Mode Property

Gets or sets the type of spell checking that will be performed (none, dialog, as you type, or both).

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Property Mode As SpellCheckingMode

C#

public SpellCheckingMode Mode {get; set;}

Remarks

The Mode property determines how objects are spell checked. They can be spell checked as the user types, spell checked with a dialog after the user is done editting the text, neither, or both.

When the mode is set to SpellCheckingMode.AsYouType, each time the user spaces out of a word, that word will be spell checked. If that word contains a spelling error, the SpellError event will be fired.

When the mode is set to SpellCheckingMode.DialogOnValidating, and the user leaves the control or object being editted, the text is spell checked in a spell checking dialog.

Setting the mode to SpellCheckingMode.DialogOnValidatingAndAsYouType uses a combination of both behaviors mentioned above.
