RichText Box Help pls...

[Soulless]

I have added a RTB to my form and found some code online:

rtb1.Rtf = @"{\rtf1\ansi \b Conversion Report\b0.}";

I want to be able to add lines to this box, with different fonts,
sizes, alignment, etc. But I am not sure what I can do with Rtf.

Obviously /b is for bold, but what else is there? Is there a link
with explanations on what I see above and more useful stuff?

Thanks!

The latest I could find for the Rich Text Specification is for Word
2002, but it should do what you need:

This might start you off. Play around with the Method "Select", and
then look at the SelectionXXX properties, such as SelectionBackColor,
SelectionFont, SelectionColor, and so on.

Thanks guys, the problem I have is I am building the text as I go and
want to add bold text, normal text, etc etc... using selectedXXXX
requires the text to be selected, right?

I believe it is easiest to just get the string, and then use the usual
methods, SelectionXXX, etc, to dress it up.

You can save the current selection, select the text you want to format,
change the formatting as desired, and then restore the original selection.

Also, you can write some test code to just apply certain kinds of
formatting you're interested in, and then look at the RTF text that
results. In that way, you can figure out what RTF to apply yourself for
specific results, if you don't want to do the above to set formatting in
your actual application.
