Addictive Software is now shipping its popular Thesaurus component as part of the Addict suite.
Following is a brief list of some of the major features of the component:
Large Thesaurus: The component comes with a compiled version of Roget's 1911 Public Domain Thesaurus, containing over 1000 context topics and 30,000 words.
Direct Edit Control Support: The thesaurus component uses the same custom parsers as does AddictSpell. This makes operation with any of the control supported by AddictSpell very easy.
Thesaurus Compiler: This version of the component comes with a utility that allows you to compile context-sensitive thesaurus topics of your own into the format used by the component.
Selection Avoidance: When used in conjunction with an editing control, the thesaurus dialog box will automatically avoid the selected word in the editing control and position the dialog directly under it.
Fast: Despite the size of the thesaurus file (it is compressed), the component loads in less than a second on a P100 (24 MB RAM). Context topic lookup is near instantaneous.
