ISpellCheckService.GetSpellingSuggestions(String) Method

Generates suggestions on how to replace a misspelled word.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

string[] GetSpellingSuggestions(
    string word
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
word	String	A misspelled word.

Returns

Type	Description
String[]	An array of suggestions.

Remarks

If the CheckWordSpelling(String) method determines that a word is misspelled, the Rich Text Editor passes the misspelled word to the GetSpellingSuggestions method. This method should build and return a spelling suggestion array. The context menu displays the generated suggestions, if any. If the method returns an empty array, the context menu displays No suggestions.

The MaxSuggestionCount property specifies the maximum number of suggestions the context menu should display. For instance, if you set this property to 3, the context menu displays up to 3 suggestions. If the GetSpellingSuggestions method generates more than 3 suggestions, the context menu displays only the first 3 suggestions from the array.

The following code snippet implements an ISpellCheckService interface:

using DevExpress.Blazor.RichEdit;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Globalization;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;

public class MySpellCheckService : ISpellCheckService {
    public CultureInfo Culture { get; set; }
    public bool AddToDictionaryEnabled { get; }
    public int MaxSuggestionCount { get; }
    string PathToDictionary { get;}
    List<string> CorrectWords { get;}

    public MySpellCheckService(string path) {
        PathToDictionary = path;
        Culture = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
        AddToDictionaryEnabled = true;
        MaxSuggestionCount = 7;
        CorrectWords = File.ReadLines(PathToDictionary).ToList();
        CorrectWords.Sort();
    }

    public void AddToDictionary(string word) {
        if (Culture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName == "en") {
            word = word.ToLower();
            int placeToInsert = CorrectWords.BinarySearch(word);
            CorrectWords.Insert(placeToInsert, word);
            File.AppendAllText(PathToDictionary, word + '\n');
        }
    }

    public bool CheckWordSpelling(string word) {
        if (Culture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName == "en") {
            int index = CorrectWords.BinarySearch(word.ToLower());
            return (index >= 0);
        }
        return false;
    } 

    public string[] GetSpellingSuggestions(string word) {
        List<string> suggestions = new List<string>();
        // Generate suggestions and add them to the list
        return suggestions.ToArray();
    }
}
