Till now, I have made a pretty advanced rich text editor. However, is there any possible way with which I can make the Richtextbox multi-paged? ( sort of like Microsoft Word ).

PS: I am using a custom Richtextbox to support printing.

Thanks!

What I have tried:

I tried using panels to white out some spaces at equal distances from each other, but it sort of didn't work.

'but it sort of didn't work.'
Probably a problem in your secret code.

It's More of a joke than Code :

Private Sub CreateTB(loc As Integer)
Dim NewTB As New Panel
NewTB = New Panel
NewTB.Name = "tbNew" & loc.ToString
NewTB.Size = New Size(RichTextBox1.Width, 20)
NewTB.Location = New Point(RichTextBox1.Location.X, RichTextBox1.Height * loc)
NewTB.Visible = True
Controls.Add(NewTB)
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim a As Integer = 1
Do Until a = RichTextBox1.Height / 10
CreateTB(a)
a += 1
Loop
End Sub

It was just meant to produce an illusory effect. Even it doesn't work

No. The standard RichTextBox control is really very basic - there is no way to "extend" it to multiple pages. It may be that you can find a "better" rich text box - try Telerik and DevExpress, they both have extended RTB's though I haven't tried them.

The other alternative is to write your own code instead of using an off the shelf component, but that's a lot of work.
