Hello (again) CodeNStuff ,

I'll gonna give my problem directly, so here it is :

Whenever I open File that are made in RichTextBox it always added character that are irrelevant

What My Files look likes when I open it Rollover to view spoiler

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}}

\par
}

What I really want.

Hey,

You first need to understand the Rich Text Format; it stores the text in it's formatted way, i.e. how it looked (color, font, etc.).

Rich Text Box can parse the .rtf format saved by WordPad on Windows and TextEdit on a Mac.

It looks different from a normal text file as it stores the formatting of the test. You can parse and show it as a file in a richly formatted way.

Code: Select all

'Use this
Dim s As String = richTextBox1.Text
Using writer As new StreamWriter("C:\Path\to\file.txt")
   writer.WriterLine(s)
   writer.Close()
End Using

'That was to save the file normally (without the formatting, like the way you wanted). Load it and display it back.

That was a simple approach, if I would've been in your place, I would've written a new Class Parser and a Writer for the the file format and then would've displayed it in the text box

+Rep if it helps ;)

Cheers! (PM me if you need more help in VB/C# or any other language)

Ok .. So only .rtf and .txt file Richtextbox can be handle ?
Then how can I save my file in different format using RichTextBox ?

[visualtech]

.rtf - Formatting
.txt - Without formatting!

RichTextBox can show whatever you want! Its a text box after all. Any UTF-8/ANSI text is readable in a RichTextBox.

You can save it to virtually any file (format) but you'll loose the formatting. If you want the formatting, use .rtf else use .txt.

Ok . So can you suggest other than RichTextBox ?
I want to save my files in my own extension. And Read it as what should it be.

You can make one by inheriting RichTextBox of System.Windows.Controls
