Hi Preeteesh,

I have uploaded the code that I started testing with to my repository, see
here:
https://github.com/CJCombrink/SpellChecker-Plugin/commit/c41ba08adfee3fdc1446617f594b2d24124f1aaa

To build without the underlining just comment out the #define (plan was to
commit it with it commented out but somehow did not do that. )

Regards,
---
