How to cast System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox.Text as String?

Question

I have this RichTextBox rtEvents from click-drag in form designer and I want to cast the rtEvents value into string.

This solution doesn't work, because I am not using System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox

I don't want to use .Windows.Controls.* because its difficult for me to design the form without click-drag.

Is there any other way or workaround for it?

If this is WPF, you are already using `System.Windows.Controls.RichTextBox` and the final part of your link should work (The part where a TextRange is extracted and then used for the Text property) — Steve, Feb 24 '16 at 07:41
What "*doesn't work*"? What have you tried so far? What does happen? — Sayse, Feb 24 '16 at 07:46
@un-lucky it works, after I added using System.Windows.Controls; .... :o — noobsee, Feb 24 '16 at 07:50
Questions seeking debugging help ("why isn't this code working?") must include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error and the shortest code necessary to reproduce it **in the question itself**. — Sayse, Feb 24 '16 at 07:53

Well, somehow I solved it (not sure if this is the good/perfect way),

By adding using System.Windows.Controls; but I have to add this extra System.Windows.Forms. for all of my objects. For example I have this function:

private void dDownWidth(Combobox cbname)
{
.....
}

Before I add : using System.Windows.Controls; it works like that, but after I add, it have to be like this:

private void dDownWidth(System.WIndows.Forms.Combobox cbname)
{
.....
}

I have to changes it like that for all the objects/parameters objects.
