I am trying to set/get the text of my RichTextBox, but Text is not among list of its properties when I want to get test.Text...

I am using code behind in C# (.net framework 3.5 SP1)

RichTextBox test = new RichTextBox();

cannot have test.Text(?)

Do you know how come it can be possible ?

There was a confusion between RichTextBox in System.Windows.Forms and in System.Windows.Control

I am using the one in the Control as I am using WPF. In there, there is no Text property, and in order to get a text, I should have used this line:

string myText = new TextRange(transcriberArea.Document.ContentStart, transcriberArea.Document.ContentEnd).Text;

thanks

"Extended WPF Toolkit" now provides a richtextbox with the Text property.

You can get or set the text in different formats (XAML, RTF and plaintext).

To my big surprise the RichtTextBox does not return the same value as was set !

Setting a string With:

SelectAll()
RichTextBox.Selection.Text = "AA"

And returning with:

SelectAll()
Return RichTextBox.Selection.Text

Returns "AA" with carriage-return

Also using:

Dim Selection = New TextRange(rtbRichTextBox.Document.ContentStart, rtbRichTextBox.Document.ContentEnd)
Selection.Text = "AA"

And returning with:

Dim Selection = New TextRange(rtbRichTextBox.Document.ContentStart, rtbRichTextBox.Document.ContentEnd)
Return Selection.Text

Does the same: "AA" with carriage-return

The RichTextBox does not return the value as set Very incorrect behaviour !!

Is solved (circumvented) this by:

Dim Selection = New TextRange(rtbRichTextBox.Document.ContentStart, rtbRichTextBox.Document.ContentEnd.GetPositionAtOffset(-1))
Return Selection.Text
