Spell-Checking
This property allows you to enable a real time spell checking on the field.
Setting this property to "default" activates the spell checking using the current language defined in the environment.
Setting this property to a specific Language Tag activates the spell checking using a specific language of a specific coutry. The supported Language Tags are: ast-ES, be-BY, br-FR, ca, ca-ES, ca-ES-valencia, da-DK, de, de-AT, de-CH, de-DE, de-DE-x-simple-language, el-GR, en, en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-NZ, en-US, en-ZA, eo, es, fa, fr, gl-ES, is-IS, it, ja-JP, km-KH, lt-LT, ml-IN, nl, pl-PL, pt, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro-RO, ru-RU, sk-SK, sl-SI, sv, ta-IN, tl-PH, uk-UA, xx-XX, zh-CN. For more information about these values, refer to the table available in the Java documentation:
https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk8-jre8-suported-locales.html.
The mistyped words are underlined and leaving the mouse pointer over them spawns a tool-tip that suggests the proper correction. The tool-tip delay is controlled by the configuration property
iscobol.gui.entryfield.spell_checking_delay whose default is a half second.
Setting this property to spaces disables the feature.
At run time, the spell checking feature requires additional items that need to be installed separately.
1. Download one of the the following files depending on the Java version associated to your isCOBOL SDK:
Java 8 or previous | Java 9 or greater |
|---|
| |
2. Unzip the file in a folder of your choice. The following structure will be created:
CHANGES.md CHANGES.txt COPYING.txt languagetool-commandline.jar languagetool-server.jar languagetool.jar libs META-INF org README.md testrules.bat testrules.sh third-party-licenses |
3. Don’t alter the folder structure and add the full path of languagetool.jar to the Classpath. For example, if the above structure was copied to the folder C:\LanguageTool on Windows, use the following command:
set CLASSPATH=C:\LanguageTool\languagetool.jar;%CLASSPATH% |
If you wish to alter the folder structure, then you should add all these items to the Classpath separately:
o all the jars that were in the root folder
o all the jars that were in the "lib" subfolder
o the folder containing the "org" subfolder
In a thin client installation the Language Tool items must be installed client side and must be available in the client side Classpath.
Example - Define an entry-field control with spell checking using the default locale:
screen section. ... 03 screen-1-ef-3 Entry-Field line 35.8 column 49.7 size 11.6 cells lines 3.5 cells id 20 3-d spell-checking "default" . |
