Handle RichEditSpellChecker Events

The RichEditControl.SpellChecker property obtains the RichEditSpellChecker instance. You can use this property to subscribe to the events in code-behind.

The spell checker object returned by the RichEditControl.SpellChecker property does not support user-interaction events (SpellingFormShowing, OptionsFormShowing and so on). Use the standalone spell checker to handle these events. Refer to the following articles for implementation details:
