richtextbox.Rtf problem vb 2005

[nmilne]

be soft this is my first post here
I have a problem with the richtextbox.rtf code when I run my program
And move to the next record then move back:

(this is how the data looks before richtextbox.rtf before it changes it):
\pard \fi-360 \li360 \sb80 \sa40 \f2 \cf2 \'e0\'e1\cf0 \f0 (Aramaic)\par \b0 \f3 'ab\cf0 \f0 \par \pard \sa60 \b1 BDB Definition:\b0 \par \pard \fi-360 \li360 \sa60 1) father\par \pard \sb60 \sa60 \b1 Part of Speech:\b0 noun masculine\par \b1 A Related Word by BDB/Strong\rquote s Number:\b0 corresponding to H1\par \b1 Same Word by TWOT Number: \b0 2553\par

(this is how it looks after richtextbox.rtf converts it which just how I want it to look):
אב (Aramaic)
'ab
BDB Definition:
1) father
Part of Speech: noun masculine
A Related Word by BDB/Strong’s Number: corresponding to H1
Same Word by TWOT Number: 2553

(But this is how it look after I move back 1 record or move again to the next record):
?? (Aramaic)'abBDB Definition:1) fatherPart of Speech: noun masculineA Related Word by BDB/Strong’s Number: corresponding to H1Same Word by TWOT Number: 2553

‘Here is the code, at the moment I have put this code in button control, I need to stop it from replying the rtf format if it has already applied it but if haven’t to do so

Dim s As String
        s = Me.DefinitionRichTextBox.Text
        Me.DefinitionRichTextBox.Rtf = "{\rtf1\ansi\fcharset177" & s

Can you make it a bit clearer what you're trying to achieve here? What is richtextbox.rtf ??? Is it RichTextBox Control you're talking about?

sorry if i put my code in the BindingSource_P ositionChanged
then press next record the code then reformats the raw data in the richtextbox
to how it should show
the problem is when i press the previous record the code then reply the changes not on the raw data but on the new changed format its allready done
how can i stop it from replying to the allready changed data in the richtextbox

   Private Sub DictionaryBindingSource_PositionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DictionaryBindingSource.PositionChanged
 
        Dim s As String
        s = Me.DefinitionRichTextBox.Text
        Me.DefinitionRichTextBox.Rtf = "{\rtf1\ansi\fcharset177" & s
 
    End Sub

how can i stop it from replying the format on text that allready been done

I guess you can put the already applied format text into a variable and when you move back records you can then check for the older record or not to retrieve the old formated text. Because the control have no idea of what you want to do, it just do what you actually ask it to :D.

cheers.

Is the only difference that the line breaks are removed?
I think it's because while regular textboxes use "\r\n" as a lline break, rtf has it's own symbol and something is lost when you use the .Text property and send it right back with the .rtf property?
