Using third party compoments with Addict
Extensibility has always been a key to the long term success of Addict. Addict's parsing model allows for nearly any edit control with a capable API to be used by both Addict's spelling check and thesaurus components.
Addictive Software has partnered with several third party component vendors to ensure that Addict's spelling check and thesaurus code are fully supported with their products. Some vendors have also implemented support for Live-Spelling.
