Problem with long dashes and rich textbox control

I am having trouble using long dashes (Em dashes) with the Microsoft Rich
Textbox 6.0 control. Whenever I paste them in, the control converts them to
hyphens. I have found it is the same with the Total Access Memo control by
FMS. I have even inserted the \emdash code directly into the rich text code,
but with the same results.

Searching Google Groups, I came across a posting by someone who experienced
the same thing, but noted that the control worked fine with Em dashes when
run under NT4, but failed to work with them under Windows 2000
(http://groups.google.com/group/micro...c9e47878dd4be).

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this situation, and if there
was a way to get Em dashes to work with a rich textbox control.

Thanks!

Neil

I've got a problem with the RichTextBox control in .Net where the garbage collector doesn't reclaim its memory after I've finished with it. My program adds a series of rtb's to the control array of a panel to make a basic text editor. When the form that the panel is on is closed these rtb's are still in memory. If you want to see the probelm try this: create a form which has a panel on it. Create a class,

Is there an editable RTF textbox control which allows the user to apply bold, italic, etc.? I tried the Microsoft Rich Textbox Control, but there doesn't seem to be a way to allow the user to change the formatting while typing text. Is there such a beast? Thanks, Neil

First, let me start by saying my asp.net experience is still in it's infancy so please bare with me as I try to explain my situation. I have created a single page that with the use of many controls (i.e. roundedcorners component www.4guysfromrolla.com], buttons and panels) functions like a tab control. The buttons are programmatically designed to make the corresponding panel visible. Sample aspx.vb code:

Using the MS Rich Textbox Control 6.0 in Access 2000, I need to concatenate several RTB controls into a single RTF file. Sometimes two strings will be side-by-side; other times they need to be separated by a hard return. For example, say I have the following 4 RTB controls in my form: RTB1 = "abcd" RTB2 = "efgh" RTB3 = "ijkl" RTB4 = "mnop"

Just found out that the Microsoft Rich Textbox does not support full text justification, since it's based on Version 1.0 of the RichEdit Window Class, and full text justification is only available in versions 3.0 or later of the class. However, also just found out that the new Rich Text property in Access 2007 ALSO does not support full text justification! This seems incredible, that MS would create a brand new application, and not...

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic manipulation. I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above. But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...

I'm having problems with an implementation of the Microsoft Rich Textbox Control 6.0 in an Access 2000 database. The form with the controls works fine except on two computers. On these computers, the form will only open if the MDB file is in an uncompiled state (implying that that computer has to be the one to compile it). Otherwise, the form doesn't open, and the user gets error 2501 ("The OpenForm action was canceled"). Furthermore, once...
