Hi,

I have a textarea in my panel and the spellcheck is turned on (I see the red curly underlining).

Is that the chrome spellcheck? Is there a way to turn it off ?

Thanks Stefan

You should be able to handle this in your HTML. Take a look at this StackOverflow answer.

    Command line parameter ?

    disable-asynchronous-spellchecking

    See chromium/chrome_switches.cc at master · adobe/chromium · GitHub

    Added this to the manifest, restarted InDesign but still no luck:

    <CEFCommandLine>

                <Parameter>-disable-asynchronous-spellchecking</Parameter>

    </CEFCommandLine>

    The curly underlining still shows.

    Any other ideas ?

    Thanks Stefan

    Well it should be <Parameter>--disable-asynchronous-spellchecking</Parameter> with -- and not just - but I just tried that and it didn't work.

    There is an experimental spell flag mentioned in that file but I highly doubt that will work.

    I don't have any other ideas, maybe someone else will have.
