rtf text saving

when i save my text file, i have to copy it from an rtftextbox to a regular text box. but when it gets saved, it reads

Code:

{\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 MS Sans Serif;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang1033\f0\fs17 &ACCESS RVO
\par &REL 203
\par &COMMENT none
\par DEF CHARLES()
\par 
\par END
\par }

how can i stop this from happening?

To copy the text of a RTFBox to a simple textbox do:

Text1.Text = RTF1.Text

That's all.

If you store the text of a RTFBox to a file you have to watch out for 'vFlags' in RTF-SaveFile:

RTF1.SaveFile "c:\MyFile", vFlags

vFlags = 1 ... saves as text
vFlags = 0 ... saves as RTFText

I was going to say the same thing. There's no reason to copy RTF text to a plain text box to save it "As plain text".

RTF1.SaveFile Path, rtfText

Quote:

vFlags = 1 ... saves as text
vFlags = 0 ... saves as RTFText

You have the 0 (plain text) and 1 (Rich text) right.
But rtfTEXT is const for plain text, or 1
rtfRTF is const for Rich Text.
