I read the very good article on FTC in RBdeveloper magazine of bob Keeney. In the FTC User Guide, It’s a very good idea to give a FAQ on your product and My aim in the next will be to ask you basic questions to improve FAQ to help new users of FTC. 

I have been meaning to do a FAQ for sometime. As you have noticed,
I took some of your questions and turned them into FAQ entries in
the user guide. It is not necessary for you to generate questions,
but ask real questions about the FTC and I will either turn it
into a topic or FAQ in the user guide.


My new request is the following :
I don’t use the spell checking system not only because the plugin is expensive but also it’s not interesting in my applications in french langage. so, it will be a good opportunity not to have many errors when compiling formatted Texte.rbp and avoid all the code in relation with spell, using a constant like WITH_SPELL_CHECKING = true or false.
With FTC 1.1, I must destroy by hands all the code calling spell methods. It’s not easy and I must reproduce these steps for each release of FTC. 

It is simply not true that you need to do and cutting of code to
run the demo application. Just drop in the my Spell Check
Utilities (SCU) plugin. It costs you nothing and is fully
functional in the debugger, but will not give results in compiled
applications. So in your end applications, this does not even
apply because the only thing you should be pulling into your
project is the FTC folder and the software in the FTC folder has
NO dependencies on the spell checker.

The SCU plugin is based on the WinterTree SDK and it supports many
languages. Just go to their website any buy the dictionaries you
want. As for the cost, that is a business decision you must make
considering the benefits. The SCU is a professional solution that
is cross platform which I think is a very desiable attribute.
