NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.SpellChecker

#Declaration

[DefaultValue(false)]
[XtraSerializableProperty]
public bool CheckControlsInParentContainer { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
Boolean false

true if the spell check is started automatically when any control within a container gets focus; otherwise, false.

#Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type Path to CheckControlsInParentContainer
SpellChecker
.CheckAsYouTypeOptions .CheckControlsInParentContainer

#Remarks

If the CheckControlsInParentContainer property value is set to true, the spell checker activates the Check As You Type mode for a control on a form when this control gets a focus. So, misspelled words in a control’s text are underlined whenever a user enters the control.

Note

You can disable spell check for a particular control at design time by setting the CanCheckText on … field value in the Property Grid to false.
