The functionality that I wish to provide is to create an Active X Dll (running on server-side and there is no user interface involved) that creates a .rtf file and prints it. Since it is a dll, the richtext control cannot be used here. And i do not want to use Word Automation. I tried the windows api for printing the rtf file, but the output had all RTF control information along with the actual text.

Is there a dll or api functions available for interpreting the rtf file before printing? Can the riched32.dll be used for this purpose or does it require a control to be created for it? Is there any way of finding the functions that can be called from the dll.
