Hi,

Do you know how to create a RTF file? Do I have to use a third party component?

Thanks,

Dennis Huang

Hello,

There is the RichTextBox control that can be used in your application. I believe it is loaded in the Visual Studio Toolbox by default, you will need to scroll down a bit.

If this doesn't answer your question, please add more specifics on what you need.

Take care,

Untested: Place a hidden richtextbox control on the form and use its
'Selection*' properties to construct the document. This should work for
"simple" RTF documents.

Hi Dennis,

Well, you could use a RichTextBox object and use its SaveFile method
specifying which RTF format you want.

Thanks, Morten, Tom & Herfried.

Can I attach files to the RTF files, like attachment in email?

An RTF file is plain text marked up with RTF tags. The specification is in
MSDN. So one way is to generate your own RTF and write it out.
