| pathname | Required. A string expression defining the path and filename of the file to receive the contents of the control. |
| filetype | Optional. An integer or constant that specifies the type of file loaded, as described in Settings. |
Settings
The settings for filetype are:
| Constant | Value | Description |
| rtfRTF | 0 | (Default) RTF. The RichTextBox control saves its contents as an .rtf file. |
| rtfText | 1 | Text. The RichTextBox control saves its contents as a text file. |

You can also use the Write function in Visual Basic and the TextRTF and SelRTF properties of the RichTextBox control to write .rtf files. For example, you can save the highlighted contents of a RichTextBox control to an .rtf file as follows:
Open "mytext.rtf" For Output As 1
Print #1, RichTextBox1.SelRTF
