Tom:
I'm pleased that you found it useful!
Sivakatirswami:
One way to make sure all the text is set back to the default color
might be to:
lock screen -- hide the following selection process
select text of tSpellField -- your field name here
set the foregroundColor of the selectedChunk to empty -- return
all text to its native color
Of course this assumes that your field doesn't contain any odd pieces
of text that are *supposed* to be colored differently.

Excellent solution...so simple... I really need to get this going
here.
1) Did you add any other bells and whistles? such as a suggestions
list for corrections? I'm thinking now, for simplicity sake: offer
a list of words that begin with the same letter. I know there are
lots of special algorithms for a more focused offering of close
options, but it's probably over my head to implement in transcript...
2) What are you using as your standard dictionary-word list?
3) Once you colorize the mis-spelled word and they fix it.. what's
your clean up routine to restore to black?
Thanks!

I have apps I created for my job that do spellchecking. Works great.
What you do is load the word list into a custom property of your
stack for
storage
Then use a script like this:
on preopenstack
global gWordList
put the listofwords of me into tList
repeat for each word tWord in tList
put "true" into gWordList[tWord]
end repeat
end preopenstack
This creates a global array with each element named after each
word in your
word list, with "true" as the content of that array.
Then, when you check words, you do something like this:
on closefield
lock screen
global gWordList
put 0 into tCount
repeat for each word tWord in me
add 1 to tCount
if not gWordList[tWord] then set the bgcolor of word tCount of
me to
yellow
end repat
end closefield
This checks, for each word in the field, to see if that word is a
part of
the global array, and if it contains the word "true" ("if not" is a
shorthand way of doing that)
There are lots of nuances, of course, depending on how you want to
handle
punctuation - but that is relatively straight forward text
manipulation.
good luck,
Jonathan
