Determine Bold,Underline and Italic Characters in rich text box control

Hi,

I'm currently doing a project using a rich text control in Visual Basic 6.
I need to output the data from a rich text control into a binary file, remembering what characters font styles have been used within the data (BOLD, UNDERLINE OR ITALIC).

Please help. :->

Hi

You can save the data in a RTF file and preserve all formatting attributes

RichTextBox1.SaveFile "C:\myfile.rtf"
To load the file again use

RichTextBox1.LoadFile "c:\myfile.rtf"

The Device that I output to only supports Binary format files.

For Example, if the rich text box contains the following data "Hello World I'm in hot water", and lets say all o characters are bold, the output file will look like this:

"HellESC<b>oESC<bo> WESC<b>oESC<bo>rld I'm in hESC<b>oESC<bo>t water"

I need to know what characters are Underline, Bold or Italic to that I can generate the data above.
