Hi, im working on a notepad program. Im using a rich text box, and wanna know how to save .txt formats The problem is that when i save rich text files (.rtf) it works fine but when i save text files as (.txt) it shows some weird stuff like this:
=Save as RTF FILE TYPE=
Hi this is a test!
--------------------------------------------------
=Save as Txt file type=
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}}

The weird format you are seeing is the actual RTF format that the RichTextBox uses to display the formatted text.
Assuming you are using the SaveFile() method of the RichTextBox class, set RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText or RichTextBoxStreamType.UnicodePlainText (if your text contains Unicode chars) as the second argument to your call right after your destination file path or stream to save it as raw text.

didnt work =(
i need it to do this: if the text file is being saved in .rtf format, then save it with fonts. else, save as plain text file.
