The Rich Text Box Application: A Menu
In this lesson we will create an application similar to notepad, but we will use a RichTextBox
so that you can format the text to make it bold, italics, etc. The file type that we will create is rtf.
- Start a new Visual Basic application and name it MyNotes.
- Add a RichTextBox to the form. It will be called RichTextBox1 and we will leave it at that.
- Add a MenuStrip
to the form. The MenuStrip will be at the top of the form and shown under the form.

- Click the arrow at the top right of the menu strip and select Insert Standard Items:

- Click on File to see what was added to the menu:

- Click Save All
at this point and run the program to see what we have so far.
