Printing contents of an RichTextbox

[Urs Vogel]

Hi



When printing coloured text from a RichTextbox, it turns out to be a quite
and timeconsuming job to position all differently coloured strings on the
Page with DrawString(). Is there a better method of achieving this, or are
there samples somewhere? Couldn't find anything on MSDN.



Thanks, Urs

Try this

I've found it works ok but if you want to overlay the output on a bitmap you
have to also use 'sendmessage' to make the richtextbox transparent. With a
little work on the example code it doesn't even need to be onscreen.

which is better formatted.
