Saving text files along with formatting like bold, size, etc

[aewarnick]

Is it possible that I could display font from the same textbox or string in different ways. Some of the string being size 14 some being bold, italic. . .

I believe the RichTextBox class along with its SaveFile and LoadFile methods should work quite well for that, if I understand you correctly.

I can't store the formatting along with the text in a string?

 

[Derek Stone]

You can store the text along with its formatting in string like so:

Dim sText As String = RichTextBox1.Rtf

string sText = RichTextBox1.Rtf;

When I display Rtf in a message box all I see is the rich text formatting not the actual formatted text.

You won't get a messagebox showing rich text. That is what a Rich Textbox is for.
