Spell Checker in Windows Store App

Introduction

In this article I provide a sample Spell Checker app. So let us first all understand what a spell checker is and it's use.

A spell checker is used to check the spelling of your document. For example we all have worked on a Word document. While writing the document, you have noticed that if you write a misspelled word then a red line automatically appears at the misspelled word. Then you need to right-click on the misspelled word to get all the possible corrections in a context menu, then choose one of them as the correction of your misspelled word.

I want to implement the same thing in a Windows Store app. When I will write a misspelled word in a TextBox then a red line should appear automatically and when I right-click on a misspelled word all possible corrections should be shown in the context menu.

Use the following procedure to create it.

Step 1

First of all you must create a new Windows Store Application.
Open Visual Studio 2012
"File" -> "New" -> "Project..."
Choose "Template" -> "Visual C#" -> "Window Store app"
Choose "Blank App (XAML)" then rename the application

Step 2

Write the following XAML code in "Mainpage.Xaml" (that is available in Solution Explorer):

<Page

x:Class="spell_cheeking_app.MainPage"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:local="using:spell_cheeking_app"

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

mc:Ignorable="d">

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

</Grid>

</Page>

Step 3

Now run your application and see the output.
