Method summary
- (id)
delegate;
Availability: OpenStep
Return the spell server delegate.
- (BOOL)
isWordInUserDictionaries: (NSString*)word
caseSensitive: (BOOL)flag;

This method vends the spell server to the Distributed Objects system so that it can be connected to by clients.
- (void)
run;
Availability: OpenStep
Initiate the run loop of this service. Once the spell server object is vended, this method is called so that the server can start responding to the messages sent by the client. These messages are passed on to the NSSpellServer instance's delegate.
- (void)
setDelegate: (id)anObject;
Availability: OpenStep
This method is used to set the delegate of the spellserver. When a spelling service is run the spell server is vended out to DO. The spelling service must instantiate an instance of this class and set itself to be the delegate. This allows the service to respond to messages sent by the client.
- Declared in:
- AppKit/NSSpellServer.h
Availability: OpenStep
This is an informal protocol since the NSSpellChecker will need to use a proxy object to call these methods. These methods need to be implemented by the spell service so that the NSSpellServer instance call call them when necessary.
