Does anyone know of a good WYSIWYG editor for Windows forms. If I use a rich textbox, I need to handle pasting events, bold buttons, fonts etc, which is a nightmare.

I’m currently using the HTML control, suggested by many sites, but I have a large form, with many tabs. Since I have to load up to 8 HTML controls, loading the form takes too long.

Any help?

There is an example of what you are looking for here. This is a wysiwyg editor for Windows Forms apps that the author wrote after being unable to find a way to handle wysiwyg in Win Forms.

Hope it helps - no sense reinventing the wheel!

I developed one, which I documented at ModelText HTML Control for .NET.
