How to: Enable Spelling Check-As-You-Type for the Rich Edit Control
This example describes how to enable check-as-you-type mode in the RichEditSpellChecker and SpellChecker objects.
Enable Check-As-You-Type Mode in RichEditSpellChecker
Use the RichEditSpellChecker.CheckAsYouType property to enable the check-as-you-type mode.
Set the DXRichEditSpellCheckerOptions.AutoDetectDocumentCulture property to true to make the RichEditControl detect the text language automatically.
Note
Consider the following limitations:
- You cannot change the color (red) or appearance (wavy) of the underline used in the RichEditControl.
- A custom dictionary specified in XAML does not save words that users add at runtime.
