Ann: Addict 3.5 Spell Check and Thesaurus for Delphi and C++ Builder

glenn@esbconsult.com — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 15:02:35 +0800

Hello All,

This release is primarily geared around adding official support for the 
2007 CodeGear Delphi and C++Builder products.  This version is a free 
upgrade for all current v3 users.  Your access password will remain the 
same as in the previous release.  If you've misplaced your passwords, 
please send mail to mailto:support@addictivesoftware.com.

A full list of enhancements and bug fixes follows.  This release is 
highly recommended for all users as it includes several minor bug fixes 
and minor feature work relating to RichEdit LiveSpelling.

Please note that this release is for the Win32 portions of Delphi, and 
not a .NET release.

What's New in Version 3.5

* Added Delphi 2007 and C++ Builder 2007 support
* Added French, Spanish and Portuguese Thesaurus UI language support
* Added support for Start/StopSequence check to be recursive
* Added a new Working property to properly allow applications to deny 
CloseQuery requests based upon the need for a stack unwind to finish
* LiveSpelling RichEdits are now firing OnWordCheck before 
auto-replacement expansion to allow for programmatic changes.
* OnPopupResult parameters can now be changed to cancel or change any 
end-user selected popup action on LiveSpelling menus

* Fixed LiveSpell bug where the OnWordCheck event wasn't being allowed 
to override whether or not a word was accepted
* Minor bug fix to handle badly behaving RichEdit controls
* Minor bug fix for DevExpress window handling
* Fixed emNoDialog EndMessage logic
* Fixed 'Spelling...' menu but on RichEdits not popping the dialog under 
some line-ending conditions.
* Published IrregularLeftMargin property for LiveSpelling RichEdit controls
* Fixed LiveSpell bug causing the word under the cursor to not be marked 
as misspelled when the control loses focus.
