Inherited UI - DevExpress TextEdit

Group: StrataFrame Users Posts: 74, Visits: 300	If I drop a DevExpress TextEdit control on a form, I have some properties in the WinForm Designer that show up under the Misc category having to do with Spell Checking (CanCheckText, ShowSpellCheckMenu, SpellCheckerOptions). But, when I drop the TextEdit from StrataFrame's inherited UI library, I don't have these properties and thus the "Check Spelling" is missing from the context menu when running the app. Can someone point me in the right direction to resolve this? Thanks!

The SF DevExpress TextEdit should certainly be inheriting from the same control, but there's a possibility you might need to change the references in the SF inherited DevExpress project and rebuild it. I you have more than one version of DevExpress installed, it's possible that you could be referencing a different version in your project than the SF one is referencing. Are the properties there in code? To make sure that the SF one is inheriting the proper version, you can drop one of each on your form, run it, and then at a breakpoint, check the following in the watch window: 1) this.sfControl.GetType().BaseType.AssemblyQualifiedName 2) this.dxControl.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName These should be the same values, version and all.

I believe you would need to manually register those inheritedTextEdit controls to the SpellChecker.
