C# RichTextBox strange behaviour
-
greetings, for the first time ever im investigating RichTextBox control in C# windows forms. i know i need this control in my app as textBox is to simple for my needs. i have the followig code:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace _19_richtextbox { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void richTextBoxHome_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyValue == (char)(Keys.Return)) { richTextBoxChat.AppendText("Home:" + richTextBoxHome.Text + "\n"); richTextBoxHome.Clear(); } } } }for the moment i just want whatever is typed in one richtextbox to be displayed on the other richtextbox on hitting return. the issue is everytime i hit return the data is being transfered to the other control but the first control is left with a carriage return before the cursor. this happens everytime i hit return. how do i make it stop doing this? both the controls accept multiline input. please advise if i need to provide more info. thank you for your time. -

Add "e.Handled = true;" to your code, all will be fine. [edit]I can't spell "the" correctly - fixed.[/edit]

thank you for your response. it has solved my problem. may i introduce you to my new situation? i would like a way to make the "Home:" part in bold. i have found very little info on this on my searches. the following are the only actual code that i could understand. rtb1.Rtf = @"{\rtf1\ansi {\b hello} {\i World}}" ; richTextBox1.Rtf = @"{\rtf1\ansi This is in \b bold\b0.}"; ----------- im not sure how to proceed with this info. i just want the richtextbox to display "Home:" and "Away:" in bold and be able to handle URLs in text. please advise what should i specify when searching this potic on google or any reference your could think of would be of great help.
