RichTextBox Printing
I have had an already written application thrown at me and don't have time to work on it and was wondering if someone would know a quick fix for this. I have a rich text box on a form
that it populate with a rtf file that was chosen on a previous screen. When the print button it click the contents of the box are printed out, but not how the rtf file was created (ie page breaks and font size). I was wondering what would be the best way to print this out the way that a rtf file would look if it were brought up in say MS Word

psmith789,
I found this answer in the MSDN Library and tried it. It does not work they way I want. I want to it print out the page breaks also, not just to the end of the page when I bring the file up in word it prints out correctly.
mcrider,
I am looking into your answer, but it will take more time than I wanted to spend on it, so it is going to take me awhile

mcrider,
This basically does the same thing as the previous answer. It does not include the page breaks the way that they are when I look at the document in word. It just prints a full page and then goes on to the next one,ignore the page break. The only thing that I can think of do to now is to have the application bring up word and have the user print it out in that.
Any thoughts

I think that may be your best bet - it is klunky, but then you get the entire Word engine to do the rendering and the printing.
Other option would be to look for a component to do it - especially if the formatting is not very complex.

and then print it with Word
OR use the following to print selected text in the control, or the whole thing if no text is selected.
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click()
' The CommonDialog control is named "dlgPrint."
dlgPrint.Flags = cdlPDReturnDC + cdlPDNoPageNums
If rtfData.SelLength = 0 Then
dlgPrint.Flags = dlgPrint.Flags + cdlPDAllPages
Else
dlgPrint.Flags = dlgPrint.Flags + cdlPDSelection
End If
dlgPrint.ShowPrinter
rtfData.SelPrint dlgPrint.hDC
End Sub
