RichTextBox

[Tank]

I have RichTextBox in my dialog. Currently, I am loading the content from a
file. Is there anyway to have the text 'binded' to it during compile time ?
The idea is not to distribute the rtf file when installing the application.

RE: RichTextBox

Could you use a resource file?

Re: RichTextBox

Er.. how ? The problem is the text consists of a mix of bolded and
non-bolded text. Also some words use different font.

Re: RichTextBox

true but the underlying RTF is just tagged text....

{\rtf1\ansi\ans icpg1252\deff0\ deflang2057{\fo nttbl{\f0\fnil\ fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\ pard\f0\fs17 Here is the text\par
}

Re: RichTextBox

You can include the RTF file as an embedded resource and load it from
the assembly.

Add the file:
Project -> Add Existing Item

Right click on it in Solution Explorer and select:
Build Action -> Embedded Resource

Then use code like this to load it:

using System.Reflecti on;

Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( );
using (Stream stream =
assembly.GetMan ifestResourceSt ream("RTFtest.t estFile.rtf"))
{
richTextBox.Loa dFile(stream, RichTextBoxStre amType.RichText );
}

where 'RTFtest' is the default namespace for the project.

Re: RichTextBox

I have a rtf file "abc.rtf", namespace is MyNamespace.

assembly.GetMan ifestResourceSt ream("MyNamespa ce.abc.rtf")) gave me an error.

Is that the correct way to specify the resource name ?

Re: RichTextBox

Thanks. I got it. Please ignore my last post.

Re: RichTextBox

Thanks. It works fine that way.

Another question is :

How do I get the default namespace of the project programatically ? The idea
is not to hardcode the parameter "RTFtest.testFi le.rtf" so that I can do
something like this :

assembly.GetMan ifestResourceSt ream(GetDefault ProjNameSpace() +".testFile.rtf "
));

Thanks in advance.
