RichTextBox and C # special characters
I need to put RTF formatted text in a richtextbox, I am trying to put it with a parameter richtextbox.rtf = TextString
, but the problem is that the string has special characters and the richtextbox does not display the whole string correctly. The line and code I'm using:
String (TextString):
╔═══This is only an example, the special characters may change═══╗
C # code:
String TextString = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(TextBytes);
String TextRTF = @"{\rtf1\ansi " + TextString + "}";
richtextbox1.Rtf = TextRTF;
With this code richtextbox show "+ --- This is just an example, special characters can change --- +", and in some cases show "??????".
How can I solve this problem? if i change \rtf1\ansi
to \rtf1\utf-8
i don't see the change.

You can simply use the property Text
:
richTextBox1.Text = "╔═══This is only an example, the special characters may change═══╗";
If you want to use the property RTF
: Take a look at this question: How to output a Unicode string to RTF (using C #)
You need to use something like this to convert special characters to rtf format:
static string GetRtfUnicodeEscapedString(string s)
{
var sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var c in s)
{
if(c == '\\' || c == '{' || c == '}')
sb.Append(@"\" + c);
else if (c <= 0x7f)
sb.Append(c);
else
sb.Append("\\u" + Convert.ToUInt32(c) + "?");
}
return sb.ToString();
}
Then use:
richtextbox1.Rtf = GetRtfUnicodeEscapedString(TextString);
