Hello,

I was just going through my project folder and found this document editor I was working on some time ago. Its only basic but may help you if you want to make a text editor.

This is the same as my other tutorial in VB.Net and I have just converted it for any C# users who may want it.



Features include:
Save & Load as *.rtf file (saves font/sizes/colour etc rather than just plain text)
Change text colour
Change text font/size
Change font style

Here is how to make this little application. First you will need to add the following controls to your form:

MenuStrip - add 3 fields into this control "Save"..."Load"...and "Exit"
14 Buttons
1 RichtextBox

Button 1 - 5 = Used to select font style
Buttons 6 - 14 = Used to select colours
Button 15 = Choose font

OK once you have done that and arranged the controls as you want them you need to stretch out the richtextbox so it fits most of the form, make it nice and big.

Then you can simply copy and paste this code over. Its mostly button code so its easy to follow, each one changes Font/Color/Style:

Code: Select all

namespace DocPad
{
	public partial class Form1
	{

		internal Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
		}
		private void Button11_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.LightSlateGray;
		}

		private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(this.RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold);
		}

		private void Button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(this.RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Regular);
		}

		private void Button3_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(this.RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Italic);
		}

		private void Button4_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(this.RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Strikeout);

		{
			RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Green;
		}

		private void Button14_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Orange;
		}
		private void SaveToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			SaveFileDialog savefiledialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();
			savefiledialog1.Title = "Save File";
			savefiledialog1.FileName = "*.rtf";
			savefiledialog1.Filter = "RTF |*.rtf";
			if (savefiledialog1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
			{
				RichTextBox1.SaveFile(savefiledialog1.FileName, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText);
			}
		}

		private void LoadToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			OpenFileDialog openfiledialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();
			openfiledialog1.Title = "Save File";
			openfiledialog1.FileName = "*.rtf";
			openfiledialog1.Filter = "RTF |*.rtf";
			if (openfiledialog1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
			{
				RichTextBox1.LoadFile(openfiledialog1.FileName, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText);
			}
		}

		private void ExitToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			this.Close();
		}

		private void Button15_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			FontDialog fontdialog1 = new FontDialog();
			if (fontdialog1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
			{
				RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = fontdialog1.Font;
			}
		}

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }
	}

} //end of root namespace

If everything went ok you should now be able to run and use your basic text editor .

[zachman61]

are you beginning to venture from VB?
nice and i guarantee this will help me learn it

[Usman55]

Hmmm... Wordpad in C#? I remember when you posted this. This was what made me to make my own editor. Do it in C++ lol.

I think he just used a converter, but he may very well have actually did the whole conversion process himself.

C# is easier than VB.NET.

[Kieken72]

Could u release it also in Vb.Net?

[GoodGuy17]

It is in VB, check the VB section for a topic titled as this is.
