Hi,
I've reorganized the spellchecker dialog, so that it does not need to popup the additional message window at the end with the word count. I've added a function (or is that called a "method" ?) getCount() to the Spellchecker. Instead of using the "partialUpdate()" function, I update the wordcount immediately in the spellchecker dialog in "ButtonPolicy::SMInput FormSpellchecker::input()": // update slider with word count and progress double const wordcount = controller().getCount(); if (wordcount > 0.0) { double const progress = controller().getProgress() / 100.0; double const total = wordcount / progress; fl_set_slider_bounds(dialog_->slider_progress, 0.0, total); fl_set_slider_value(dialog_->slider_progress, wordcount); } The dialog looks as attached. The slider has the wordcount in its numberfield and the percentage progress in the sliderbar. It works very well here! At the end of the spellchecking, the dialog remains visible and shows the total number of checked words in the sliderbar. I wonder if this is the way to go, also for the Qt dialog. If so, the spellingchecker's controller can be considerably simplified. Rob.
