Hi experts,

Let me explain my problem:
Imagine the MS-WORD(it contains many pages)
ok, now I want to create a windows form like this! I mean my form should contains many "Separate" pages,
So, how could I create this pages (page 1, page 2, page 3, ..., page 200, .. page 500 ! )?

Please note that my pages should have this abilitys:

1.The pages should contain picture in addition of text!( but how? )
for example it should have this possibility that I copy and paste text (include pictures) from MS-WORD document to my form pages in runtime, or any way else !

2.The user should be able to SAVE and LOAD his/her own document to a file such as .rtf ! ( but how? )
I mean save all his pages into one file ! ( like MS-WORD ! )

........
Now how could I solve my problem?
Is it possible to use RichTextBox as many as pages? I mean a RichTextBox per a page !
Is there any efficient way for it? (because of the amount of pages. for example 400 pages !)
I'll be glad for your help. i realy need it!
Thanks alot and excuse my bad english.

Hello Mohamad

1. you can use some user controls. For example Dev Express XtraRichEdit. See it's Demo
2. Ms Word saves all pages to separated files. If you want to save data of a page in it's own file, (like ms word) have a property for your page class

C#

private string myFilePath;
public string FilePath 
{
   get
   {
      return myFilePath;
   } 
   set
   {
      myFilePath = value;
      Load(myFilePath);
   }
}

private void Save()
{
   //Saving code and using FilePath
}

After loading a new file, create a new instance of your page and initialize it's property.

for example:

C#

private void Load(string myPath)
{ 
  if (!System.IO.File.Exists(myPath))
      return;

  if(!IsBlank(this))
   {         
      WordPage wordPage = new WordPage();      
      wordPage.FilePath = myPath;
      this.FilePath = string.Empty();
      wordPage.Show();
      return;
   }

   //Loading code  
}

private bool IsBlank(WordPage wordPage)
{
   //code for checking if this page is a blank page or not!
}

And you can use a static Dictinary to prevent loading a file in 2 Windows.

C#

public static Dictionary<string, WordPage> dictionary = new Dictionary<string. WordPage>();

And:

C#

if(dictionay.ContainsKey("C:\\MyFile.txt"))
{
  //Requiered code ...

   return;
}

And in FormClosed event:

C#

private void myWordPage_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
    dictionay.Remove(this.FilePath);
}

I hope it will help you.
