[SOLVED] Qt Creator spelling checker

andre

While typing, you get a list of suggestions (after a little delay, or when hitting CTRL+space). That can help you in this case. For the rest, I appreciate it that Creator does not think it knows better than me what I'd like to type. Case is very relevant in C++...

I agree with you but sometimes It would be great to have some visual indicator to realize when you misspelled a word and not to have to wait up to compilation to see it.

If this were so, it would get irritating very soon... Ex. - setText() and setTime() could be treated as mis-spelt and a warning pops up
It would be difficult to implement an acceptable version of such a feature

Magnum

I mean It could warn you when you've wrote some method that is not declared(or inherited) in the class.

How about setting up a different font/color/etc. for functions? Then the functions that are recognized use the new style and those that are not stay with the default.

Just go to Tools->Options->Text Editor->Font & Color and change the settings (you will need to copy the default set op colors first as those are read-only).

Magnum

I'm not sure how to do that. For example this methods have the same colors:

@ nameLabel->setBuddy(nameEdit);
nameLabel->setbuddy(nameEdit);@

but the second one doesn't exists, how can I change this behavior ?
That's what I'm looking for.

Just change the color for "Function" to be different from the default settings.

Magnum

"Function" doesn't appear in the list. I'm using qcreator 2.5.

There can be problems which are really more important than yours.

As for example - there is one problem for russian-speaking countries.

We have letter "а" which is really similar to latin "a" - so when it appears in code - it can cause many problems..

P.S. You are developer - you and only you must control your code. Qt Creator just helps you.

Hmmm... "Function" is definitely there in master:-) I currently do not have a 2.5 around to check, but I would be surprised if this was a recent addition.

Magnum

I've tested it and that's what I was looking for. It doesn't appear in qtcreator 2.5.

Thanks.
