Keith, >don't all target platforms have native spell-checkers?
One software segment that I produce for is cross-platform desktop -- needs to run on PCs (with Windows XP and newer) and on Macs. There is no native OS level spellchecker for Windows XP. Instead of having platform specific code to handle the differences, I prefer to leverage the natural cross-platform support of LiveCode. It makes development *much* more productive -- reducing the time and effort required by a significant amount. Not to mention the on-going benefit of simplified product support. So RunRevPlanet Spell is the result that requirement. it is not a spell check as you type style of spell checker, so it may not be what you are looking for. But it is fast. About a "spellcheck as you type" sort of add-on, until the LiveCode Text Field can show the wavy underline that users expect to see when such an action occurs, I think the problems of making such a spell checker that runs on both Windows /and/ OS X make such an add-on unlikely. -- Scott McDonald "Components, Controls, Tools and Resources for LiveCode" www.runrevplanet.com ----- -- Scott McDonald "Components, Controls, Tools and Resources for LiveCode" www.runrevplanet.com -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Spell-check-for-text-fields-tp4379716p4379985.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
