Integrated Spell Checker

Documents you create using the DevExpress WinForms Rich Text Editor can be spell checked by incorporating the features available within the XtraSpellChecker library.

Our WinForms Spell Checking UI is built in and doesn't require any code. Two functional modes are available to end-users via either toolbar buttons or the editor's Tools menu. The first option is to enable "Check as You Type" which displays a wavy red line under misspelled words. A second option is to start a Microsoft Office style spell checking process that enumerates all words and invokes error correction dialogs for those that are misspelled.

If you choose inline spell checking, errors can be corrected using the context menu as shown in the following image.

Error correction dialogs provide you numerous options including the ability to ignore misspelled words, add new words to custom dictionaries and access spell checking options.
