We have a legacy system that generates RTF using some native RTF controls. The RTF generated by this application is compatible with MS wordpad. But seems that the RadRichTextBox is not compatible. The problem is when we use bullets.

Consider we create an RTF with bullets, using legacy -

   * Legacy Bullet 1
   * Legacy Bullet 2
   * Legacy Bullet 3

Then, this is the RTF that is generated -

{\rtf1\fbidis\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Segoe UI;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset0 Arial;}{\f2\fnil\fcharset2 Symbol;}}

{\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\ltrpar\cf1\lang1033\f0\fs22\par
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\ltrpar\fi-200\li200\tx360 Legacy Bullet 1\par
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\ltrpar\fi-200\li200\tx360\tx360 Legacy Bullet 2\par
\pard{\pntext\f2\'B7\tab}{\*\pn\pnlvlblt\pnf2\pnindent0{\pntxtb\'B7}}\ltrpar\fi-200\li200\tx360\tx360\tx360 Legacy Bullet 3\par
\pard\ltrpar\tx360\tx360\tx360\par
\f1\par
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, if we open this RTF in Wordpad, then the bullets are displayed correctly.

But the bullets are not displayed when we bind the RTF to RadRichTextBox.

It displays something like this -

Legacy Bullet 1
Legacy Bullet 2
Legacy Bullet 3

And after binding the original RTF, if we now try to get the RTF this is how it looks like - 

{\rtf\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0 Verdana;}{\f1 Segoe UI;}{\f2 Arial;}}{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0 ;;}{\*\defchp\ltrch\f0\fs24\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone}{\*\defpap\sl276\slmult1\sa180}{\stylesheet{\s0\sqformat\spriority0\ltrch\f0\fs24\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone\sl276\slmult1 Normal;}{\*\ts2\tsrowd\spriority59\trbrdrt\brdrnone\trbrdrb\brdrnone\trbrdrl\brdrnone\trbrdrr\brdrnone\trbrdrh\brdrnone\trbrdrv\brdrnone\trgaph0\clpadft3\clpadt0\clpadfr3\clpadr0\clpadfl3\clpadl0\clpadfb3\clpadb0\tsvertalt\ltrch\f0\fs24\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone\sl276\slmult1 Table Normal;}}\nouicompat\viewkind4\paperw12240\paperh15840\margl1425\margr1425\margt1425\margb1425\deftab720\sectd\pgwsxn12240\pghsxn15840\marglsxn1425\margrsxn1425\margtsxn1425\margbsxn1425\headery720\footery720\pard\s0\ltrpar\sl240\slmult1{\ltrch\f1\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone\par}\pard\s0\ltrpar\tx360\sl240\slmult1\li200\lin200\fi-200{\ltrch\f1\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone Legacy Bullet 1}{\ltrch\f1\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone\par}\pard\s0\ltrpar\tx360\sl240\slmult1\li200\lin200\fi-200{\ltrch\f1\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone Legacy Bullet 2}{\ltrch\f1\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone\par}\pard\s0\ltrpar\tx360\sl240\slmult1\li200\lin200\fi-200{\ltrch\f1\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone Legacy Bullet 3}{\ltrch\f1\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone\par}\pard\s0\ltrpar\tx360\sl240\slmult1{\ltrch\f1\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone\par}\pard\s0\ltrpar\tx360\sl240\slmult1{\ltrch\f2\fs22\i0\b0\strike0\cf0\cb1\highlight1\ulc0\ulnone\par}}
