RichTextBox problem

In VB - Visual Studio 2003
As I understand it,
in
the KeyDown event of a RichTextBox, I can put
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Return then e.Handled = False
and this will prevent the Enter key being added to the RichTextBox

but it doesn't - any ideas?

There is probably not an easy solution for the return key. Below is copied
from .net help:

"To handle keyboard events only at the form level and not allow other
controls to receive keyboard events, set the KeyPressEventAr gs.Handled
property in your form's KeyPress event-handling method to true. Certain keys,
such as the TAB, RETURN, ESCAPE, and arrow keys are handled by controls
automatically. In order to have these keys raise the KeyDown event, you must
override the IsInputKey method in each control on your form. The code for the
override of the IsInputKey would need to determine if one of the special keys
is pressed and return a value of true."

I didn't realise all this, but the Return key does raise the keyDown event

Actually the answer seems to be simple.
e.Handled = True
that's it

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,

I am trying to spell check a richtextbox. Through code (shown below) I save the contents of the richtextbox to a rtf file, open the rtf file in Word, spell check it, save it, and then load the ftf file back into the ricktextbox using loadfile. The problem is that the richtextbox seems to remain bound to the rtf file. If I make a change in the richtextbox after spell checking, the changes are successfully saved to the database but if the...

Using the 1.1 framework. We are using a newly created instance of a RichTextBox Class in our server code to manipulate RTF that is stored in the database. To clarify, we are not using or attempting to use this class in the aspx page that calls the code, nor is the 'using System.Windows.Forms' referenced in any of the aspx pages. The first client using this software has been experiencing an error that we cannot reproduce in-house. The...

I've been having a major problem using the Rtf property of the Richtextbox. I use the RTB to generate RTF code to save it in an access database. I'm successfully able to do this. However, the moment I retrieve the RTF code from the database back to the Rtf property, it ignores any tags that refer to bullet information. I don't understand why. This is the code that is stored in the database generated by the Richtextbox:

After a lot of debugging effort I have to conclude that it does. Or at least can. I take a substring (RichTextBox.Text.Substring) before setting SelectionStart and after and get a different result. The second result begins two characters to the right of the first. In an earlier version of the program I did not have this problem. But in that version the RichTextBox actually appeared on a form. In the version of the program with the...

Hello, I have a multiline RichTextBox that I use for data logging. I'm concerned about how the AppendText method reacts when over time the maximum number of characters have been added. Do the oldest characters it contains start rolling off the top into the bit bucket, does it simply start silently ignoring appends until some characters, are deleted, or does some kind of exception get thrown? I've heard numerous opinions on what the...
