Hi,
I placed the rich text box,and i applied some font settings to the selected text of rich text box.
Now to save the changes to a file i used the following statement
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font(fontname, fontsize, fstyle);
richTextBox1.SaveFile(fn, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText);
where fn contains th filename.
but now also the changes are not applied to the file.
Please help me.
rich text box

man you are open the file and display it in richtextbox then you simply change the font style in your ritchtextbox when you finish editing every thing you simply save the ritchtextbox back to the origional file so your formating suppose to be applied to the richtextbox control then you save your richtextbox control to .rtf file, you don't need to care about formating data in the file
best regards

Font newFont;
//get the font that is used in the rtf selection font

//insert the new font instead selected font and return forcus to rtftext
rtftext.SelectionFont = newFont;
rtftext.Focus();

ok here its the entire example that i wrote as professional c# book indecated just make form and put the following control and change the file path in save and load buttons
also it doesn't deal with font color in the richtextbox control but you can add to it
//this form contain 4 buttons at top (btnbold,btnitalic,btnunderline,btnCenter)
//also contain textbox txtsize and a richtextbox called rtftext
//also contain 2button at buttom(btnload,btnsave)
namespace
WindowsControls{
public partial class RichTextBox : Form{
public RichTextBox(){
InitializeComponent();
//add handlers for the size textboxtxtsize.KeyPress +=
new KeyPressEventHandler(txtsize_KeyPress);txtsize.Validating +=
new CancelEventHandler(txtsize_Validating); //this part to start IE if we click a link in the page this.rtftext.LinkClicked += new System.Windows.Forms.LinkClickedEventHandler(this.rtftext_LinkClicked);}
