Thanks in advance for the people who can help me.
Re: How to make an html preview on using textbox or richtextbox
If you are saying you actually want to view the HTML as it would appear in Internet Explorer on the third tab then use a webbrowser control for the HTML Preview tab.
When the user changes tabs away from the HTML source tab, save the contents of the text box containing the source and then when the HTML preview tab is activated use the webbrowser.Navigate method to load it.
Re: How to make an html preview on using textbox or richtextbox
I don't really understand what the difference between the first and second tab is supposed to be. HTML code is just text, after all.
Are you saying that you want syntax highlighting in that second tab?
As for the third tab, you would just use a WebBrowser and assign your HTML code to its DocumentText property.

About for that jm, hmmmp..I think there is no need for that, maybe I will just remove that tab. What really I want is that a user will encode an html format then it can preview as what the browser will shows. Thank you jm for reminding me that. Have a nice day.

No need for saving and navigating. As I said, just assign the HTML code directly to the DocumentText property.
Re: How to make an html preview on using textbox or richtextbox
NB - jmcilhinney is right that you can load the text directly without having to save it to a file, however I guess you will want to save the file at some point anyway so its up to you which way to do it.
Re: How to make an html preview on using textbox or richtextbox
Yeah...jm is exactly right..I am working with it right now but could you site some example jm on how to set the document directly to html? Thanks again jm and also to you paul..
