Rich Text Editor for WinForms - Use the Autocorrect Feature to Create a Text Expander Application

The RichEditControl ships with the IAutoCorrectService service that can be used to create a text expander application. Such applications enable you to replace your shorthand combination of keystrokes with predefined text or images.

This example loads the Mary Morken's 2007 list of abbreviations for medical transcriptions (13420 entries) and uses a sample smiley icon to insert instead of ":-)" combination of symbols.
