Spell checking in Outlook custom form

[sergeya]

We work on the Outlook plugin for our document management system and create
Outlook custom form subclassed from the main email form. It turns out that
there is no API to Outlook spell checker and automatic spell check on send
event can only be invoked via menu macro. As result, our plugin can not
process results of spell check to decide whether to send email.

Questions:
- is there a direct API to Outlook spell checker that can be called on email
body item ?
- is there a way to receive results of spell check ?

Thanks,
-Sergey

No to both questions. You're on your own when it comes to custom forms and
spelling checks.

There is actually a way to do that through hidden Word application object
with the downside of getting security warnings when a body of email is copied
to Word and back
