Description

TPMLiveSpell3 is a highligher component to dynamically spell check the text content of a TPlusMemo, using Addict3 product.  It shows misspelled words with a wavy underline whose color you control with TPlusMemo.SpecUnderline property.  It comes with red as default.  Text is spell checked as it is entered.  When composing a word with the keyboard, the current word will be checked only when it is finished (entering a delimiter) or moving the caret out of it.

Upon right-clicking on a misspelled word, a popup menu will appear, showing suggestions as replacement for the bad word.  You can also have live correct functionality by turning on soLiveCorrect in Addict options property.

To use this component, place a TPMLiveSpell3 and a TAddictSpell3 on your form (TAddictSpell3 is the spell check component from Addict3), set TPMLiveSpell3.Speller property equal to this TAddictSpell3 component, and your TPlusMemo.Highlighter to the TPMLiveSpell3 component.  Voilà, bad words are underlined with a wavy line.

You can still have syntax highlighting with highlighter components by setting TPMLiveSpell3.SubHighlighter equal to those components.

The TPMLiveSpell3 component does not help to do a normal dialog spell operation.  For that, you have to use a TPlusMemoControlParser object, that you will find in file ad3PlusMemoParser.pas.

This component is not included in ready made packages from Electro-Concept Mauricie.  To have it available on your component palette, add file PMLiveSpell3.pas to a package of your choice.  We recommend against using the PlusMemo package, otherwise you will have to add this component every time you update your package.

Note that this component does not apply highlighting at design time.
