Adding Colored Text To RichTextBox?
Jan 25, 2010
I don't know how to add colored text to a richtextbox.
To make already existing text colored, I have tried things like:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("colored word")
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Blue
RichTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0
..so it will change the color of the found word.
The problem is, when the "colored word" exists multiple times in the textbox, it will never change theirs color. It only searches for the first "colored word" and it wont affect the others.
It would be even better when someone knows how to directly add colored text instead of changing it when it's added.

What I'm struggling with a little though is how to do the comments.
lets say I have:

my regex does:
Code:
I can assume that if I see a -- then the rest of the line is green..
I have

i'm adding an text to my RichTextBox by using a button. what i need to do is to add the text and Focus the cursor at the end of the text in the RichTextBox.
for example, i use this code:
richRationale.Text &= Environment.NewLine & GV.index.ToString() + ". "
richRationale.Focus()
but the second command will focus the cursor at the beginning of the RichTextBox.

I am opening an exe that launches in a hidden cmd window, and redirecting the text to a RichTextBox on a form. The problem is that the status messages in the cmd window are in color, but the redirected text in the RichTextBox has no color information and show as black on white. However, all the status messages in the cmd window have headers that could be parsed in some way so I can add color to them for my RichTextbox. For example, a message in the cmd window might read: [Warning] No settings file was found, using default values instead. This message is in Yellow in the cmd window.

I am currently working on my own "Colored textbox control" which inherits from the RichTextBox. What does the "Lines" property do? Does it generate the return array internally, or is it just passing back an array that is internally stored?
[Code]...
Can I skip the generation of "lines" and just use Me.Lines(i) etc. everywhere?The reason I ask is that I want to minimize the lag of the control, and I have to read all or a range of lines fairly commonly.

I am trying to wrap my head around getting some blinking colored text and lasting for 3 seconds on the screen. I'm creating a game where you hit submit and if the answer is correct a label with popup and blink 3 different colors for about 3 seconds also a groupbox background color change. I have found many different ways on here how to do the blinking text. I just can't figure out how to do it for 3 seconds and then disappear. Here's a general idea of the code

I've out an output rich text box called TbxOutput, and I have many different tbxoutput.appendtext("") methods in my program.I don't really know much about how to set rich text box colors, and what I specifically need is for a simple line of code that i can plug in before the tbxoutput.appendtext("" + vbnewline) methods to make that particular line output text of a different color.
For example, when my program normally outputs messages it does it in black, and i want it to remain that way by default. But when it outputs an error message, I want that particular message

So, I'm trying to make a RichTextBox which makes seperate words colored as you type them (like in Visual Studio itself ).The problem is, it's absolutely not working as I want and absolutely not the same as in Visual Studio.It's constantly running over the code each 500 milliseconds (by a timer), bugging the focus and selecting the words you want to be colored quickly.
Also, when you have something selected in the textbox,it constantly unselects when it runs over the code again (tried to fix that, but failed).So, can please someone improve this code (a lot, it's coded really bad ) so the user doesn't notice the words are getting colored?I put the words into an array with a different array containing the colors of the string array on the same index (Sorry for my "not so good" english.. But I'm sure you understand it ).

I need to constantly display large amounts of colored text in WPF or Silverlight, and I need the user to percieve it as showing up instantly.
Currently I'm doing this using a canvas and textblocks, one textblock per 80-character line, with multiple runs to a textblock to handle the different colors. There can often be 20+ runs to a line.
In a 45x80 grid of text, this gets a framerate of about 12 in Silverlight, which is sluggish. Oddly enough, it's even slower in WPF... I can only speculate that this has something to do with my dev machine's lousy video card. Maybe it's trying to hardware accelerate and actually slowing down because of it?

This works fine and dandy as long as I use 8 pt font, but when I change the font to 20 I get the following: How can I get the list box to display colored text in a large font?

For the past 2-3 weeks, I've been on VB Express working on different word processors, working myself up from the level of the Windows Notepad to Wordpad, and eventually (hopefully) something as good as OpenOffice.org Writer or Microsoft Word.I'm currently stuck on something that I can't quite figure out. My question is basically this, "How do you add subscript and superscript characters (not just the few numbers in the character map) to a richtextbox control?!" I'd be very grateful to anyone who could provide me with some help in this area.

My application appends incoming report data onto a RichTextbox control. As more text arrives from an external device, the thumb initially fills the trough and as times goes on, the thumb diminishes in size. This is expected behavior.A modal dialog box allows the user to cancel the file download but since it's modal, the user can't scroll down to see what the last text that was appended.Is there a property/event/method that will show the most recent/last text in the RichTextBox control, rather than the initial text as I have it displayed now? The user would be able to see the text drawn real time without having to use the thumb to accomplish

I was wondering if there's anyway to color stuff in a textbox? example: I have a big textbox and if I type hi in that textbox I want that text to become grey, and if I type bye I want the text to become red, any ideas?
btw, I took your advice from my latest thread and installed a stable version of 2005
I did some thinking and come up with the idea "if textbox1.text ="hej" then" set a color but then I realized the whole text would become to coded text, hmm..

I have a picture that is the map of a circuit [URL]. Now I want a Square to follow that circuit. I have tried some things but I couldn't get it right. How would you start? And how do you access the color values of the "line" to follow it with the square? Or is that even the wrong way to do it?

I have two listboxes. One for unselected bound to a datareader and one for selected. It can move all, some back and forth. I have the move buttons in an update panel and generate a report on a button click. I have this working fine. What I need to do now is color the items red or blue based on a third value from the datareader. Then add buttons to move all red >> / << or all blue >> / << Unfortunately, I can't post the code. I'm using VB.Net 2.0.
