Hello!
I have two rich text boxes RTB1 and RTB2.
I have text with different fonts,colors and styles in RTB1 and RTB2 is empty.
when i use this code:
RTB2.text = RTB1.text
RTB2 displays the text but with its default font and color.
How can i keep the fonts and styles used in source text box to the destination textbox.

Thanks for Any help!

use the copy and paste methodes:

RichTextBox1.SelectAll()
        RichTextBox1.Copy()
        RichTextBox1.DeselectAll()
        RichTextBox2.Paste()

tested it with bold text and works

thank you Rupesh!
it works...
i have used (as suggested by TDDragon)
RTB1.SellectAll()
RTB1.copy()
RTB1.deselectAll()
RTB2.Paste()

It also works!
Could you please tell me what is the difference? What are limitations? These are same or one has advantage over other?

is a single line of code.

RTB1.SellectAll()<br />
RTB1.copy()<br />

RTB2.Paste()

is four lines of code.

Although for all intents and purposes there is no difference, RPS's solution is meant to do do what you wanted, while TDDragon's suggestion does what you wanted as a side effect.
I would recommend using RPS's code, simply because keeping your code as small as possible is always preferable.

My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

I don't know how important it is for you to print from your created app. But you can try exporting the grid to an excel spreadsheet which is very easy - and you will be able to print from excel.

Thank You

Is there any benefit to doing this:

If obj isnot Nothing Then
obj.Dispose
obj = Nothing
End If

I'm not sure there is. Your views are appreciated!

Yes, it prevents an exception being thrown when you attempt to call a method on Nothing.

You save yourself from being entrapped with the dreaded exception like this:

add a reference from the project that does the calling to the other project (right mouse click on project select add reference tab projects)

then add an imports statement to the form (or class) that does the calling
imports project2

after that you can use everything from project2 as if it was in project1

Remarks:
-you can do it without the imports too
just add project2.Form1 when calling the form1 in project2 instead of form1
-when you have a reference from project1 to project2 you cannot add a reference from project2 to project1 this would couse a circular dependency (straight from the error from vs.net Poke tongue | ;-P

)

hope this helps

Hi thanks for the Reply

i have done as you said, and i click on the Project Tab and select the available Project in this case ProjectB and select it in the selected components and when i click ok, it gives me the following Error.

a Reference to 'ProjectB' could not be added. An assembly must have a dll extension in order to be referenced.

ah yes forgot about that Poke tongue | ;-P

in properties of projectB put application type (on application tab) to 'class library'
this does mean you cannot start you application from a form on projectB after that it should work fine

If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why.
