spelling check
Addict's spelling component provides the developer a full featured spelling check component that can easily integrate modern spell checking capabilities into your application with only a single line of code. Addict's core engine and dialogs were built to replicate and in many ways exceed the look and feel of spelling engines residing in commercial word processors.

Adding AddictSpell to an application (with the same functionality as the example above) is typically done with just a single line of code:

AddictSpell.CheckWinControl( RichEdit1, ctAll );

This same line of code is used to perform a spelling check on most Edit, Memo and RichEdit components. In addition, Addict supports nearly all of the more popular third party controls such as TRichView, PlusMemo, DevExpress Editors, WPTools and more.

This same level of simplicity carries through to the configuration system. If your users want to ignore HTML, correct DUal capitals automatically or even correct common misspellings as they type, it's all easily accessible and already provided through Addict's configuration dialogs.

live-spelling
Live-spelling is the term we use to refer to the identification of misspelled words with wavy red underlines in edit controls. This allows a user to act upon each identified problem with a context menu. From the context menu a user can do nearly any action that they could do from the traditional spelling-check dialog; add auto-corrections, add the word to the dictionary, choose the properly spelled word as a replacement and more.

thesaurus
Addict comes with an updated version of Roget's Thesaurus, containing over 1000 context topics. Additional thesaurus files can be compiled with the Thesaurus compiler (available in the PlusPack).

The thesaurus component uses the same parsing architecture as does the spelling checker. Thus the thesaurus can work on simple word lookups, or do automatic selection and word replacement for strings, edit controls, memo controls, rich edit controls and many third party controls.

AddictThesaurus.LookupWinControl( RichEdit );

And like the spelling checker, adding a thesaurus lookup to an existing edit control only takes the single line of code you see above.

Only for V.I.P
