Add spell checking and thesaurus functionality to any Visual Basic application. VSSPELL is a custom control library consisting of vsSpell and vsThesaurus. Just place the control on your form and your end users instantly have the power of VSSPELL's 250,000+ word American English dictionary. It features the ability to generate suggestions for bad words, create new main dictionaries based on existing dictionaries (e.g. Microsoft Word), ignore all or change all bad words, and utilities to build and maintain dictionaries. ComponentOne VSSPELL includes add-on British English, Spanish, and Dutch dictionaries.

VSSPELL is sold as part of ComponentOne Studio Enterprise and the ComponentOne Studio for ActiveX

Main Features Include:

As-you-type Spell Checking (Regular Text Boxes and RTF) - Link the VSSpell control to any textbox or rich textbox to monitor the control to underline user spelling mistakes with a wiggly red line just like Microsoft Word. Or provide users with custom warnings!

AutoLink to RichTextEdit Controls - You can also link the control to regular TextEdit or RichTextEdit controls to correct spelling mistakes without disturbing the text format

Unlimited Text Length - Spell-check a word, a sentence, a paragraph, or entire documents at once!

Improved AutoLinkHwnd Property - While spell checking, the VSSpell control will automatically highlight offending words and fix them when the user interacts with the built-in bad-word dialog box

Enhanced Bad-Word Dialog Box - You can set the font to be used in the bad-word dialog box, so it looks consistent with your application. Users can also click a checkbox to enable or disable suggestions. And the bad-word dialog box now "remembers" its position when the user moves it around the screen, making it much easier and more intuitive to use

Dependency Free - VSSPELL does not depend on any additional DLLs. To distribute applications that use VSSPELL, simply include the VSSPELL.OCX and VSSP_AE.DCT (the main dictionary file) in your setup

Faster Spell Checking - These version spell-checks documents twice as fast as previous versions

Larger Dictionary (250,000+ Words) - There's also a larger built-in dictionary (over four times the entries of the previous version)

Improved Object Model - VSSPELL is backward-compatible with earlier versions of the control, and expands the original object model with many useful new methods, properties, and events that allow you to customize behavior such as: monitoring activity and adding words to be automatically ignored or changed; defining the appearance of detected spelling errors, and the actions to be taken when spelling errors are detected; and providing user feedback

Plus:

Maximized Efficiency - VSSPELL employs a word caching technique to maximize speed and efficiency. The word cache is a list of up to 1,000 commonly misspelled words that are stored in the OCX. This results in fewer dips into the dictionary, and faster access to suggested spellings. The supplied thesaurus and dictionary will display French, American English, Spanish, or German languages with the simple adjustment of one default value (a 250,000 word American English Dictionary is provided)

Custom Dictionaries - VSSPELL features a powerful utility that allows the creation of custom-built dictionaries and thesaurus files that you may distribute with your application. At design-time, building a custom dictionary (or thesaurus) is as simple as launching the included DictUtil.exe utility (ThesUtil.exe, respectively) and "dumping" the specified dictionary file (.DCT) into a text file with a single button click. Once in the .TXT format, you may open and edit the file with any word processing editor to build up to five different custom libraries. The Dictionary Utility allows you to set read-only or read/write permissions to any dictionary file you create with the simple selection of a checkbox, allowing users to add new wordsor notto your dictionary. Once you are finished modifying the .TXT file, you may use the utility to convert it back to the .DCT format and distribute it with your application. Customized dictionaries and thesaurus files are particularly helpful for words and phrases specific to certain industries

Trim Size - At only 160K, the VSSpell OCX is a must-have. (Note, however, that custom dictionaries can grow to 2MB)

Add spell checking and thesaurus functionality to any Visual Basic application.
