Can you please provide instructions for setting up the spell add-on? I know to add the license key to the pinedit control and set the dictionary path and copy the dictionaries to the editor/add-on/spell path. But when I click the spellcheck button on the toolbar nothing happens.

Hello,
do you have pinEditSpell.dll in your bin folder ?
The dictionaries can be everywhere on the system. Did you specify the physical name of the dictionary in DictinaryPath ?

the dll is in the bin folder. And I specified the full path and name of the dict file and the user.txt file. Still nothing when I click the spell button on the toolbar.

Hello,
the spell button is a check button.
If you turn on spelling then it will take some seconds until the spell checker runs.
If you don't set the spell license key then an evaluation message should be rasied.

Is there a setting to turn on spelling?

I didn't know where to put that, so I put it in the editor_Ready sub. It didn't make anything different happen, though. I don't get any underlines on misspelled words and I don't get any popup whatsoever when I click the spell button.

Hello,
we first have to find out if it works in standard mode.
Does it work when you press the button in toolbar directly ?

When I press the toobar button, nothing happens at all. If I hover over the button I get a tooltip that says "Spell checker". That's all I can get out of the spell button.

Hello,
could you please send the "editor" folder and the 2 DLLs and the license keys to support@pintexx.com.
Or create a simple project and just set the license keys and send the entire project with all folders and DLLs so that we able to reproduce.
Regards,

I noticed today that when I am using the control, if I don't click the spell button I am actually seeing underlined mis-spelled words and I can right click and bring up the menu. I don't know why this is spontaneously started. Anyway, what is supposed to happen when I click the spell button in the toolbar then? Does it turn spell on and off? Does it pop up a window? What is it supposed to do?
Also, I am getting a terrible flicker every time it does a spell check. The cursor ends up randomly all over the document - and not where I was last typing. It is almost impossible to create a document if you pause at all while typing and it does it's jump.

Hello,
can we do one step after the other ?
Please run the editor "normally" by only setting the spell dictionary path.
Turn the spell button on and wait.
After a time (which you can setup with SpellDelay property) the spell checker runs and should highlight the mispelled words.
After spell checking the cursor position should be at the same location as before.
If not please send an email to support@pintexx.com so that we can provide the latest dll.
If this works then let us go to step 2 to turn on spell checker after startup.
Regards,
Hans-Peter

Here are the results of my test. I am running the editor "normally". I have set the spell dictionary path and then I run the application. Then I type some into the editor. Then I click the spell check button once. I wait and nothing happens.
I then added your code to turn the spell checker on after startup. I begin typing. I then stop typing. After a delay, the misspelled words are underlined and my cursor jumps to the end of the text. I reposition my cursor and begin typing again. I stop and wait and after the delay the words are underlined and my cursor jumps to the end of the text. If I click the spellcheck button, it seems to turn the spell checker off. If I click the spell checker button again, nothing happens.
The dlls I am using are pineditnet.dll dated 6/12/2008 and pineditspell.dll dated 6/13/2007. They were downloaded from your site last week.
I will send the editor folder and dlls to support.
Please confirm for me whether the spell button is supposed to toggle spell on and off. It is not clear to me since there is no indication with the button appearance itself.
