TX Spell .NET ActiveX Package Goes CodePlex
The TX Spell .NET ActiveX Package wraps the Windows Forms spell checker in a COM-visible user control, enabling VB6 application integration. Published on CodePlex as an open-source Visual Studio project, developers can modify the wrapper source and contribute community improvements.

In January 2012, we released an ActiveX Package for our spell checking component TX Spell .NET. This ActiveX Package contains a Visual Studio project that encapsulates TX Spell .NET for Windows Forms in a COM visible user control in order to expose Visual Basic 6.0 compatible members.
TX Spell .NET ActiveX Package enables you to add high-performance spell checking capabilities to your VB6 applications. Technically, it is based on TX Spell .NET for Windows Forms that gives you access to the power of .NET technology in your Win32 based application.
We learned that you are modifying the wrapper to fit your requirements. Feel free to make changes and to contribute to this project. We would like to encourage the community to discuss and suggest changes or to upload new versions.
