# Quick Start

## Content



This section will lead you through the creation of a simple Visual Studio project that uses the **SpellChecker** component with a RichTextBox control. Note that you could also check the spelling of the text in any TextBox control.

Complete the following steps to create a basic spell-checking form:

1.  Add the **SpellChecker** component to the Toolbox.
2.  From the Toolbox, double-click the **C1SpellChecker** component to add it to the form. Note that the component will appear below the form, not on it.
3.  From the Toolbox, double-click the RichTextBox control to add it to the form.
4.  Select the RichTextBox, and set the following properties:
    *   **Dock** property to **Fill**.
    *   **SpellChecking** on C1SpellChecker property to **True**.


> type=note
> **Note**: The **SpellChecking** property is an extender property provided by the **SpellChecker**.

Now the sample application is ready; it’s that easy! Run the application, type any text in the box, and observe Microsoft Word-style spell-checking functionality (right-click misspelled words to see a list of suggestions):

Notice that spelling errors are indicated by a red, wavy underline. Right-clicking the spelling error provides valid spelling alternatives (just like in Microsoft Word).
