Spelling Dialog

If the spell checker finds a misspelled word, it automatically invokes the Spelling dialog.

The Spelling dialog is provided in two layout styles:

  • The Outlook-style Spelling dialog

Displays a misspelled word and proposed corrections.

Outlook-Style Spelling dialog

  • The Word-style Spelling dialog

Displays a sentence with a highlighted misspelled word and proposed corrections. In addition to error corrections, an end-user can make other changes in the sentence.

Word-Style Spelling Dialog

Use the spell checker’s SpellingFormType property to specify the dialog style to be shown.

In Check As You Type checking mode, an end-user can invoke the Spelling dialog by right-clicking any misspelled word (which is highlighted with a line) and clicking Spelling in the opened context menu. To programmatically invoke a specific Spelling dialog, call the dxShowOutlookSpellingDialog or dxShowWordSpellingDialog function.
