CheckCompoundWords Property

Gets/Sets whether to check for compound words.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property CheckCompoundWords As Boolean
public bool CheckCompoundWords {get; set;}
Remarks

Setting this to true is essential for languages such as German which allow for compound words. For example: if the word is "thesewordsarejoined" when the property is set to "False" the word would be marked as misspelled. But when set to "True" the word would be marked as spelled correctly. However, if one of the words inside of the compound word was misspelled, the whole word would be marked as misspelled.

Setting this to true will degrade lookup performance by a maximum of approximately 100[1-1/n] percent (where n is the number of letters in the word) for misspelt words.

There is no performance degredation for correctly spelt words.

On average for texts with mostly correctly spelt words the performance degredation for the Check method is roughly 25%.
