Custom Spell Checker

[big_daddy]

As I was trying to make a spell check function for the Word Automation Library, I ended up making this instead.

Requirements:

AutoIt Beta

Word.au3

Updated 3/18/2008

CustomSpellChecker.au3Previous versions had 370+ downloads

To spell check in specific languages you will need to include a "LangID.ini" file in the script directory. Below is an example of that file with a few language constants. The full list of constants can be found here under WdLanguageID. Note: you must have the language already installed on your pc to be able to spell check with it.

[WdLanguageID]
English=1033
French=1036
German=1031
Italian=1040
Spanish=1034

Enjoy,

Bob

[ptrex]

Very nice works just fine.

But there is an error showing.

--> Word.au3 Error from function _WordAttach (The file specified does not exist.)

SUGGESTION

Add the function to change Language to check in.

big_daddy,

I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Do you plan on making any improvements?

I think it would be cool when you click on a misspelled word to then have it highlighted in the sentence where it occurs.

Why not.. The beta Office 2007 is free till February; slack, i'd say, no wimping!

It replaces all the misspelled words.

If you have " mispelled bla bla bla mispelled" and you replace the word 'mispelled', it will replace any "mispelled" to "misspelled"

@ptrex - Fixed! I also add the feature to spell check in a specific language. That turned out to be a beast!

@taurus905 - I wasn't planning on making updates, but sense you asked I added the highlighting.

@rbhkamal - Fixed!

Big Daddy !

It works for me !

The GUI you displayed at the begining dont diplay as shown on my computer ?

[rbhkamal]

There is a problem when spell cheking multiple lines.

It looks like you should use this:

GUICtrlSetData($Edit,  StringReplace( $oRange.Text , @CR , @CRLF))

[big_daddy]

@lukeneo - Does it look close? If so then it is probably just a difference in our windows theme.

@rbhkamal - This is by design. I was forced to do this because of the way MS Word counts characters. It counts a @CR as a character whereas the edit control does not, because of this the highlighting was getting thrown off. Even though it looks funny in the edit control it will copy and paste fine in most apps.

Dude!! Your script doesn't work anymore??

It's broken in every possible way!!

Note:

Someone sent me an Email thinking I wrote this script.

Regards,

***FIXED***

Thanks for letting me know!!!

Line 9 needed to be changed to this...

Global $oWordApp = _WordCreate ("", 0, 0, 0)

[tiaetsch]

Thank you, now it runs. Is it also somehow possible to access the thesaurus of word?

[magician13134]

I'm trying to use this for text with HTML, how can I remove everything in "<>"s?

Like turn:

<b>Hey</b>

into:

hey

[big_daddy]

@magician13134 - That isn't what this script is meant for. However you could retrieve the text using the .innerText Method for IE. If you have any additional questions on this please as them in the support forum.

Thanks,

Bob

New version available! Fixes another small bug.

Enjoy,

Bob
