How to print formatted text - (RTF)

[Tim]

Hi,

I have created a print routing that works great for plain text. I have
some text in Rich Text format that I would like to print as it appears
with its formatting.

Does anyone know how to do this? Has someone invented a rich text parser?

I am thinking right now that to do this the code would have to parse the
rich text and create DrawString code based on what it found which I can
then pass to the Graphics object. Is this correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The method I'd suggest is you stuff the RTF into an RichTextBox control
and print that. (The RichTextBox need not be attached to a form). Here's
an article from MSDN which describes (and provided code) to print a
RichTextBox...
