Hello Harry
I agree this needs fixing as the spell checking is very badly implemented and is not really usable.
It looks like it was geared around European operations where Open Office obviously has more of a hold but in Australia, none of my clients will use Open Office and I imagine the same would hold true in America.
V12 Has a spell check as right click option in an edit control but it doesn't work and I couldn't find any doco for it, but I assume it would work if I set up for Open Office.
There are currently two ways to implementing the spellcheck which means two sets of code which is not the way to implement any process
Windev is a high level language. There should be a simple command to nominate the spelling provider in a global sense for the app.
AAFSpellcheck = "MSWord" or AAFSpellcheck = "OpenOffice" That style of syntax then leaves room for other types of spell checking to be implemented if required.
The AAFSpellcheck() option for spellchecking is then either on or off for a control.
A spellcheck button needs to be added to the RTF editing bar so that the current control can be checked.
Spellchecking can also be done with a separate button using AAFExecute()
