Hi all

 

I was trying out an Eclipse Spell Checker plugin from bdaum.de.

Works great in some kind of controls in Eclipse, but unfortunately not
the rich text controls in EPF Composer.

 

I was liaising with the plugin developer and he sent me the following
information.

Are there any plans to enhance EPF Composer in this area?

Hi Ben,

as an external spell checker, eSpell simply picks up SWT controls that
get the focus, reads their contents and highlights errors. 

Editors that do not use SWT text editing controls such as Text,
StyledText, Combo and CCombo cannot be supported. 

This is, unfortunately, the case with the RichTextEditor used in the EPF
composer. 

I had a look in the source and found that this editor was implemented
using the Browser widget - which simply hosts Intener Explorer or
Mozilla. 

The problem is: there is no way to obtain the content from that widget,
so eSpell can't support it. Nobody else could.

What is required is that spell checking the EPF RichTextEditor must be
implemented internally. 

A suitable spell checking engine can be grabbed from extension point

org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor.spellingEngine.

The engine will accept a document and return a list of problems. 

The GUI, however, must be implemented by the RTE developers.
