Hey, folks!

I have (finally) been able to integrate the "Big Example" example included with the Spellchecker object into my project. (Whew!)

There are a couple questions I have, though, which I hope someone might be able to assist me with:

1.) In the spellchecking dialog box (after one clicks on the "Spellcheck Now" button), there is the button "Re-Suggest." What does this button do (or signify)? If you select it, will it attempt to get you a different group of words which might match your misspelled word (though it doesn't seem to function that way when I use it)? I am tempted in removing it, though I wouldn't want to if I am misunderstanding how it works.

2.) One thing I would like to do as spellchecking takes place (in the spellchecking dialog box) is that the misspelled word be highlighted or colored in the Rich Text Edit box; this way, it would provide context of where in the text the misspelled word is. So, as I look in the Event Editor of the "Text" frame (where the text box is), I see the group "Dialog bit". And it seems in that group there is an event "When Spellchecker Object 2 finds an incorrect word..." It would seem in this event I would want the Rich Text Edit box to get the misspelled word and color it.

I don't seem to be writing this expression well (assuming I am writing it in the correct place to begin with).

In that event, in the Rich Text Edit box column, I right-click and select "Block>Select text"; then in the Expression dialog box, I select "Retrieve data from an object," I right-click on the Rich Text Edit box, select "Text>Get text," then for the beginning and ending characters to get, I attempt to use the Spellcheck Object 2's "Auto-Parse>Get Incorrect Words start Index," and "Get Incorrect Words Length" (respectively).

Needless to say, that isn't working... But I suspect by my long-winded description of my creative attempt at expression-writing, it gave many of you a good belly laugh. ;-)

So, to make a short story long, how would I select, then color the text which the Spellcheck 2 Object has designated an incorrectly spelled word?


Most graciously...
