Textbox Spellcheck

[Bnoobie]

Hi working on my first app and was wondering if there is a way of spell checking what the user will be typing within the text box. or do i have to create the spell checker..

App Inventor has no libraries of routines; consequently it does not have an internal spell checker.  Here is what the textbox can do on its own  http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/components/userinterface.html#TextBox

Since you are new to AI2, here are some resources to help you learn to use the AI2 tools  A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.The article provides insight to some of the capabilities of AI2 which is an entry level Android compiler designed for 'ease of use' and not capabilities of the professional compilers like Eclipse or Android Studio.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling  .

The MIT tutorials are here:  http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/tutorials.html
