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
