Table format in a RichTextBox

[Guest]

Hi!

Is there any posibility for me to present data in a richtextbox as a table?

I'm using VS .NET 2003 (.NET 1.1) for developing our windows application.
I wish to present data in RichText format because it's easy to copy and
paste into other documents or archives.

In my eager I posted my question before it was finnished....



It, is easy to create a table in a word-document. it is also easy copy and
paste this table with content into a rtf document. I've also tried to paste
this table into a RichTextBox ... with success.

I wish to create a table and present it in a RichTextBox programaticaly, as
the test above. Is this possible and how do I proceed? Any tips or help
will be appreciated.

Best regards

RTF appears to support tables, so it should work:

You might need to play with RTF control codes, however...

Using the link (from previous post) as reference material, perhaps
(after pasting into the RichTextBox) simply inspect the .Rtf property
of the RichTextBox; this should allow you to see which control-codes
to use. Now use that as a starting point to output your own
cotrol-codes (i.e. to a StringBuilder), and then set the .Rtf value of
the RichTextBox to show your very own table.

For inspecting the .Rtf, I recommend writing it to disk using
SaveFile(...) - don't try reading in the IDE as it is too long.
