Has the WebSpellChecker control been removed in 15.1? And if so is there some alternative control to take it's place? I have relied on that control for a number of existing web applications that require accessiblity, as the spellcheck built into the browsers is great for sighted users, but doesn't really help with blind users using screen readers.
Hello Mike,
Yes, the WebSpellChecker control is deprecated as of 15.1 as it's stated in "What's New in 2015 Volume 1" document. The reason is that all the browsers already have a built in spell checker functionality so we decided that there is no need of our WebSpellChecker anymore. To answer your question: No, there is no alternative control to take its place.
If you still want to use it you can reference the 14.2 assembly containing the WebSpellChecker.
Update: I was wrong about using the 14.2 assembly. Unfortunately this is not possible due to its dependence on the 'Infragistics4.WebUI.Shared.v14.2’ assembly.
