How to: Add Dictionaries at Runtime
This code snippet will show you how to add two dictionaries of the OpenOffice type to be used by the XtraSpellChecker instance in your application. The first dictionary is for US English, the second - for French.
We do not produce or distribute dictionary files. They are readily available at the OpenOffice.org project page.
Warning
Note that the OpenOffice license cannot be used for commercial projects.
You should put these files somewhere on your machine, and adjust the paths accordingly.
