Adding spell checking to lineedits, textedits, ...

[jiveaxe]

Hi,
exists some qt class which adds spell checking to editable fields like lineedits or textedits; i don't found anything in the documentation. My needs are very poor: a simple mark on the wrong word (not correction feature).

Thanks

You can go with aspell: http://aspell.net/.

by any chance do you have any tutorial of how to integrate Aspell to QT QtextEdit???

[wysota]

Implement a syntax hghlighter that calls ASpell for each word using this API for example: http://aspell.net/man-html/Through-t...ough-the-C-API

I found this project

Online spell check editor

which suit my needs. If needed I can give you some code for help.

First list of attachments...

Put all these files in your project src dir (see attachment in this and my previous post):

spelltextedit.h
spelltextedit.cpp
highlighter.h
highlighter.cpp
Aspell.h
Aspell.cpp
ThreadQueue.h
ThreadQueue.cpp

Now you can reuse the new widget SpellTextEdit like a normal QTextEdit, just "#include spelltextedit.h".

This code is different from that in the last version of "Online spell check editor"; this uses aspell instead of hspell; more: the language is hardcoded in highlighter.h so if needed look there.

This needs something else from aspell?

This needs something else from aspell?

All you need is aspell program, no libs.

Can you please elaborate how to use these files within project. I want to add spell checking functionality to my QtextEdit.

[jiveaxe]

Simply use SpellTextEdit instead of QTextEdit (remember to edit highlighter.h for setting your language). Just a little example:

#include <QApplication>
#include "spelltextedit.h"
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication app(argc, argv);
	SpellTextEdit *spellTextEdit = new SpellTextEdit;
	spellTextEdit->show();
	return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include "spelltextedit.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication app(argc, argv);
	SpellTextEdit *spellTextEdit = new SpellTextEdit;
	spellTextEdit->show();
	return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Attached are 2 files; use these instead of those in my previous posts;

Bye
