Hello there this is a very nice utility that you have made.
ReplyBut is it possible that it can work with some other software besides the devstudio. I have a small program wherein the user has to write letters.
I was searching for one such utility. Please advise me if this thing can work and how do I configure It to work with other software.
Thank again for a great Utility,
Bye Alpesh Makwana

You can get the new version from http://ootips.org/yonat/4dev/Spelly25.zip
It will only work for Visual C++ 6. If you had an older version installed, please remove all occurrences of "Spelly" from the registry before installing.

I downloaded this little add-in last night and gave it a try. Great job Yonat. It worked much better than I had hoped for. I used it from VC 6.0 running on Windows 2000 Professional.
This little add-in will definitely save me the grunt work involved with putting code into MSWord, running the spell checker, and then placing it back into code. The company I work for does formal code reviews. It is really embarrassing when others review your work that has been littered with spelling errors.

With this tool some problems occur while running under Windows NT. With administrator rigths it works fine. But with an normal user (with restricted rigths to file-system and registry) the dll register server (regsvr32) returns an error.
As normal user there is no way to use this tool.
