I want to have spell checking (the red underlines) enabled for textboxes in my XamDataGrid. I'm building the styles manually in C#, like this:
ret.Setters.Add(new Setter(TextBox.AcceptsReturnProperty, true));
newstyle.Resources.Add(typeof(TextBox), ret);
Then applying that style to the Field.Settings.EditorStyle
But SpellCheck is an attached property, so how can I do it?
Thanks
Ok I can almost get this working using an event handler:
newstyle.Setters.Add(new EventSetter(XamTextEditor.EditModeStartedEvent, new EventHandler<EditModeStartedEventArgs>(SpellCheckEditStart)));
And then..
{
}
This appears to work BUT comes up with erronious spelling mistakes! Almost as if it isn't word-breaking correctly (ie 'work' is a spelling error. Right click and select 'work' as a correction, and it shows 'workk', 2 k's).
Any ideas? Vol 2 hoxfix 1007
Try this:
Create a cutom Field which his editor is XamMasketTexbox.
then assume that f is an object of typeField and configure it:
f.DataType = typeof(string); f.Settings.EditAsType = typeof(string); f.Settings.EditorType = typeof(XamMaskedEditor);
Style s = new Style(typeof(XamMaskedEditor)); //Setter setterMask = new Setter(XamMaskedEditor.MaskProperty, mask); Setter setterMask = new Setter(XamMaskedEditor.MaskProperty, "{char:10:0-9a-zA-Z)"); s.Setters.Add(setterMask); f.Settings.EditorStyle = s;
If you need a list of rules to generarte masks follow this link:

A MaskEditor will spell check by default? I don't see any options in your code to turn spell checking on..
I've also tried styling the TextBox (instead of the XamTextEditor) as shown below. But this still word-breaks strangely! Attached in a screenshot, notice that 'wor' of the word 'work' is shown as a spelling error!
Any ideas?
BTW I'm having to construct my styles in code rather than XAML because I'm dynamically building all this from db tables.
textboxstyle.Setters.Add(new EventSetter(TextBox.LoadedEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(SpellCheckLoaded)));
editorstyle.Resources.Add(typeof(TextBox), textboxstyle);
...
private static void SpellCheckLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { ((TextBox)sender).SpellCheck.IsEnabled = true; }
I created a style enabling spell-checking for all TextBoxes within the scope of my grid and got spell checking to work in the text editors.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}"> <Setter Property="SpellCheck.IsEnabled" Value="True"/></Style>
Also, John, if you are using XAML anywhere near the scope of your grid, you can define your styles there (perhaps in the container for the grid).
Turning this on for XAMTextEditor and I can get it to display the red line to show word misspelled but when I right click on the word I don't see the context menu that would come up in a WPF Text box to show suggestions. How do I get this to come up on XAMTextEditor? See image below.
Hello Kimberly,
