When activated, spell-as-you-type (the red zig-zag line) and a context menu support is available automatically. ![Web.TextControl and spell checking](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2015/02/09/a/assets/spell_checking_web.webp "Web.TextControl and spell checking")In the *View* ribbon tab, spell checking and hyphenation can be enabled. Additionally, language detection can be enabled and the language at the current input position or selected text can be specified using the *Set Language* dialog. In order to activate the proofing tools in your application, TX Spell .NET needs to be installed on your development machine. If TX Spell .NET has been installed after TX Text Control .NET Server, you have to start the TX Text Control setup again in order to choose *repair* to update the installed Windows Service (spell checking will be activated and licensed, if a valid TX Spell .NET license is found on your development machine). When deploying your application, follow the deployment steps in the documentation: [Redistribution and Deployment](https://docs.textcontrol.com/textcontrol/windows-forms/article.winforms.requirements.htm) Under *Deploying the TX Text Control Web Server*, the files for the Windows Service are copied to the destination server. Copy the related spell checker files to the same folder including the dictionaries as described in here: [TX Spell .NET: Redistributable Files](https://docs.textcontrol.com/spell/windows-forms/article.distribute.distribute.htm) If TX Text Control finds a version of TX Spell .NET in the service folder on the server, spell checking is activated automatically and can be enabled using the ribbon bar. --- ## About Bjoern Meyer As CEO, Bjoern is the visionary behind our strategic direction and business development, bridging the gap between our customers and engineering teams.
