# How to: Extract the Text Content from a RichTextBox
|
|
This example shows how to extract the contents of a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox> as plain text.
|
|
|
|
## Describe a RichTextBox control
|
|
The following [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)] code describes a named <xref:System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox> control with simple content.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## Code example with RichTextBox as an argument
|
|
The following code implements a method that takes a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox> as an argument, and returns a string representing the plain text contents of the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox>.
|
|
|
|
The method creates a new <xref:System.Windows.Documents.TextRange> from the contents of the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox>, using the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument.ContentStart%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument.ContentEnd%2A> to indicate the range of the contents to extract. <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument.ContentStart%2A> and <xref:System.Windows.Documents.FlowDocument.ContentEnd%2A> properties each return a <xref:System.Windows.Documents.TextPointer>, and are accessible on the underlying FlowDocument that represents the contents of the <xref:System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox>. <xref:System.Windows.Documents.TextRange> provides a Text property, which returns the plain text portions of the <xref:System.Windows.Documents.TextRange> as a string.
