RichTextBox Control (Windows Forms)
The Windows Forms RichTextBox control is used for displaying, entering, and manipulating text with formatting. The RichTextBox control does everything the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox control does, but it can also display fonts, colors, and links; load text and embedded images from a file; undo and redo editing operations; and find specified characters. The RichTextBox control is typically used to provide text manipulation and display features similar to word processing applications such as Microsoft Word. Like the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox control, the RichTextBox control can display scroll bars; but unlike the xref:System.Windows.Forms.TextBox control, it displays both horizontal and vertical scrollbars by default and has additional scrollbar settings.
