Spell Check: Enabling Spell Check Highlighting

Overview

OpenFin leverages the Chrome spell-check provider to offer Spell-Check Highlighting.  Spell-Check Highlighting is enabled using the Application Configuration, or in a windows options object passed into a Window constructor, by adding the `”spellCheck”: true` parameter.

Enabling Spell Check Highlighting for an Application

To enable Spell Check Highlighting for an application `”spellCheck”: true` needs to be added to the startup_app object in the Application Configuration file, for example:

"startup_app": {
        "name": "MyApp",
        "uuid": "33aa9062-9eb0-4875-b819-c90f38ef03ea",
        "url": "http://localhost:8000/index.html",
        "spellCheck" : true,
        ...
 }

Once added to the application configuration, the spellcheck needs to be enabled for each element as normal.

Enabling Spell Check Highlighting for a Window

To enable Spell Check Highlighting for an application `”spellCheck”: true` needs to be added to the Window Options object passed to the window constructor, for example:

async function createWindow() { 
    const winOption = { 
        name:'child', 
        defaultWidth: 300, 
        defaultHeight: 300, 
        url: 'https://cdn.openfin.co/docs/javascript/stable/tutorial-Window.create.html', 
        frame: true, autoShow: true,
        spellCheck: true
    }; 
    return await fin.Window.create(winOption); 
}; 

createWindow()
    .then(() => console.log('Window is created'))
    .catch(err => console.log(err));
