    Adding Spell Check Functionality to Textboxes

    I have a couple of textboxes on my form. I'd like to give the user the opportunity to spell-check these textboxes so that they can correct their mistakes and then update the contents of the textbox into the database.

    Only thing is, I'm not sure where to begin. I found this thread by Martin Liss, but it errors out for me as it's not .NET.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    Can't help but think that while that code works well - there has to be a simpler, shorter way....

    Check out my spell check in my sig, it is open source and written completely in VB.Net

    EDIT: Oh and it is also doesn't require word / Internet connection etc and is simple to use ... it can spell check all of the textboxes in your project by just going: StartupForm.EnableSpellCheck()
