About EDSSpell

The EDSSpell Component allows Delphi developers to easily include a Spell Checking Dialog into their Delphi applications.  EDSSpell is a native Delphi component which means there are no additional DLLs or VBXs which need to be distributed with your application (except for the dictionary file(s)).  Applications distributed using EDSSpell may be deployed royalty free.

Delphi developers can add spell checking to any application with one line of code:

SpellDlg1.SpellCheck (Memo1);

It's that simple.  And EDSSpell is extremely fast (over 55,000 words per minute).  Give your customers that extra feature by adding EDSSpell to your applications.

As of version 3.0, EDSSpell supports:

TEdit, TMemo and TRichEdit (Delphi 2.0) and any descendants thereof

TurboPower's Orpheus™ components

TX Text-Control™ which ships with Borland's Visual Solutions Pack and is distributed by the European Software Connection

The shareware RTF component WPTools by Julian Ziersch

Woll2Woll Software's InfoPower

Universal Development Corp's MemoWriter Pro

TechoSoft's LEdit

Sub Systems's TE Developer's Kit

You can always download the latest trial-version of EDSSpell from our web site at www.OneDomain.com or in CompuServe's Delphi forum.

XSpell Options

About EDSSpell


XSpell Options

XSpell allows the setting of a number of options.  Once you have invoked XSpell (see Using XSpell), click on the Options button.  The following properties can be set from the XSpell Options dialog:

EDSSpell Properties

AutoSuggest:	Turn on if you would like the spell checker to automatically make suggestions to missspelled words.

ShowGlyphs:	Turn on if you would like the bitmaps on the spell dialog's buttons.

Suggestions:	Sets the number of suggestions for the spell checker to make.

XSpell Properties

Automatically Overwrite DFM files:	When form files are spell checked, they are first converted to text files (*.TXT).  Once spell checking is complete, the files are then reconverted to Delphi's native form format.  If you would like XSpell to automatically overwrite the original DFM file, turn this on.

Backup Files Before Spell Checking:	Turn this on if you would like XSpell to back up your source files prior checking it.  When turned on, XSpell uses the same extension nomenclature to back up (i.e. *.PAS are backed up to *.~PA).

Syntax Highlight In Editor:	Turn this on if you would like syntax XSpell to emulate Delphi's syntax highlighting.  Turning this off may speed up spell checking of some larger files.
