ComponentOne IntelliSpell is a flexible tool. You can configure it using the Options command (available on the ComponentOne IntelliSpell menu, toolbars, and Task List). The command shows the ComponentOne IntelliSpell Options dialog box, which looks like this:

The dialog box is divided into two tabs: Common and Files to check.

First tab: Common

The common tab is divided into the following three sections:

Spell Dictionaries:

This section allows you to set which dictionary to use with an additional multi-language spell-checking option. Available options include:

• Main Dictionary
  Selects the default dictionary to use for spell checking your applications. The default dictionary is American English, but there are 20 other options, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Dutch, and Greek.
• User dictionary
  Selects the file used to store custom words that should be ignored by the spell checker. You can add words to the dictionary by clicking the Add button in the ComponentOne IntelliSpell window.
• Enable multi-language checking for localized projects
  If you check this option, ComponentOne IntelliSpell will automatically switch dictionaries when spell checking resource files. To create localized projects, set the Localized property on the forms to true, and then switch the Language property to create resources in as many additional languages as you want.

Spelling Options:

Set spelling options, including:

• Ignore…
  This section allows you to select types of words that should be skipped, such as words in mixed case, all uppercase, with numbers, wildcards, or words that look like URLs or file names. If you select the Ignore wildcards checkbox you can click on the Edit Wildcards… button to enter wildcard expressions for the spell-checker to ignore.
• Maximum suggestions
  This option allows you to select the maximum number of suggestions to display for each misspelled word. Suggestions appear in context-sensitive menus and also in the ComponentOne IntelliSpell tool window.    
• Check spelling as you type
  Check this checkbox to enable as-you-type spell checking. Misspelled words are underlined with a wavy underline as you type them.
• Break words in MixedCase
  This option enables you to split and check words in mixed case such as “SomeWord” or “Some” “Word”.
• Break words with underscores
  This option enables you to split words with underlines. For example, “Some_Word” -> “Some” “Word”.

Spell-check After Build:

This section allows you to automatically invoke the spell checker after building the project. Available options include:

• Never
  Do not automatically spell-check the project after building it.
• After every build
  Automatically spell-check the project after every build.
• After release builds
  Spell-check the project automatically after every build that contains the word "Release" in its name.
