HOw do i read from a text file into a text box?

[Morpheus]

Hello,
If i have a text box (Or RTf box as the case may be) how do i go about reading the contents of a either *.rtf or *.txt file on form initialisation? I want the output to appear in the txtbox on my form.

Any ideas anyone?

regards

throw a microsoft RichTextBox control on your form and add this code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
RichTextBox1.LoadFile MYFILE, Rtf
End Sub

Thanks for the tip, however for some reason this line

rtbMotd.LoadFile c:\test.txt, Rtf

returns an error.


Tips?

You need to put quotes round the file path.

Ur a legend. thankyou.

For the flags:

rtfRTF - RichTextBox format
rtfText - regular text format

RichTextBox1.LoadFile MYFILE, rtfRTF

The flag Jop gave is wrong .
