Hello Ben. The explanation is correct. We are waiting for the Eclipse community to develop a rich text editor for SWT to be able to utilize this spell checker. Any code contributions in that area are welcome to EPF.
Thanks and best regards, Peter Haumer. ______________________________________________________________ PETER HAUMER, Dr. rer. nat.

Works great in some kind of controls in Eclipse, but unfortunately not the rich text controls in EPF Composer. I was liaising with the plugin developer and he sent me the following information. Are there any plans to enhance EPF Composer in this area? Ben >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Ben, as an external spell checker, eSpell simply picks up SWT controls that get the focus, reads their contents and highlights errors. Editors that do not use SWT text editing controls such as Text, StyledText, Combo and CCombo cannot be supported. This is, unfortunately, the case with the RichTextEditor used in the EPF composer. I had a look in the source and found that this editor was implemented using the Browser widget - which simply hosts Intener Explorer or Mozilla. The problem is: there is no way to obtain the content from that widget, so eSpell can't support it. Nobody else could. What is required is that spell checking the EPF RichTextEditor must be implemented internally. A suitable spell checking engine can be grabbed from extension point org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor.spellingEngine. The engine will accept a document and return a list of problems. The GUI, however, must be implemented by the RTE developers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Telelogic Lifecycle Solutions: Helping You Define, Design & Deliver Advanced Systems & Software Learn More at www.telelogic.com Ben Williams Director of Product Management, ELM Technologies Telelogic UK Ltd Northbrook House, Oxford Science Park OX4 4GA, Oxford United Kingdom Phone: +44 020 7193 7067 Fax: +44 (1865) 784 286 Mobile phone:+44 (7710) 637 067 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.telelogic.com On-Demand Webcast: Introducing DOORS®/TraceLine?
