I need to paste an RTF non-ANSI string into a RichTextBox

[**Developer**]

I need to paste an RTF non-ANSI string into a RichTextBox.

I know how to do that if the string were all ANSI characters.

But the text contains Unicode characters that have no ANSI equivalent. I
don't know how to include them.

Can you help?



Thanks

You can include them just fine. It just might be that the font doesn't
support them.

Why not use a font that supports those characters?

Or are you trying to strip these characters?

 

[**Developer**]

Private Sub DisplayCulture(ByVal Code As String)

Dim CI As CultureInfo = New CultureInfo(Code, False)

Dim MyRI1 As New RegionInfo(CI.LCID)

---snip

mStr = MyRI1.CurrencySymbol & ControlChars.Tab & "Currency symbol"



I do the above for say, Arabic, and then drawn mStr on a picturebox and copy
mStr to the clipboard.

The string mStr displays OK on the picture box but pasting from the
clipboard into a RichTextBox or into Word show ? where Arabic characters
were.

Got any idea what is going on?

I assumed the problem is converting these symbols to RTF which is all ANSI
is needed.

It looks like the font you are using in your rich text box doesn't
support the characters that you are trying to insert. You say you draw it
on a picturebox. Is the font you use to render the image on the picturebox
the same font that the characters are being written in on the rich text box?
