Well this may change the situation: http://www.runrev.com/newsletter/february/issue129/newsletter1.php?a=NWS129 Seems under the Future Field modifications they are allowing the inline underlining of words. Very nice.___ use-livecode mailing list use

Re: Spell check for text fields

Hi Scott, Yes, I agree, stuff like that is probably a nightmare to maintain. I'm not saying that RunRev should implement native spell checking where available, just that it would be a nice native feature for some apps and that there's a history of them implementing stuff that isn't cross platform

Re: Spell check for text fields

This is a long shot, but I wonder if you can communicate with Apple's system wide spell checker via Applescript? I have no idea what yo could use for Windows or Linux. You would have to create a rawKeyUp handler in a field, card or stack script (or even a frontScript) which would check to see i

Re: Spell check for text fields

Well, I have to agree that nobody has unlimited funds and time. However, cross platform adherance is somewhat selective on Runrev's part. For example, LC supports access to the Windows registry and there is no such thing on OS X or Linux so calls to the LC functions for it return "not supported".

Re: Spell check for text fields

Thanks for the clarification, Scott. Yes, sad that sometimes, when cross-platform equals lowest common denominator, it often precludes the more fancy OS-specific niceties. The (current?) field object limitation would definitely seem to be a issue for any active spell-checker, irrespective of th

Re: Spell check for text fields

It seems to work ok on the web. For text entry I think it's sort of expected that it underlines the wrong words as they are typed. On Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 12:58 PM, Richmond wrote: > Spilling Chuckers . . . Hmm > > This is rather interesting: > http://norvig.com/spell-**correct.html

Keith, >don't all target platforms have native spell-checkers? One software segment that I produce for is cross-platform desktop -- needs to run on PCs (with Windows XP and newer) and on Macs. There is no native OS level spellchecker for Windows XP. Instead of having platform specific code to ha

Spilling Chuckers . . . Hmm This is rather interesting: http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html as is this : http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/ I wonder how feasible (and how fast) an in-built spell-checker would be . . . certainly SCOWL 7.1 looks rather attractive. __
