When you save the file, use this code:

Code: Select all

RichTextBox1.SaveFile("filename",RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)

This'll save the file in rich format, preserving the colors and fonts.

@comathi.

Thank you for a fast reply, your suggestion is right about saving the file back to your PC but this case is different
its a database where-in the file and the edited fonts and styles specifically
needs to be saved inside the database. the problem occurs after finally editing the file, likes changing its font styles,
size, bullets, highlights, colors then save it to database , where-in the saved file inside
the databse goes back to plain text w/o specific colors and styles.

I don't think your database can contain rich text. However, you could always try saving HTML to the database. That way you could keep the correct formatting in a webbrowser and simply edit the code in a plain text editor.

EDIT:

I stand corrected, there is a way to achieve what you want to accomplish. When saving the file, do the following:

Code: Select all

Dim rtfStr As String=RichTextBox1.Rtf
'Now, here, you can insert rtfStr into your database

When it comes time to re-edit the file, you can do this:

Code: Select all

Dim rtfStr As String = 'Get the info from the database to your String
RichTextBox1.Rtf=rtfStr

Thanks to this link for getting me on the right track.
