Cascades Development

I'm using TextArea components in my app, and they are marking words with incorrect spelling, allowing the user to "correct" them. I would like to disable this if possible through QML.

Can anyone help with this? Sorry if it is very simple, but I was having trouble finding a clear answer in the Cascades documents.

Thanks

I saw that, so I tried adding

input.flags: TextInputFlag.SpellCheckOff

to the TextArea. But it didn't make any difference. I still see the red underlines with certain words and can change them while using the app.

possible bug in the OS maybe? I havent tried it out yet but thats the api you would use

[urbanglowcam]

Yeah, that's what I used. I thought I was doing it right. I hope it gets fixed if it is a bug.

Thanks

As a work around if you set the input mode

inputMode: TextAreaInputMode.Chat

 There will be no spell check (red line) or ability for the user to change the word, however you do run the risk of getting unintended emoticons

[urbanglowcam]

lol cant you disable emoticons then?

[bcs925]

Not on chat mode, that's how you enable them (but it also disables spell check). As long as you don't have things like : and D or : and ) next to each other you should be fine.

Since I'm controlling the text, it shouldn't be a problem. But is the method Kyle and I were discussing a known bug? Have you seen this issue as well? I'm just making sure if it's an actual bug or just an error on my part.

Actually here's the full solution:

                 TextArea {
                    text: "default mode teh feild words :)"
                    inputMode: TextAreaInputMode.Default
                    editable: false
                    input.flags: TextInputFlag.SpellCheck
//spell check still shows, so don't have nothing for inputMode or set to Default, also no emoticons
                }

                TextArea {
                                    text: "text mode teh feild words :)"
                                    inputMode: TextAreaInputMode.Text
                                    input.flags: TextInputFlag.SpellCheckOff
                                    editable: false
//no spell check, no emoticons
                }

                TextArea {
                                    text: "chat mode teh feild words :)"
                                    inputMode: TextAreaInputMode.Chat
                                    input.flags: TextInputFlag.SpellCheck
                                    editable: false
// with or without input.flags, no spell check but will get emoticons
                }
