Removing Words From the Auto-Add Dictionary 10
The RemoveAutoAdd function deletes a specified word from both the user and
auto-add dictionaries. This function returns true if the word was removed and
returns nil if the word was not removed. This method does not remove the word if
it is not present in the auto-add dictionary or if there are case inconsistencies
between the argument to this function and the word actually found in the dictionary.
Using protoCharEdit Views 10
The protoCharEdit proto provides a comb-style view that facilitates the
correction of individual characters in misrecognized words. The view provided by
this proto uses an
rcGridInfo frame internally to provide a horizontal row of
single-character input areas. The system-supplied corrector available from the
picker displayed when the user taps a recognized word makes use of this view.
Figure 10-7 illustrates a typical
protoCharEdit view.
Figure 10-7 Example of a protoCharEdit view
This section describes how to position a protoCharEdit view, how to manipulate
the text string it displays, and how to restrict its input to a specified set of characters.
Positioning protoCharEdit Views 10
There are two ways to position a protoCharEdit view within its parent view.
You can set the values of its top and left slots to values that position it at the top
left corner of the view, or you can provide a similar value for its viewBounds slot.
If you specify the values of the top and left slots, then the
ViewSetupFormScript method of the protoCharEdit view supplies an
appropriate value for the viewBounds slot based on the values of the
cellHeight , cellWidth , and maxChars slots. On the other hand, if you
provide the values of the viewBounds and cellWidth slots, then this view
supplies appropriate values for the maxChars and cellHeight slots for you.
This proto provides useful default values for the cellWidth and cellHeight
slots; it is recommended that you do not change these values.
The technique you use depends on how you want to set the slots that this proto
provides. For detailed information, see “protoCharEdit” (page 8-41) in Newton
Programmer’s Reference.
