    Spell checker within VB6

    I am developing a VB6 application and want a simple spell checker to work with (to spell check my richtext control). I would rather use aspell or hunspell, but I can't seem to find an example for VB6. Can anyone provide me with one or give me a link? I would rather not use the Microsoft Word dlls (can't guarantee our users have it installed). Thanks.

    If MS Office is available to you, maybe you could piggy back on it's spell checker.

    You may want to google a bit more. I didn't spend a lot of time googling but didn't find too much info on aspell. However, I did find its documentation.

    Both RobDog888 and I have spell checkers in our signatures, however both use Word.

    Thank you, but what if the end-user doesn't have Office installed? Even if they do, how do I know the future editions of office will work with it?

    P.S. I have the documentation of aspell. I just wanted some examples in VB6 code. Basic examples in aspell or hunspell to help me get my feet wet.
