Hi,
<span class=”jCAhz ChMk0b”><span class=”ryNqvb”>Visual Studio 2022 has a built-in spell checker (Learn about the Spell Checker – Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn).</span></span> <span class=”jCAhz ChMk0b”><span class=”ryNqvb”>Unfortunately, I can’t activate it, and I suspect VisualGDB is to blame because it</span></span><span class=”jCAhz ChMk0b”><span class=”ryNqvb”> works for C# projects, for example.
</span></span>Does anyone know how I can activate the spell checker?Regards, Thomas
It looks like your technical support period has expired. We would be happy to help you, however we would kindly ask you to renew your technical support on the following page first: https://sysprogs.com/splm/mykey
Finally, it’s done! Technical support is renewed. I upgraded to VisualGDB 6.1 and still facing this issue.
Regards, Thomas
Thanks for renewing your license.
The spell checker is a part of the regular VC++ IntelliSense engine. It is less accurate then the Clang-based IntelliSense provided by VisualGDB, and only works with MSBuild and GNU Make projects (not advanced CMake). You can switch between Clang Intellisense and regular VC++ IntelliSense as shown here.
Another option would be to enable the Clang’s spell checker by adeding “-fspell-checking” to VisualGDB Project Properties -> IntelliSense Settings -> Additional flags for C/C++ files, and also to the RelevantCFLAGS field in %VISUALGDB_DIR%\CppEngineTuningInfo.xml. That said, there is very little information available on Clang’s spell checker, and it doesn’t seem to be very popular.
Yet another option would be to use a stand-alone command-line spell checker, and create a custom shortcut to run it (VisualGDB Project Properties -> Custom Shortcuts). This way you could run it via a menu command in Visual Studio or the VisualGDB toolbar.
