3. Add a function to process the spell check

//Now, let's start adding the Liquid UI script to the above file and save it.

1. Load wsoffice.dll Load wsoffice.dll in the ESESSION.sjs file and save it.

   // wsoffice.dll is required to be installed
   load('wsoffice'); 

2. Add a box, textbox, and pushbutton.

   Create a box with the label “Spelling Check-MS Word Automation”. A longtext control textbox with the label “sample text”. And a pushbutton "MS Word Spell Check" to initiate the spellcheck process, as shown below.

   // create a group box Spelling Check
   box([1,0], [12,72], "Spelling Check - MS Word Automation");
   
   //create a textbox to enter the text 
   textbox([2,1],[11,71],{'name':'sampletext'});
   
   //create a pushbutton to execute spellCheck process 
   pushbutton([13,0],'@3V@MS Word Spell Check',{'process':spellCheck});
   
   

   
    
3. Add a function to perform the spell check

   // Sample Function
   function spellCheck() {
       var myWord = new ActiveXObject('Word.Application');
   
       myWord.Caption = "Spell Check";
       myWord.Visible = true;
   
       var doc = myWord.Documents.Add();
       doc.Activate();
       doc.Content.Text = sampletext;
       doc.CheckSpelling();
   
       newText = doc.Content.Text;
       doc.Saved = false;
       doc.Close(0);
       doc = null;
   
       myWord.Quit();
       myWord = null;
   
       onscreen '*'
           copytext({'fromstring':'newText', 'totext':'sampletext'});
           enter('?');
   
   }
