Discussion

The A5_SPELLCHECK() function checks the spelling of fields that have text content, including Memo and RTF fields, that do not have spell checking disabled on the Setup tab of their Properties dialog box. If the form is not visible, it will be displayed. The function displays the Spell Check dialog box.

Example

dim ptr as P
ptr = form.view("Customer Information")
a5_spellcheck(ptr, "all")
a5_spellcheck(ptr, "field_list:field1,field2,field3,fieldn")

Limitations

Desktop applications only.
