20130521 - i00 Spell Check and Control Extensions -No Third Party Components Required

[jwinney]

Jwinney, can you assist me with getting the spell checker to work with my project in vb 2010?

I'm not an expert but here is what I did in detail:

• Open the project in VB 2010
• Let it do the conversion to a VB 2010 project
• Right Click 'Tests' in the Solution Explorer and Remove
• Right Click i00SpellCheck in the Solution Explorer -> Properties
• Click the Compile Tab then Advanced Compile Options... button.
• Change Target framework (all configurations) option to .NET Framework 4 -> OK

• Open [Solution Explorer] SpellCheck -> Textbox.vb
• Expand 'Textbox'
• Replace the parentTextBox_TextChanged sub with this one (by jim400):

    Private Sub parentTextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mc_parentTextBox.TextChanged
        'RepaintTextBox()
        'parentTextBox.Invalidate()
        If parentTextBox.TextLength = 0 Then
            If Settings.ShowMistakes Then
                CloseOverlay()
                OpenOverlay()
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

• Open [Solution Explorer] About -> AutoGrowLabel.vb
• Remove the following line from near the top:

<System.ComponentModel.Browsable(True), Editor(GetType(System.ComponentModel.Design.MultilineStringEditor), GetType(UITypeEditor))> _

• File -> Save All
• Build -> Build i00Spellcheck

In your own project:

• Project -> Properties
• Click the Compile Tab then Advanced Compile Options... button.
• Change Target framework (all configurations) option to .NET Framework 4 -> OK
• Click the References Tab and Add... Browse and find the i00Spellcheck.exe file from the i00Spellcheck project (SpellCheck\i00SpellCheck\bin\Debug)
• Copy the following files from SpellCheck\i00SpellCheck\bin\Debug to YOUR projects Debug folder

def.def
dic.dic
syn.syn
def (folder)

Add either Me.EnableSpellCheck() to the Form1_Load or <yourtextbox>.SpellCheck() somewhere else.

(Optional) Add a button with the following code to show full spell check window <yourtextbox>.SpellCheck.ShowDialog()
