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/.

[smarinr]

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-the-C-API.html#Through-the-C-API

I found this project

Online spell check editor (http://www.qt-apps.org/content/show.php?content=77339)

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

Thx, if you can do that I REALLY APPRECIATE!!!

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();
}

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

Bye

QtWebKit doesn't mark (underline with red wavy line) misspelled words
while in designMode even if spell checking is implemented and works
correctly. Could you please point me what I am doing wrong?

Recently I have been interested in embedding QtWebKit in my project as
webbrowser plugin. I looked around the web and found arora excellent
example for implementing code that covers my needs. But I'm also need
to enable spell checking in QtWebkit. To do so I've taken another look
at Google Chrome source code that might use hunspell to enable
spellchecking in browser and found some clues. I have rewritten
Chromium's code and replaced following functions in

qt-4.6.0-tp1\src\3rdparty\webkit\WebKit\qt\WebCoreSupport\E ditorClientQt.cpp


void EditorClientQt::checkSpellingOfString(const UChar* str, int length,
int* misspellingLocation,
int* misspellingLength)
{
// Original
// notImplemented();
return MySpellChecker::getInstance()->checkSpellingOfString(str,
length, misspellingLocation, misspellingLength);
}

bool EditorClientQt::isContinuousSpellCheckingEnabled()
{
// Original
// return false;
return true;
}

String EditorClientQt::getAutoCorrectSuggestionForMisspel ledWord(const
String &word)
{
//Original
//notImplemented();
//return String();
return MySpellChecker::getInstance()->getAutoCorrectSuggestionForMisspelledWord(word);
}

MySpellChecker is spellchecker that using hunspell. I've built
QtWebKit and placed breakpoints inside bodies of functions mentioned
above. As far as I can see functions are being invoked correctly, i.e.
if I, for example, write "cra is moving", it is being corrected by
getAutoCorrectSuggestionForMisspelledWord as "car is moving", but if i
write "car is asdf" then the word "asdf" is just not being marked as
misspelled word. Could you please point me what I am doing wrong?
