    Can't Spell Check a Field in a Popup Window

    In my application, I provide for note icons to be clicked to open an ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Popup Control with a standard TextBox control for note entry. I have attached the Spell Check button, (and the code, of course), to allow the entry to have spell checking done prior to saving the note.

    When the button is pressed to spell check, the Spell Checking Complete message immediately pops up and noting has been checked. Can you help me get this to work? These note entries are all over the place in the app and being able to correct spelling is essential.

    I can supply code if you tell me how.

    Thanks,

    Ric

     Thanks for all of the replies. I can't recreate the problem if I remove all of the functionality of the application and create a simple form with spell checking, so I guess I have to write smaller apps.

    Ric, I'm interested to see if you are still having the issue?

     I'm still waiting for DevExpress to explain why it doesn't work.

    Hi!

    We've created a simple project demonstrating how to use the ASPxSpellChecker to check the ASPxMemo.
    Could you please change this project so that we can reproduce this bug by using it.

     I prefer spell checking against a simple textbox. Otherwise, I have less control over what the user types, how it's formatted, etc. Shouldn't the spell check work against a textbox?

     I did send a copy of a simple non-working project for your review and debugging. If you did not receive it, I can send it again.

    Ric, simply remove the ASPxMemo, and substitute it for this below

     <dxe:ASPxTextBox ID="textBox" ClientInstanceName="textBox" runat="server"></dxe:ASPxTextBox>

    Now replace the ClientSideEvents of the Button with this

    <ClientSideEvents Click="function(s, e) { spellChecker.CheckElement(textBox); }" />

    Hi!

    We have not received your project. It would be better if you upload the project to our Support Center.
