Interface TextControl

CASE_SENSITIVE_OPT

Controls whether to check spelling with regard to differences in letter case (e.g., treating america and America as two separate words) or by ignoring differences in letter case. (e.g., treating america and America as the same word). Keeping this option enabled improves performance (because the spell check dictionaries are optimized for case-sensitive access) and ensures that capitalization errors are detected. You might disable this option when checking text entered in all-caps, for example.

IGNORE_ALL_CAPS_WORD_OPT

Controls whether the spell checker automatically skips (ignores) words containing just capital letters. If the text contains many abbreviations or acronyms, setting this option prevents them from being reported as spelling errors.

IGNORE_CAPPED_WORD_OPT

Controls whether the spell checker automatically skips (ignores) words starting with a capital letter. If the text contains many proper names, setting this option prevents them from being reported as spelling errors.

IGNORE_DOMAIN_NAMES_OPT

Controls whether the spell checker automatically skips (ignores) words which appear to be Internet domain names, URLs, email addresses, etc.

IGNORE_MIXED_CASE_OPT

Controls whether the spell checker automatically skips (ignores) words which contain a mixture of upper- and lower-case letters. If the text contains variable names, technical jargon, etc. (e.g., YearToDate, FmtString), setting this option prevents them from being reported as spelling errors.

IGNORE_MIXED_DIGITS_OPT

Controls whether the spell checker automatically skips (ignores) words which contain embedded digits. When checking general text, enabling this option will prevent strings like product codes from being reported as spelling errors.

REPORT_DOUBLED_WORD_OPT

The spell checker can automatically detect the same word appearing twice in a row (e.g., Minutes of the meeting were filed yesterday.) This option controls whether doubled words are reported as misspelled.

REPORT_MIXED_CASE_OPT

The spell checker can automatically detect words which have an unusual combination of upper- and lower-case letters (e.g., TUesday). This option controls whether mixed-case words are reported as misspelled.

REPORT_MIXED_DIGITS_OPT

The spell checker can automatically detect words which contain embedded digits, which might result from accidentally omitting a space (e.g., Monday14 August). This option controls whether words with embedded digits are reported as misspelled.

REPORT_UNCAPPED_OPT

Enable if check words should be reported whose first character is not capitalized.

SPLIT_CONTRACTED_WORDS_OPT

When this option is enabled, apostrophes will if necessary be treated as word separators, and each sub-word checked individually. This option is intended for use with the French and Italian dictionaries.

SPLIT_HYPHENATED_WORDS_OPT

When this option is enabled, hyphens ("-") will if necessary be treated as word separators, and each sub-word checked individually.

SPLIT_WORDS_OPT

When this option is enabled, words will if necessary be treated as a series of concatenated sub-words, and each sub-word checked individually. This option is intended for use with the German and Finnish dictionaries.

STRIP_POSSESSIVES_OPT

When this option is enabled, possessives of the form 's and s' will be removed from words before checking their spelling.

SUGGEST_SPLIT_WORDS_OPT

When this option is enabled, the Suggest function will attempt to split the misspelled word into two, and will offer the split words as suggestions if both are valid words. This is useful for correcting words incorrectly joined by a missing space -- e.g., if this option is enabled, the Suggest method would suggest the dog as a replacement for thedog.
