Question about Main Dictionaries

["Dave Moore" <address@hidden>]

Hi Glenn,
further to my question of last week (we've now bought the components and are
very pleased with them), I have a query about MainDictionaries.

How do I activate a main dictionary? I can get them to appear on the list of
main dictionaries, but I cannot get them to be ticked (enabled)
programatically. Here's a snippet of the code I'm using to set up the main
dictionaries. Basically, we need to enable two dictionaries, English and
Technical, by default.

var
  EnglishMainDictionary: TMainDictionary;
  TechnicalMainDictionary: TMainDictionary;

  EnglishDictionary: String;
  TechnicalDictionary: String;
begin
  // Previously, the second entry in the ConfigDictionaryDir property has
been set up with
  // the directory containing the main dictionaries.

  AddictSpell.ConfigDefaultMain.Clear;
  AddictSpell.MainDictionaries.Clear;

  // Function to return the Filename of the English Dictionary into
EnglishDictionary
  GetStandardDictionaryPath('EnglishDictionary', Application,
EnglishDictionary);

  // Function to return the Filename of the Technical Dictionary into
TechnicalDictionary
  GetStandardDictionaryPath('TechnicalDictionary', Application,
TechnicalDictionary);

  // Add the two dictionaries to the Main Dictionary Listing
  AddictSpell.ConfigDefaultMain.Add(EnglishDictionary);
  AddictSpell.ConfigDefaultMain.Add(TechnicalDictionary);

  // Activate the two dictionaries
  EnglishMainDictionary := TMainDictionary.Create;
  EnglishMainDictionary := AddictSpell.GetMainDictionary(EnglishDictionary);
  EnglishMainDictionary.Loaded := True;

  TechnicalMainDictionary := TMainDictionary.Create;
  TechnicalMainDictionary :=
AddictSpell.GetMainDictionary(TechnicalDictionary);
  TechnicalMainDictionary.Loaded := True;

  etc...

This code doesn't enable either of them, but both are in the Main
Dictionaries List. It takes the user to go in and check them to enable them.
Similarily, ActiveCustomDictionary doesn't enable (tick) the custom
dictionary I've set up, but words seem to be saved to it nevertheless.

I get the feeling I'm missing something incredibly basic here, but what
exactly is it?

Best,
Dave
