Me.sourceTextBox = sourceTextBox
        Me.spell = spell
End Sub


Private Sub SpellChecker_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        LoadDictionaries()

        'start checks
        spell.CheckingText = sourceTextBox.Text   'includes the bad-word "xTest"

        GetNextWord()

End Sub


Private Sub GetNextWord()

        spell.GetNextWrongWord()

        If spell.WrongWord.Length > 0 Then  'always empty???
            txtBad.Text = spell.WrongWord

            Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
            SetSuggestedWords(spell.GetCorrectWordList(spell.WrongWord))
            sourceTextBox.Select(spell.StartPos, spell.WrongWord.Length)
            Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default
        Else
            'No more wrong words. Spell checking is finished.
            sourceTextBox.Text = spell.CheckingText
            Me.Close()
            MessageBox.Show(Me.Parent, "Spell check finished.", "Spell Check", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)
        End If

End Sub

...ok, to test i copied the FormMain from the demos project and copied it into my enterprise project. Works! (uses the SpellChecker.vb dialogue i made, and finds bad words).

that means there is something amiss w/ my enterprise project's parent form (which calls the SpellChecker.vb dialogue).

what could be missing? all you need are these, right:

Private spell As Spell = New Spell

Private Sub btnSpellCheck_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSpellCheck.Click

        'Start spell checking.
        Dim frmSpellChecker As SpellChecker = New SpellChecker(Me.rtbNarrative, Me.spell)
        frmSpellChecker.ShowDialog(Me)

End Sub

...that is, a richtextbox to check, a Spell to check it with, and passing these into the SpellChecker diaglogue.

right?

found it!

my faulty-form's RichTextBox is in ALL CAPS! the default Spell options ignore this!

changed the Spell option properties. FIXED!!
