If you need the unformatted text, you can simply use the Text property. &nbsp;Otherwise, you would use the Rtf property to get the formatted text. &nbsp;<br />

The formatted text follows the rules established for the RTF (Rich Text Format) file type and has very specific, and simple, syntax rules - <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/office2000/aa140284(v=office.10)" rel="ugc">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/office2000/aa140284(v=office.10)</a><br />

<div>
Is it third-party RichTextBox?
</div>


<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
A &nbsp;RichTextBox is used to right justify numerals. This is the only reason to use it.<br />
<br />
The content to save cannot be directly accessed. Looking on the web examples are found that are complex and difficult to understand. Not realizing that there is some &quot;hoop-jumping&quot; required to get its content, the control was selected. Does anyone know how to do this simply and if not is there any advice that will make retrieving content easier to understand?<br />
<br />
Thank you for any advice you may offer.<br />

Retreiving Content from a RichTextBox

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
