Create rich text format document?? 1

[apex1x]

Would it be possible to take lines of text and a picture, and combine them to form a rtf document on the windows mobile platform via vb.net ?

On windows. I used Wordpad to create the document then looked at it in Notepad or Wordpad -t

Ok, I was thinking more along the lines of having code do this. Would it be possible?

Yeah. Look at the result. I started by writing a Wordpad document that only had
HEY in the FONT, size etc. that I needed and then wrote "code" that wrote a file with the same data.

Example perhaps?

 

[JohnYingling]

Open WORDPAD
Type HEY
SaveAs c:\document.txt
go to Start\Run
Type notepad c:\Document.rtf
Press Enter

You get the following
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 HEY\par
}
