Finding compound word variable name spelling mistakes

I have just discovered a variable name that is misspelled. If it were hidden away in the depths of code, that would be fine, but this variable name ends up in a configuration that is stored with visibility to the customer.

Easiest way to implement spellchecker for IE

I'm using ASP.NET webforms and lots of javascript/jQuery. I'm looking for a really simple and easy way to implement spell checking for a single text area in IE (since all the other browsers implement their own spell checking). I usually stay away from IE specific technologies but I'm willing to make an exception since I only need the f...

WPF TextBox Custom Dictionary Support

Has anyone found a workaround yet for getting custom dictionary support working for the built in spellchecking on WPF TextBoxes/RichTextBoxes? We've been probing the spelling stuff with reflector hoping to find where the dictionary entries are coming from, but it's looking very much like it's going to be a COM object.... I know it's not...

Open source spell check

Was evaluating adding spell check to a product I own. As per my research the major decisions that need to be made: The library to use. Dictionary( this can be region specific, British english, American etc). Exclusion lists. Anytime a typo is detected its possible that its not a typo but is verbiage specific to the user. At this poi...

How to implement a SIMPLE "You typed ACB, did you mean ABC?"

I know this is not a straight up question, so if you need me to provide more information about the scope of it, let me know. There are a bunch of questions that address almost the same issue (they are linked here), but never the exact same one with the same kind of scope and objective - at least as far as I know. Context: I have a M...

WPF: Use SpellCheck On Read-Only TextBox

I'm looking to display text with the wavey red lines where a word is misspelt, but I only want the text to be selectable, not editable. If I set the TextBox's IsReadOnly property to True or IsEnabled to False, the wavey red lines disappear and I can't get around it by putting something transparent as this will prevent the user being able...

Spell Check window using MSWord interop opening in back of my application in Vista

I'm using MSWord interop to check grammar/spell in my application. I'm using these steps to do this: 1) Create a new Single Thread Apartment to not lock my application's form 2) Disable the input of my application 3) Using reflection (to be MSOffice version independent), I'm using this code to open Word: objWord = System.Activator.Cre...

Browser feature detection: spell checking?

All the decent browsers (Chrome, FX, etc) now support built-in spell checking. However the popular but rubbish axis of IE doesn't (not even IE8 - pointless 'accelerators': yes, much needed dictionary support: no). Unless you download an excellent free plugin, but you can't expect corp users to do that. Our clients want spell checking i...

How to change word recognition in vim spell?

I like that vim 7.0 supports spell checking via :set spell, and I like that it by default only checks comments and text strings in my C code. But I wanted to find a way to change the behavior so that vim will know that when I write words containing underscores, I don't want that word spell checked. The problem is that I often will refer...

Spell checker for comments, strings, maybe more

I am looking for a spell checker for c++ source code. Unfortunately all I can find is Visual Studio specific. I would like something which works on Linux.
