Set RTF text into WPF RichTextBox control

Question

I have this RTF text:

{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\deff0\\deflang1033{\\fonttbl{\\f0\\fnil\\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\\colortbl ;\\red0\\green0\\blue0;\\red255\\green0\         


        

Answer 1

Do you really have to start with a string?

One method to load RTF is this:

rtfBox.Selection.Load(myStream, DataFormats.Rtf);

You probably should call SelectAll() before that if you want to replace existing text.

So, worst case, you'll have to write your string to a MemoryStream and then feed that stream to the Load() method. Don't forget to Position=0 in between.

But I'm waiting to see somebody to come up with something more elegant.
