Example 2
Let’s assume you have these 2 fields:
TheText text field, contains for example "een mooie voorsteling."
LanguageID text field, contains for example "nl-NL" for DutchIn a script you can now get the first word which is spelled incorrectly:
Set Variable [ $Spelling_FirstError ; TrText_CheckSpelling ( "-Unused" ; TheText ; LanguageID ) ]
If [ $Spelling_FirstError <> "" ]
Set Variable [ $Spelling_FirstErrorWord ;
Let ( [ spellingStart = LeftWords ( $Spelling_FirstError ; 1 ) ;
