RichTextBox control and TextBox control

Question

Distinguish between RichTextBox control and TextBox control.

Answer 1

The TextBox control is regarded as an input control that enables user to enter text in an application at the runtime. By default, it enables only a single line text; though, its property can be changed in order to admit the multiline text as well as scroll bar.

The RichTextBox control is same as the TextBox control with the difference that it permits the user to format its text which can be formatted in several ways, like, italic, bold, and underlined as well as its color can be changed along with the font. Your RichTextBox value can be saved to a RTF (Rich Text Format) file and load the value of RTF file to the RichTextBox control.
