True North Software has announced the release of version 2.2 of the Spell Check Utilities (SCU). The SCU builds off the Wintertree Sentry Spell Checker Engine (SSCE) by providing the glue code, in the form of a plugin, to access the SSCE routines in REALbasic. The problem with many spell checking solutions in the REALbasic market place is that they use platform specific built-in services to provide spell checking. This is fine if you want to build for only one platform or the other, but becomes a hindrance when you want to create a cross platform application that behaves exactly the same for every platform. The SSCE is a fast, professional, cross-platform spell checking engine and has many features and benefits. Here is is what is new with version 2.2: Added functionality to the demo project that allows you to create compressed dictionaries from one or more word lists; Added a loadTXLXDictionary method that allows you to load tlx dictionaries in a cross platform independent manner; Fixed a problem with the ignore dictionary not being properly initialized. For a more complete list of features and capabilities, see the SCU User Guide in the download.

REAL Software, creator of REALbasic, a cross-platform development tool for creating software for Mac, Windows, and Linux, announced that REALbasic won "Best Programming Language" during The Code Project's First Annual Members Choice Awards. The Code Project is one of the largest online developer communities in the world, with more than six million registered members. The Code Project community was asked to rate their favorite software development-related applications at http://catalog.codeproject.com. Each codeproject.com member decides which companies or products deserve recognition. "Having REALbasic recognized as the 'Best Programming Language' in the Members Choice Awards is particularly valuable because it reinforces what our customers have been telling us all along - that REALbasic improves their productivity by letting them develop 4 times faster than any other programming language and being truly cross-platform, and that it puts the fun back into programming," commented Geoff Perlman, Founder and CEO of REAL Software.

KillerToolBar is a cross-platform toolbar for REALBasic which is like no other: it uses a theme-based framework so that the toolbar may mimic the look of any toolbar on any operating system, including OS X, Windows XP, Linux KDE Desktop or any other theme or design you care to create. Furthermore, KillerToolBar requires no additional images to be present in your code as all the drawing is handled by the toolbar itself. The developer has updated the demo files for KillerToolBar so that they work with newer versions of REALbasic. The previous demo windows used .State for checkboxes but since these are now tri-state and no longer Boolean the demo windows now use .Value instead.
