Hi, i'm trying to make a dialog that wotks like a spellchecker.
What i did until now is to search errors in the text, going word by word until antoher cursor that is in the end of the text. When i find an error, i show the word and the possibilities in a listbox using a dialog. If i select a word and press a button "replace" i call another macro to do something. This macro have to replace the word i found with the selected from the listbox. I can get the word selected from the list box but i don't know how to replace the word from the document with the selected one.
Can anybody help me, please?
Thanks |

In the following, I assume that you have a variable called oFound that points to a textCursor object and that the textCursor object currently points to the piece of text that you wish to replace. sReplace is the variable containing the desired replacement word.
In OOo BASIC use | Code: | | oFound.string = sReplace |
In other languages use | Code: | | oFound.setString(sReplace) |
If this doesn't help then post the relevant code portion.

Since the
oFound.setString( ... )
works in any language, including OOo Basic, that is my preferred style. Why use any other style? One syntax to rule them all, and in the darkness.... oh, nevermind.
