Algorithm for making spelling suggestions

Hi all,

I welcome opinioms on writing a spell checker & Thesaurus with VB.



Mass

Why to write your own spell checker when you can call one from word.
Here the example how to use it

'works only with RTF text box (don't forget to reference MSWord 8.0)
On Error GoTo SpellCheckErr
Dim oWord As Object

Set oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

'Save the RTF Box contents to a temporary file
rtfText.SaveFile "C:\temp\TEST.RTF", rtfRTF

'Open the saved document and spellcheck it
oWord.Documents.Open ("C:\temp\TEST.RTF")
oWord.ActiveDocument.SpellingChecked = False
oWord.Options.IgnoreUppercase = False
oWord.ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling

'Save the changes to the RTF file & close
oWord.ActiveDocument.Save
oWord.ActiveDocument.Close
oWord.Quit

'Load the changes back to the rtf text box.
rtfText.LoadFile "C:\temp\TEST.RTF", rtfRTF

Set oWord = Nothing
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
MsgBox "Spell Check is complete", _
vbInformation, "Spell Check"
'delete the temp file
Kill "c:\temp\test.rtf"
Exit Sub
