Formatting inside Rich Text Box

[raj231362]

Formatting inside Rich Text Box Is there a way I can make certain sections of text formatted in a rich text box? Like parts of it are bold, underlined, different sizes or colors, all in the same Rich Text Box. I'm making a program that will use an HTML view and a Standard view, and I have no way to format the standard view. So, in the HTML view, it would show "This is bold. This is Italic.", but in the standard view it would show "This is bold. This is Italic." Help me??

Hi, that is a basic but endless question. Formatting is what makes the RichTextBox different from a regular TextBox. Hence the answer is contained in the documentation on RichTectBox (read all of it), and in the many articles (CodeProject and other) on the subject. Google is your friend. :)

You can make custom formatting by using RichTextBox.Select(int index, int lengthofselection) and after applying formatting to selection like RichTextBox.SelectionFont = "......", then calling RichTextBox.DeselectAll() and repeating the cycle. This still is kindda lame ... i would suggest looking at rtf's file format and make the formatting yourself or search for a class that does that.
