winsock, richtext

[carolyn]

did you include the formatting chars when you send the text?

[crptcblade]

probably not, could you please explain?

[carolyn]

Have you worked with very primitive word editors where you have to insert codes to format your text? eg the tags in HTML codes, if you have written HTML without the help of fancy GUI WYSIWIG tools.

So, instead of sending the just the text of the rich text box, you should include the text with formatting codes. Check TextRTF property.

I haven't really worked with sending/receiving formatted text in rich text boxes, so I'm not sure about this...

Please let me know if this works.

not getting anywhere yet, can someone go a little more in depth with help?

[crptcblade]

Ok calm down all you have to do is change any references to the RTB.Text to RTB.TextRTF this will include all the original formating.

So unless you want to post some code then instead of sending RTB.text as a string through winsock to the client send the RTB.TextRTF and on the receiving end have them accept it as RTB.TextRTF.
