Description
README.MD says
This sample demonstrates how to create a sample spell checking provider that conforms to the Windows Spell Checking API. It is registered with Windows and can then be used in text controls if selected by the user in the Language Control Panel.
and cpp/Readme.txt says
To run the sample:
=================
1. Go to the Control Panel, Language Clock and Region, Language, double-click in English in the list of languages.
2. Select "Sample Spell Checker" as the default spell checker for English.
3. Now it will be used by Windows controls
But I couldn't find regarding settings anywhere. Got stuck on step 1. My "Control Panel\Clock and Region" doesn't have Language item.
So where I can find system spell checker options? Is it available in some specific Windows versions? I have Enterprise Windows.
