Not showing RTF header?

[KlinerDraken]

How do a load a RTF and show the header too?

Dim strFileName As String
With OpenFileDialog1
.ShowDialog()
strFileName = .FileName
End With
Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream(strFileName, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read)
richTextBoxEx1.LoadFile(fs, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)

don't load it as rtf
load it as plain text

don't load it as rtf
load it as plain text

RTF files have extra formatting in the file (kinda like html) that would show up if you load it as plain text.

it would look something like this:
