RE: spell check in v15
Hi Chuck,
I noticed that right after hitting send on my earlier email, I am working up a bug report for it now:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the SPELL CHECKING command in a form event for an object, with either On Losing Focus or On Data Change,
will trigger the spell checking dialog, but choosing to replace words from this dialog will not replace the misspelled words.
Systems this bug is reproducible with:
=============================
Windows 10 using
4D Mono 15.2+ builds 198931 & 203314
4D Mono 15R5 build 203346 (both 64 and 32 bit)
4D Mono MAIN build 203345 (both 64 and 32 bit)
Systems this bug is not reproducible with:
================================
Windows 10 using:
4D Mono 15.1 build 192845
4D Mono 15R4 build 200345 & 202220 (both 64 and 32 bit)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does work in all of the versions listed above is using a (non-focusable) button on the form that uses SPELL CHECKING in it's On Clicked event.
Kind Regards,
Tim PENNER

Hi Tim,
Unless I do not understand how this works (we are using 15.2), In on losing focus event, I tried
spell check The window comes up but no changes to data happen
I then tried spell check text (self->) Same result
Regards
Chuck

There is a setter for the object property, "auto-spellcheck":
OBJECT SET AUTO SPELLCHECK
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15R4/4D/15-R4/OBJECT-SET-AUTO-SPELLCHECK.301-2825751.en.html
However the behavior of the auto-spellcheck changed in v14. The "auto-spellcheck" feature no longer displays a dialog but instead will constantly check the object and underline misspelled words in red, allowing the user to use the contextual menu to correct the words.
This new behavior is documented in the v14 Upgrade Manual on Pages 84-89: ftp://ftp-public.4d.fr/Documents/Products_Documentation/LastVersions/Line_14/VIntl/PDF_Format/4D_v14_Upgrade.pdf

Thanks that's got it I wish I did not have to write code for every object too bad there was not a setter for this

Hi Chuck,
Take a look at the following commands that may help you:
SPELL CHECKING
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15R4/4D/15-R4/SPELL-CHECKING.301-2824711.en.html
This can be used in a form object method like this (I put it behind a variable):
Case of
: (Form Event=On Losing Focus)
SPELL CHECKING
End case
Then tabbing out of the variable triggers the spell check.
SPELL CHECK TEXT
http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15R4/4D/15-R4/SPELL-CHECK-TEXT.301-2824706.en.html
This could be used programmatically instead of leaving it up to the user.
Kind Regards,
Tim PENNER
