Yes, I agree about the weakness of the RTB. Actually I saw a built-in editor control that was very nice in TKInter that comes with Python, because it has marks and tags, which I think I need. A mark represents a floating position somewhere in the contents of a text widget. A tag is like, well, a pair of marks under the one name, which defines a range of characters and those characters can be given a font, a color and other nice properties. Now if I could get that in C# I'd be happy. Maybe I should build my application in Python...

Hi, I'd like to develop a simple Windows application in which I have a rich text box (on which I have a tight control) and a version management system handling the files I'm editing, so that I dont modify my original text file, and I can come back to a previous version. Like I want to integrate the check in and check out in the editor, but I want to give the editor some features I dont find in standard editors (for my private needs). Is C# the wrong language for this? Like I've invested a lot of time learning it, it would libraries to handle this would be written in C++ but I'd rather avoid the complexities of C++.
