The Videosoft® VSSPELL speller and VBX/OCX thesaurus application should be installed. The shareware version of VSSPELL available from Videosoft may be used.

Installation

Ensure that the above SLLs are installed in the VS/VSE library directory or a directory that appears in the Windows PATH statement and evaluate:

SmalltalkLibraryBinder bindTo:'VSpell'.

The VSpell.sll library will automatically bind its required libraries if they have not already been bound to the image.

Install the VsSpell OCX from the Setup.exe file included in the archive. Once installed read the section entitled "Installing vsSpell and vsThesaurus" from the VsSpell Windows Help file (VSSPELL.HLP) for additional details. Including the VSSPELL installation directory in the DOS PATH statement is important for MS Windows 3.1x use.

Examples

Evaluate

VsSpellTest open.

This opens a window with a text pane and speller menu options. Paste some text you want to spell check into the text pane near the top of the VsSpellTest window and select text->spell check from the menu bar. A dialog will prompt you to verify and edit any words not found in the dictionary. One can spell check a single word by choosing text-spell from the menu.

Note that if you select File-Open from the menu of the VsSpellTest window that it expects to read a VsSpell dictionary file (.dct) not a document.

Additional info

Look to the class comments of VsBadWord, VsChanged, VsComplete, VsDialogAction, VsSuggestion, VsOptionBtnClick, and VsHelpBtnClick for description of events with these classes.
