Xojo 2019r1 has added SpellChecking support for Windows and Linux. It’s been available for macOS for quite some time.
Anyway - until now I’ve disabled it. But now that it’s available x-platform, I’d like to understand how this is supposed to work in Xojo
So I create a new Desktop Project. Add a TextArea. Build for macOS.
Then I run the built .app. Typing some glibberish in the TextArea draws these red lines, makes suggestions for replacements, … Contextual Menu gives the options to disable SpellChecking and all that. And - yes it works. I can disable SpellChecking like that.
Then I quit the .app. Launch the .app again.
Now… SpellChecking is enabled again - even if I have turned it off before.
So - how is this supposed to work? How can the state/behavior the user decided be persisted, so that one doesn’t always have to disable it for every run of the .app?
I don’t like this - and if I turn it off once in Safari, it’s off. Until I decide to enable it again. And so for every other macOS app. Just… how to do that with Xojo?
Once I get to know that… is this the same for Windows/Linux?
And then there is the fact that we customize contextual menus with app-convenient items. Once we do that using ConstructContextualMenu
- then there are no more “native ones” (such as SpellChecking) available? How to do that should best be answered seperately on this Forum Thread.
Is there documentation about this? Or an example project? Has someone written a Blog explaining how to leverage SpellChecking in Xojo?
