Implementation

To implement i00 .NET Spell Check into your project, first either:

• Add the i00SpellCheck project to your solution and reference it (recommended)
• Reference the i00SpellCheck.exe file that is output from this project*
• or you can bring all of *.vb files in the "SpellCheck\Spell Check" folder (from the zip) directly into your own project (VB.Net only)*

Next, simply place this at the very top of your form:

Imports SpellCheck.i00SpellCheck

using i00SpellCheck;

Now you will be able to enable control extensions by going:

Me.EnableControlExtensions()

this.EnableControlExtensions(null);

The above line will enable control extensions on all controls that are supported on the form, and all owned forms that are opened.

Some other examples are below:

'To load a single control extension on a control call: 
ControlExtensions.LoadSingleControlExtension(TextBox1, New TextBoxPrinter.TextBoxPrinter)

'To enable spell check on single line textboxes you will need to call:
TextBox1.EnableSpellCheck()

'If you wanted to pass in options you can do so by handling the ControlExtensionAdding event PRIOR to calling EnableControlExtensions:
AddHandler ControlExtensions.ControlExtensionAdding, AddressOf ControlExtensionAdding
'Also refer to the commented ControlExtensionAdding Sub in this form for more info

'You can also enable spell checking on an individual Control (if supported):
TextBox1.EnableSpellCheck()

'To disable the spell check on a Control:
TextBox1.DisableSpellCheck()

'To see if the spell check is enabled on a Control:
Dim SpellCheckEnabled = TextBox1.IsSpellCheckEnabled()
'To see if another control extension is loaded (in this case call see if the TextBoxPrinter Extension is loaded on TextBox1):
Dim PrinterExtLoaded = TextBox1.ExtensionCast(Of TextBoxPrinter.TextBoxPrinter)() IsNot Nothing

'To change spelling options on an individual Control:
TextBox1.SpellCheck.Settings.AllowAdditions = True
TextBox1.SpellCheck.Settings.AllowIgnore = True
TextBox1.SpellCheck.Settings.AllowRemovals = True
TextBox1.SpellCheck.Settings.ShowMistakes = True
'etc

'To set control extension options / call methods from control extensions (in this case call Print() from TextBox1):
Dim PrinterExt = TextBox1.ExtensionCast(Of TextBoxPrinter.TextBoxPrinter)()
PrinterExt.Print()

'To show a spellcheck dialog for an individual Control:
Dim iSpellCheckDialog = TryCast(TextBox1.SpellCheck, i00SpellCheck.SpellCheckControlBase.iSpellCheckDialog)
If iSpellCheckDialog IsNot Nothing Then
    iSpellCheckDialog.ShowDialog()
End If

'To load a custom dictionary from a saved file:
Dim Dictionary = New i00SpellCheck.FlatFileDictionary("c:\Custom.dic")

'To create a new blank dictionary and save it as a file
Dim Dictionary = New i00SpellCheck.FlatFileDictionary("c:\Custom.dic", True)
Dictionary.Add("CustomWord1")
Dictionary.Add("CustomWord2")
Dictionary.Add("CustomWord3")
Dictionary.Save()

'To Load a custom dictionary for an individual Control:
TextBox1.SpellCheck.CurrentDictionary = Dictionary

'To Open the dictionary editor for a dictionary associated with a Control:
'NOTE: this should only be done after the dictionary has loaded (Control.SpellCheck.CurrentDictionary.Loading = False)
TextBox1.SpellCheck.CurrentDictionary.ShowUIEditor()

'Repaint all of the controls that use the same dictionary...
TextBox1.SpellCheck.InvalidateAllControlsWithSameDict()

Plugins

Since version 20120618 i00SpellCheck has plugin support.

Plugins in i00SpellCheck allow components to be spell checked by making a dll or exe file that contains a public class that inherits i00SpellCheck.SpellCheckControlBase.

They automatically get picked up and allow the spellchecking of extra controls, with no reference to the file itself required. However you will need to place them in the applications path.

The use of plugins allow users to enable spellchecking of their controls, without having to change the i00SpellCheck project.

Another use for them could be to allow the programmer to quickly see if they have spelling errors on forms etc. For example placing the LabelPlugin.exe file in an application path (that already uses i00SpellCheck) will cause all labels in the existing project to be spell checked ... with NO code changes! When the developer wants to deploy their application they simply need to remove the LabelPlugin.exe file, and labels will no longer be corrected.

• Start by creating a new project (class library or exe)
• Reference i00SpellCheck
• Make a class that inherits i00SpellCheck.SpellCheckControlBase
• Override the ControlType Property to return the type of control that you want your plugin to spell check
• Add your code

For examples on inheriting i00SpellCheck.SpellCheckControlBase check out the examples in the Plugins path in the download.

* = default startup project

Points of Interest

The words that get checked are added to a dictionary cache to speed up checking - the smaller cache is checked first. If the word is not found in the cache, then it checks the main dictionary.

I use fields (public variables) instead of properties for some basic classes, as they are about 2x faster than properties.

20120622 - FastColoredTextBox

• Changed some internal workings of the spell checker
• Added support for FastColoredTextBox with included plugin!

20120618 - Plugins!

• Cleaned up the SpellCheckTextBox class and subclasses to make settings easily editable with a property grid

20111109 - In-menu definitions, synonyms and fixes!

• Changed tooltip definitions to match more words from their word base, e.g. "suggestions" matches "suggestion" for definition since no definition is matched explicitly for suggestions and states that it is plural in the tip

• Added in-context-menu definitions for correctly spelled words (requested by Dean)
• Words with interesting cases (such as SUpport, SupporT etc) now get picked up (requested by TxDeadhead)
• Now doesn't fall over if the dictionary, definitions or synonyms files have been removed - just removes functionality for that bit
• Added synonyms; "Change to..." menu item (requested by NtEditor)

20111106 - Been busy!

• Various speed optimizations
• Dictionary is now stored as a Flat File for portability
• Added owner draw support for spelling errors

• Cleaned up the interface to made it look more professional

20111006

• Initial Release

Possible Issues

Since the Textbox has no way to really draw on it "nicely", I used to capture the WM_PAINT of the control and then draw on the textbox graphics that was set by going Graphics.FromHwnd... this seemed to work well but produced a slight flicker that I thought was undesirable...

As of version 20120102, the render method now uses layered windows (by default), this basically means that all of the underlines that appear to be drawn on the control are actually drawn on another window over the top of the control ...

So how does this affect the user? Well in most cases it doesn't, the form is click-through and only the drawings are visible not the form itself. In fact if you press start + tab in Windows Vista / 7 to activate Flip3D, it even appears on the same window!

As I said above "in most cases"...

MIDI forms I haven't tested, but am quite sure that they won't work using the new render method.

Overlapping controls appear as follows:

And if the textbox is off the form the corrections "float" off the form!

So in cases such as the above, you will have to go back to the older "compatible" rending, this can be done in these cases by going:

DirectCast(TextBox.SpellCheck, SpellCheckTextBox).RenderCompatibility = True

Thanks

A special thanks to Pavel Torgashov for his excellent FastColoredTextBox control. This control is used in the solution to test i00SpellCheck's plugin architecture with 3rd party controls. i00 has not modified this control in any way and is only responsible for integrating the spell checking ability to it via an i00SpellCheck plugin. In no way is this control required for spell checking functions in other projects within the solution.

Thanks for downloading.

Suggestions on possible improvements are much appreciated.
