I am designing a win form for a soft copy of a book. The problem is that the book is a diglot (in two different languages) edition and I need to give 2 columns in a single textbox. Currently i have not provided any column but a radio button to select the language.

But I think it would be better to provide a single textbox with a column for each language. Also there is some text in the book which is available in only one language so I need to provide columns in certain parts of the text. The columns should refer to different rtf files. I tried with two different textboxes with synchronized scroll bars but it didn't work well. Creating columns in rtf file does not create columns in richtextbox.

Any ideas as to how I should proceed. Is there a third party tool available to provide me with such flexibility.

What went wrong with synchronized scroll? Solving that problem maybe be a lot easier to solve than doing than one box with two columns. – Scott Chamberlain May 26 '12 at 18:00
the problem is that I have some text which is in only one language. Synchronization in that case won't solve the problem.. :( – Tanuj Wadhwa May 26 '12 at 18:03
But having it in two columns does not solve that problem either. – Scott Chamberlain May 26 '12 at 18:10
i need two columns for some of its content. I need both two column and single column format on the same page.. – Tanuj Wadhwa May 26 '12 at 18:13
