I came across this code on the net and was wondering if anyone could help me tweak this to search more than just one textbox.
Thanks
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Word.Application app = new Word.Application();
app.Visible = false;
object template = Missing.Value;
object newTemplate = Missing.Value;
object documentType = Missing.Value;
object visible = true;
object optional = Missing.Value;
object saveChanges = false;
object originalFormat = Missing.Value;
object routeDocument = Missing.Value;
Word._Document doc1 = app.Documents.Add(ref template, ref newTemplate, ref documentType, ref visible);
doc1.Words.First.InsertBefore(TextBox1.Text);
doc1.CheckSpelling(
ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional,
ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional);
object first = 0;
object last = doc1.Characters.Count - 1;
TextBox1.Text = doc1.Range(ref first, ref last).Text;
app.Quit(ref saveChanges, ref originalFormat, ref routeDocument);
}

Spell Checker using word.

do you mean from this line
doc1.Words.First.InsertBefore(TextBox1.Text);
are you able to explain a tad more in what you like to achieve so we can better assist you

I've got a form that I'd like to use MS Word's spell check capability to check the entire form not just one textbox, like the example does. I was wondering how to go about adding more textboxes to this code for it to check instead of just checking textbox1.
Thanks,

if I understand correctly, you wish to have say, several textboxes on your form, and you wish to do some word searching in MS Word, using the values from these several textboxes on your application form correct please do correct me if I am wrong.
If this is the case, you can go through each textbox on the form, and then use your code to get the value of the textbox, in the for each loop, and then do the search based on that. Example (I'm unsure if it should be from this line but hopefully itll give you an insight):
foreach(Control currentControl in this.Controls)
{
if (currentControl.GetType() == typeof(TextBox))
{
TextBox theTextBox = (TextBox)currentControl;
//rest of code here...
doc1.Words.First.InsertBefore(theTextBox.Text);
//and other code here
}
}
Does this help/make sense

I would suspect something like this would work for you. assuming this function is part of the form that contains the text boxes you want to check.
foreach (Object o in Controls)
{
if (!(o is TextBox))
continue;
TextBox tb = (o as TextBox);
doc1.Words.First.InsertBefore(tb.Text);
doc1.CheckSpelling( ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional);
object first = 0;
object last = doc1.Characters.Count - 1;
tb.Text = doc1.Range(ref first, ref last).Text;
}
