Spellcheck class MSDN

[GregFreeman]

Does anyone know where this class is? I can't find it in .NET. I knwo there are some exisiting spellcheckers out there, kind of, but it still baffles me I can't find it! I thought maybe I was looking in the wrong place, since MSDN says richtextbox and stuff are in system.windows.controls but in LabVIEW i find them in System.Windows.Forms.

I don't think Microsoft ships a spell-checking class as part of the framework.  System.Windows.Forms wraps the native (GDI based) Windows controls [Wikipedia link] whereas System.Windows.Control are the newer (ActiveX based) WPF controls [Wikipedia link].  There are .NET libraries out there for spell checking which you can of course call from LabVIEW.

Having never used it myself I can't recommend it but I did find a lot of references to NHunspell  (it's a .NET wrapper to the open-source Hunspell spell checker used in OpenOffice and Firefox). [Link 1] [Link 2]

Infragistics also offers a spell-checking control but, like most commercial quality .NET controls, it is not free. [Link]

Hope this helps.

What kind of application are you working on that requires a spell checker in LabVIEW?  I've not heard of someone incorporating spell check before.

Thanks for the advice. Just some in-house stuff where spell checking would be nice to have. Nothing to do with the data acquisition side of LabVIEW

After some digging on Google and scrolling through ActiveX methods and properties for MS Word, I finally came up with this method of finding spelling suggestions for a word. There also seem to be grammar options too. I smell an XControl in the future...
