The CensorX ActiveX control can be used to alert the user or a programmer if a word or a phrase entered into a text box is a member of a separate list stored as a text file defined at the outset by the programmer.
Typical uses include spellcheckers, teaching aids and word screening.
If the word entered is a match to a member of the set in the list the background color of the text box changes to vbRed (red) and this condition can be detected by the program if desired - the text box does not have to be visible; the control can simply be used as a comparator.
If a match is not made the background color remains as white (&H80000005 to be precise).
Technical:
The control is case insensitive and trailing and leading whitespace in the wordlist is removed - see the sample wordlist.txt for more information.
The 'matched' background color (the control's BackColor property) is vbRed.
The 'un-matched' background color is &H80000005 , but it doesn't matter; just detect vbRed in a If... Then... Else structure.
The filename is wordlist.txt and is stored in the same folder as the control.
A sample wordlist.txt is provided to get you started edit it with 'notepad' and put in your own favorite words (or swear words :-) depending on the application).
