Here's the situation. The UltraSpellChecker is working great for me EXCEPT when there is a huge note with a lot of mis-spellings. My client reports that it is slowing their new Win 10 machines down to a crawl, when they enter the note screen, and makes typing almost impossible. It is slow for me on my machine, but not quite as bad as theirs. It's actually the nature of the text data - a lot of codes, FEIN numbers, ID's, names, etc., that show up as mis-spelled even though they are correct. This particular note I am looking at is about 100 lines, with an average of 3 or 4 "bad" words per line.
Now here's the problem. I know how to fix this in future releases - I can make the program spell check on demand only. But my client is a huge corporation, and it takes an act of God to get out new releases (and God is slow, so that means no more than one program update per year).
After that set up, finally to my question:
Is there any way I can disable spell check for them on their current version of the program (i.e., without changing code)? I was hoping there would be an INI file setting, or a file I could add or delete that would prevent any spellcheck activity.
My program is VB.NET, with a RichTextBox, which has a property of SpellCheckerSettings on UltraSpellChecker.Enabled=True.
Thanks!
Hello Ted,
Thank you for your post!
Unfortunately, there does not exist a way to essentially “shut off” the UltraSpellChecker and prevent it from spell-checking outside of doing it through code.
I find it interesting that the UltraSpellChecker is creating such a performance impact in this case, though. Would it be possible for you to please provide a sample that demonstrates this performance issue that you are seeing so I may investigate it further on my end?
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
Also, they have a 32 bit version of the program running on 64 bit Windows. Not sure if that is relevant. Mine is 64 bit and is still a little slow on a very fast machine.
I can obfuscate the data, but would still not like to post publicly. Do you have an email address?
