VS C# 2008 richTextBox - limiting line length?

Gerald Morris

Hi to all,
I am using a richTextBox to input plain text and using streamWriter to write this text to a local file. Is it possible to use the sendKeys.send method to cause the {enter} keystroke to be activated after a certain number of keystrokes are entered per line? I wish to limit the line length to 45 keystrokes somehow in code.
Thanks to anyone offering any suggestions.

You could try using two richtextboxes , one set multiline = false, maxLength = 45
The second richtextbox set read only. Use enter key to move text from first richtextbox to second richtextbox
Don't forget to clear first richtextbox
