It'd be an added feature for the Edit control. If
you right-click a
select text it offers you a new menu with the ability to spell-check
it. I don't think it difficult to implement (i have no idea where is
the edit control defined).
However, i'd be better if it were not static. So it loaded cut, copy,
paste, select all, menus and then check in the registry for more
menus. If they're it adds it, and when you press the button, the DLL
associated to that menu gets the control handle and do whatever it
wants: modify the text, show a spell-checking window, open a web page
about that word.... It'd give you more flexibility. Why only a
spell-checker and not a translator? or whatever you want. Apps could
install it.
they're called text services, Windows supports them since Windows XP and
the framework to run them is available for Windows 2000 too
