using the spell check class

[craigster1991]

i wanted to create a program that checks the contents of a rich text box when a button is pressed, but i did not want to use a word instance, as calling it is slow, and some people dont have word.
i found the spell check class in vb but cant get it to work, i can dim something as SpellCheck but i cant then use that to do anything,
can anyone give their advice/help?
sorry if its nooby, but im new here

Hey,

Welcome to the Forums!!

Can you provide some more information about the SpellCheck class that you found? We are not mind readers here, and we won't be able to help you until you provide us with some more information.

Also, if you haven't done so already, you might want to check out the following:

thanks for the reply, and yeah ive read that topic, but i dont want to use word, the class i found was on msdn, here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...pellcheck.aspx
it shows it can be used in vb, and you can make a class called spellcheck, but as there are no examples on that page, i cant work out how to use it...

That's for the presentation framework (WPF)

Hey,

Yes, as ForumAccount mentions, that Class is specific to WPF, so you will not be able to use it.

However, a quick google turned up this article:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipe...eckparser.aspx

Which, although is in C#, seems to do what you want, using this website:

http://spellcheck.net/

You might want to take a look to see if it will be any use to you.

Hope that helps!
