Richtextbox spell check

Does anyone know of a cheap commerical component that offers spell checking for the richtextbox control

I understand how to use the office interop which allows access to the MS Word spell checker. Yes, it's easy to get the mis spelled words and suggestions using interop, but I want the spell as you type option with suggestions when you right click... perhaps there is a free component floating around with these options

Any help Always appreciated!

    Yeah certainly true.

    I found this helpful for underlining misspelled words.

    Nothing comes free in the world. Or you write your own spell check, that will be cost a lot of time, you use the spell check of Word, you can use this an build a facade over it or you buy a 3th party component.

    I think using the spell check of Word with a facade is a good middleway solution.

    Yeah like I said, I've read both of these articles prior.

    I take it the spell as you type feature is probably a time consuming function to implement. I have taken a look at this commercial product, it probably will do the trick but is a bit pricey.

    You can only get back the suggestion list and display it when needed.
