Oh, you mean Visual Studio's ability to expand and contract blocks of code. That is a function of the Visual Studio IDE. It isn't available in the RichTextBox. You would have to write the functionality yourself.

That would take to long to explain in a forum post. Start by writing down all the functionality you need in your editor. Itemise everything, every minute detail. How it looks, how it response to mouse clicks, key presses and so on. Then work out how you would implement it. What classes you need, how they will interact, what events it will raise and respond to, and so on. Then start writing code. Write unit tests, ensure it works. Use the control. Once you have it to the quality that you want, you can use it in your application.

Yup, for some bizarre reason the very control we all spend so much time looking at is not part of the .NET framework AFAIK. If you dont want to do all the code then have a quick look at SharpDevelop (http://www.sharpdevelop.com/[^]) They have written everything from the ground up, but you'll have to spend a fair amount of time extracting the relevant bits - i did read somewhere that you can use their code as it has it's own namespace, and of course it is OpenSource - but there's a lot of code there. It also a good IDE.
