Hi Malik
Basically what you need to do it to create you own custom control that
inherit form the RichTextBox class. You will create new project of type
"windows control "make that class inherit from
System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox. Then make your required modification .
then in your main project you can use that control ( click the reference on
solution explorer , then add reference to your control project ). you can
also find many articles that would help on how to create your usercontrol
See for example

You don't need your own control here. Just to use the standard one.
Only that the advanced features like footers, headers, tables, embeded
objects, styles, etc. are not accessible with messages.
You have to "build" the rtf data and feed it to the control.
