Detailed Description

KDE Spellchecker

A KDE programmer's interface to International ISpell 3.1. (GPL 1997) A static method, modalCheck() is provided for convenient access to the spellchecker.

See also: KSpellConfig

enum spellStatus { Starting = 0, Running, Cleaning, Finished, Error, Crashed }

spellStatus

Possible states of the spell checker.

The following error states exist:

 KSpell (QWidget *parent, const QString &caption, QObject *receiver, const char *slot, KSpellConfig *kcs=0, bool progressbar = TRUE, bool modal = FALSE )

KSpell

Starts the spellchecker.

KSpell emits ready() when it has verified that ISpell/ASpell is working properly. Pass the name of a slot -- do not pass zero! Be sure to call cleanUp() when you are done with KSpell.

If KSpell could not be started correctly, death() is emitted.

Parameters:
parentParent of KSpellConfig dialog..
captionCaption of KSpellConfig dialog.
receiverReceiver object for the ready(KSpell *) signal.
slotReceiver's slot, will be connected to the ready(KSpell *) signal.
kcsConfiguration for KSpell.
progressbarIndicates if progress bar should be shown.
modalIndicates modal or non-modal dialog.

spellStatus  status ()

status

[const]

Returns the status of KSpell.

See also: spellStatus()

void  cleanUp ()

cleanUp

[virtual]

Cleans up ISpell.

Write out the personal dictionary and close ISpell's stdin. A death() signal will be emitted when the cleanup is complete, but this method will return immediately.

void  setAutoDelete (bool _autoDelete)

setAutoDelete

Sets the auto-delete flag. If this is set, the KSpell object is automatically deleted after emitting death().

bool  check (const QString &_buffer, bool usedialog = TRUE)

check

[virtual]

Spellchecks a buffer of many words in plain text format.

The _buffer is not modified. The signal done() will be sent when check() is finished and the argument will be a spell-corrected version of _buffer.

The spell check may be stopped by the user before the entire buffer has been checked. You can check lastPosition() to see how far in _buffer check() reached before stopping.

int  lastPosition ()

lastPosition

[const]

Returns the position (when using check()) or word number (when using checkList()) of the last word checked.

bool  checkList (QStringList *_wordlist, bool usedialog = TRUE)

checkList

[virtual]

Spellchecks a list of words.

checkList() is more flexible than check(). You could parse any type of document (HTML, TeX, etc.) into a list of spell-checkable words and send the list to checkList(). Sending a marked-up document to check() would result in the mark-up tags being spell checked.

bool  checkWord (const QString &_buffer, bool usedialog = FALSE)

checkWord

[virtual]

Spellchecks a single word.

checkWord() is the most flexible function. Some applications might need this flexibility but will sacrifice speed when checking large numbers of words. Consider checkList() for checking many words.

Use this method for implementing "online" spellchecking (i.e., spellcheck as-you-type).

checkWord() returns false if buffer is not a single word (e.g. if it contains white space), otherwise it returns true;

If usedialog is set to true, KSpell will open the standard dialog if the word is not found. The dialog results can be queried by using dlgResult() and replacement().

The signal corrected() is emitted when the check is complete. You can look at suggestions() to see what the suggested replacements were.

void  hide ()

hide

Hides the dialog box.

You'll need to do this when you are done with checkWord();

QStringList  suggestions ()

suggestions

[const]

Returns list of suggested word replacements.

After calling checkWord() (an in response to a misspelled() signal you can use this to get the list of suggestions (if any were available).

int  dlgResult ()

dlgResult

[const]

Gets the result code of the dialog box.

After calling checkWord, you can use this to get the dialog box's result code. The possible values are (from kspelldlg.h):

void  moveDlg (int x, int y)

moveDlg

Moves the dialog.

If the dialog is not currently visible, it will be placed at this position when it becomes visible. Use this to get the dialog out of the way of a highlighted misspelled word in a document.

int  heightDlg ()

heightDlg

[const]

Returns the height of the dialog box.

int  widthDlg ()

widthDlg

[const]

Returns the width of the dialog box.

QString  intermediateBuffer ()

intermediateBuffer

[const]

Returns the partially spellchecked buffer.

You might want the full buffer in its partially-checked state.

bool  ignore (const QString & word)

ignore

[virtual]

Tells ISpell/ASpell to ignore this word for the life of this KSpell instance.

Returns: false if word is not a word or there was an error communicating with ISpell/ASpell.

bool  addPersonal (const QString & word)

addPersonal

[virtual]

Adds a word to the user's personal dictionary.

Returns: false if word is not a word or there was an error communicating with ISpell/ASpell.

KSpellConfig  ksConfig ()

ksConfig

[const]

Returns: the KSpellConfig object being used by this KSpell instance.

void  setProgressResolution (unsigned res)

setProgressResolution

Sets the resolution (in percent) of the progress() signals.

E.g. setProgressResolution (10) instructs KSpell to send progress signals (at most) every 10% (10%, 20%, 30%...). The default is 10%.

 ~KSpell ()

~KSpell

[virtual]

The destructor instructs ISpell/ASpell to write out the personal dictionary and then terminates ISpell/ASpell.

int  modalCheck ( QString& text )

modalCheck

[static]

Performs a synchronous spellcheck.

This method does not return until spellchecking is done or canceled. Your application's GUI will still be updated, however.

int  modalCheck ( QString& text, KSpellConfig * kcs )

modalCheck

[static]

Performs a synchronous spellcheck.

This method does not return until spellchecking is done or canceled. Your application's GUI will still be updated, however.

This overloaded method uses the spell-check configuration passed as parameter.

void  setIgnoreUpperWords (bool b)

setIgnoreUpperWords

Call setIgnoreUpperWords(true) to tell the spell-checker to ignore words that are completely uppercase. They are spell-checked by default.

void  setIgnoreTitleCase (bool b)

setIgnoreTitleCase

Call setIgnoreTitleCase(true) to tell the spell-checker to ignore words with a 'title' case, i.e. starting with an uppercase letter. They are spell-checked by default.

void  misspelling (const QString & originalword, const QStringList & suggestions, unsigned int pos)

misspelling

[signal]

Emitted whenever a misspelled word is found by check() or by checkWord(). If it is emitted by checkWord(), pos=0. If it is emitted by check(), then pos indicates the position of the misspelled word in the (original) _buffer. (The first position is zero.) If it is emitted by checkList(), pos is the index to the misspelled word in the QStringList passed to checkList(). Note, that originalword can be only a word part, if it's word with hyphens.

These are called _before_ the dialog is opened, so that the calling program's GUI may be updated. (e.g. the misspelled word may be highlighted).

void  corrected (const QString & originalword, const QString & newword, unsigned int pos)

corrected

[signal]

Emitted after the "Replace" or "Replace All" buttons of the dialog was pressed, or if the word was corrected without calling the dialog (i.e., the user previously chose "Replace All" for this word).

Results from the dialog may be checked with dlgResult() and replacement().

Note, that when using checkList() this signal can occur more then once with same list position, when checking a word with hyphens. In this case originalword is the last replacement.

See also: check()

void  ignoreall (const QString & originalword)

ignoreall

[signal]

Emitted when the user pressed "Ignore All" in the dialog. This could be used to make an application or file specific user dictionary.

void  ignoreword (const QString & originalword)

ignoreword

[signal]

Emitted when the user pressed "Ignore" in the dialog. Don't know if this could be useful.

void  addword (const QString & originalword)

addword

[signal]

Emitted when the user pressed "Add" in the dialog. This could be used to make an external user dictionary independent of the ISpell personal dictionary.

void  ready (KSpell *)

ready

[signal]

Emitted after KSpell has verified that ISpell/ASpell is running and working properly.

void  progress (unsigned int i)

progress

[signal]

Emitted during a check(). i is between 1 and 100.

void  done (const QString &buffer)

done

[signal]

Emitted when check() is done.

Be sure to copy the results of buffer if you need them. You can only rely on the contents of buffer for the life of the slot which was signaled by done().

void  done (bool)

done

[signal]

Emitted when checkList() is done.

If the argument is true, then you should update your text from the wordlist, otherwise not.

void  death ( )

death

[signal]

Emitted on terminal errors and after clean up.

You can delete the KSpell object in this signal.

You can check status() to see what caused the death:
