Richtextbox -> ListBox

[rstum2005]

I have a problem when I try to copy the richtextbox text to the items in a listbox. Is there a way to stop it from placing the entire richtextbox text as 1 item. below is an example of what I mean.

I would suggest you find all instances of the "Return Character" in your RTF. Then break it up into individual chunks to add to your listbox.

public void ParseRTF(string myRTF)
{

while (myRTF.Length > 0)
{
//Find the index of the RTF Return Character
int index = myRTF.IndexOf("\r\n");
//Extract the RTF to that point
string temp = myRTF.Substring(0, index);
//Trim the extracted part of the RTF
myRTF = myRTF.Substring(index, myRTF.Length - index);

//Add the item to your list box
listBox1.Items.Add(temp);
}
}

Something to that effect.

I created a new project and tried this and for some reason it does not work.

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
String myRTF = richTextBox1.Rtf;
while (myRTF.Length > 0)
{
//Find the index of the RTF Return Character
int index = myRTF.IndexOf("\r\n");
//Extract the RTF to that point
string temp = myRTF.Substring(0, index);
//Trim the extracted part of the RTF
myRTF = myRTF.Substring(index, myRTF.Length - index);
//Add the item to your list box
listBox1.Items.Add(temp);
}
}

I wrote that code in my head - but the general idea should be there.

You will need to find the RTF return characters. Typically "\r\n" is the return character but RTF may be different.
