SAMPLE: RTFView.exe Rich Text Format Stream Viewer

ID: Q216346

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

RTFView.exe is a self-extracting file containing the source code for a Visual Basic 6.0 application (RTFVu32.exe) that allows a user to view a MAPI message body in Rich Text Format or in raw text.

Executing RTFVu32.exe launches a folder viewer that allows the body of each message in a given folder to be displayed in a Rich Text Edit control. If you are interested in knowing what the actual RTF stream looks like for any type of MAPI message, or if you would like to know how to display message text in a Rich Text Edit control, this file is for you.


MORE INFORMATION

If the user chooses raw text mode, the native stream that is generated by MAPI's Rich Text Formatting appears.

This application relies on Mapirtf.dll. This file must exist in your Windows\System (Win9x) or Windows\System32 (Win NT) directory or along the search path. If the application can't find this file, it will not work correctly.
