I want to print RichTextBox Text with same text formatted(font size,color & bold) in RichTextBox which change by user, and I print that(RTB formatted text) with printDocument control, like using Graphic.drawString method ...

I try this :-

e.Graphics.DrawString(RTB1.Text, RTB1.Font, Brushes.Black, new RectangleF(50, 500, RTB1.Width, RTB1.Height));

but its shows in default font of RTB...

I searched, and find http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812425[^] this link, here creating a print method of a RTB,but problem is, I want to print RTB text with some other information which provided by(user) other controls text...

So, is it possible to print RichTextBox text with same text-format??
if its not, then tell me the others way to do that????

Thanks in advanced..

You have to set up a RichTextBox with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) display.

Quote:
The SelPrint method of the RichTextBox control does not allow a programmer to set the position of the output on the printer. In addition, the RichTextBox control does not provide a method for displaying its contents as they would show up on the printer. This article explains how to set up a RichTextBox with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) display and then how to print it.

For more info (this is vb article, but you can easily convert it to C#):

I hope this will help to you.

Sir, Thanks for help..
I converted the whole project into C# application.
the VB6 to C# converter doesn't convert this and so many, I solve some of them but I stuck here...
I got an error: couldn't convert "AxRichTextLib.AxRichTextBox" to "RichTextBox1" in C# application.
How to convert it??

Sampath Lokuge 30-Sep-13 3:44am

I couldn't find the 'AxRichTextLib' on above article's code snippet. Did you download the separate code with related to above article ?

JayantaChatterjee 30-Sep-13 4:19am

No, 'AxRichTextLib' is not in VB6 code, after I converted the code to C#, then the converter convert some code to this "AxRichTextLib" in .CS file.

I download code from here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/146022 (which you mention above).

Of course you can. What complexity? Open-source ILSpy can convert the whole project with very good quality.

You just needed to pay a bit more attention while trying to use this product.

I explained how to do the translation using ILSpy in my past answer in detail: COde Line Interpretatio of C# to VB.NET[^].
