This would be most appreciated if I can get access to this. Thank you. So I have the dictionary setup. What invokes the auto spell checker? I'm assuming every time the text changes, the auto spell listens to the changes and checks/marks the document? Or just the current word? I have AutoSpellCheckerControl.setActive(doc, true) when the document is opened, but doesn't seem to mark anything. What else do I have to do to setup the auto spellchecker? -----Original Message----- From: Hussein Shafie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: November-13-12 4:25 AM To: Wasiq Shaikh Cc: '[email protected]' Subject: Re: [XXE] SpellCheck Source Code?

The stock XXE v4.9.1 does more or less this: 1) Add en.dar to your CLASSPATH. Look inside this .dar (=.jar file). It contains a text file called "en/default". 2) Declare your dictionary as follows: --- String dictName = "/en/default"; URL dictURL = YOUR_CLASS_HERE.class.getResource(dictName); if (dictURL != null) { SpellCheckerFactory.defineDictionary(dictName, dictURL); } --- This is done in src/com/xmlmind/xmleditapp/kit/part/SpellOptionsPart.java (You should read the source code of SpellOptionsPart.java and of SpellCheckerFactory.java.) 3) Optionally invoke: --- SpellCheckerFactory.setPersonalDictionaryPath(YOUR_DIR_HERE + File.separatorChar + "dict_%L%.txt"). --- This is also done in src/com/xmlmind/xmleditapp/kit/part/SpellOptionsPart.java Now, SpellCheckerFactory.doCreateSpellChecker() should not raise an exception. If all this work, you may consider removing en.dar from your CLASSPATH and instead add all its contents to your custom .jar file. Because we used YOUR_CLASS_HERE.class.getResource(), this should make no difference. --> What else can we do for you: * Give you access to the source code of XXE v4.9.1, in case you forgot to download it. * Give you access to the user manual and API javadoc of XMLmind Spell Checker. If this is not sufficient, then you may consider hiring us.
