RichTextBox problem

[re_animate]

hey guys noob here,
ive got VB.net 2005
ok well i have a text editor i want to make, a few things i want to ask

Im using a rich text box for the main typing box and the problem is when i save it as a .txt file it ends up all full of cubes and randoms stuff, how can i make it save as a normal text file?

im making it a windows with the new open and save thing at the top as full screen....... just see this...

im trying to make a windows pop up inside it allowing me to edit code and move the window but not let the window get out of the screen... u know like in photoshop or soundforge how you can open multiple projects at a time..... yea well how do i do that

and las but not least... how do i use the save dialog and load dialog
i want the Richtextbox to be saved as a txt file and be able to load a txt and display it.....

yea how do i do that....

THe main window needs to have its .IsMdiContainer set to TRUE
Each child window must, before being shown, but after being created, have its .MdiParent property set = to the main form:

myMainForm.IsMdiContainer = true
Dim x as new ChildForm
x.MdiParent = myMainForm
x.Show()

and las but not least... how do i use the save dialog and load dialog
i want the Richtextbox to be saved as a txt file and be able to load a txt and display it.....

your post indicates that you already know how to save a file, all you need is to know how to use the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog. Did you consider reading the documentation?

Use the RichTextBox methods Loadfile and Savefile, they support the FileType parameter that can be set to for example Rich Text and Plain Text.
