hi there,

i have a problem with RTF... so i hope somebody can help me with it

i now developing a messenger client using vb (6.0). i used to using RTF control as my ChatHistory... till i ecountered a problem sending text style properties (bold, italic, underline, font name n font size) to the server.

Sending TextRTF format to server can solve the problem but not very efficient way coz... TextRTF will add a lots of garbage (the textRTF format) in front of my message... this coz heavy data transfer when many user online....

to solve the problem im now using DHTML edit control.. the data more smaller than TextRTF format.... but using this control have one critical error 'Automation error'..coz by DOM access failure which could terminate my program.

can i make the RTF interpret escape sequence (ASCII color) ??? or do you have any idea so i can use the RTF control in my program ???

thanx for ur time ... im looking forward ur reply.

bye..
