Changing Richtextbox Text Colors?
Dec 21, 2009
It's purpose is as follows:It basically is a "check list" for installed program's, and files. I image machines on a daily basis, and me making this application will save me hours, and hours of time.The basics:My program basically has 2 forms. 1st form, will be tabbed with "clients" or, different model of PC's. Each tab will have it's own checklist. I know how to pull external files already, though, that's not my issue.Basically, when I click "check list" button, it searches for an "adobe", and "Labtech" Directory. If it exists, it will throw the result into form2.richtextbox as Adobe is installed, or Adobe is not installed. Also, Checks if the second program directory is there, and then imports the info into form2.richtextbox on a seperate line. My question is, how do I change the color of the text per line?I.e. make Adobe is installed turn GREEN, and Adobe is not installed turn RED ect.
Form2.Show()
Form2.Show()
If Directory.Exists("C:\Program Files\ATI") Then

How do you make the word you typed in the Rich Text Box change only the words color? Example:
Example Text
* Hello World
Bye World *
Some more Example text I tried this:
If RichTextBox1.Text = "Hello World" Then
RichTextBox1.ForeColor = Color.Blue
End If
But it changed the WHOLE textbox forecolor to blue. I don't want that, just for the word.

I have an ap that requires the user to fill in information in certain areas in a richtext box. The areas that the user needs to complete is colored blue. To give the user some cue that input is required, I would like to change the mouse pointer when the pointer moves over blue text in the rtb.

I'm searching for a way to change the font size of selected text in a RichTextBox (rtf) having different font families (e.g. Arial and MS SansSerif) and font styles (underline, bold...) using the FontDialog, but without changing the families and styles. The following code resets all the font attributes, which is not what I want:

I'm using VS 2005 and I've created an Excel spreadsheet and written a lot of data. I've also modified some of the cell interior colors via commands like this:
objWorksheet.Cells._Default(Bline + 2 + i, 1).Interior.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.White)
But what I am finding is that the borders are getting wiped out.

I'm trying to figure out how to change the font in a RichTextBox without having to select the text I want to change first. I know I can select text and change it like this:
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("working")
Dim tfont As New Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Regular)
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = tfont
What I want to do is set a font and then any text added to the richtextbox will use that font. Then I want to set another font and all text after that point will use that font and so on. I'm adding text to the RichTextBox with code, but I'd eventually like to add a RichTexBox to an app where the user enters the text and can change fonts like a word processor.What I'm try to accomplish would go something like this:
' Set the font for the header here
rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mHeader & vbCrLf
'Set the font for the body here
rtbPrint.Text = rtbPrint.Text & mBody & vbCrLf

How would I go about changing the actual shape of the RichTextBox caret?
I have tried using the CreateCaret and ShowCaret API calls, but they only seem to work with normal text boxes. Is there any way to modify them so they work with RichTextBoxes?

I have a richtextbox with multiple colored text in it. When I change the font, the color table is removed and everything changes to the default fore color. Anyone know of a why to preserve the color table and formatting when changing the font? I know I could build the RTF manually, but I really want to avoid that if possible.

I am trying to find a way in VB using Visual Studio 2005 to have two different colored text on the same line of a DataGridView using the cell painting event
I am trying to accomplish the following.
ABC QRS
DCR BBL
Where all letter B's are Blue and all Letter R's are Red.
I have searched and found someone requesting the same. They had an example of how to do this on two different lines within the same cell but not on one line.
I don't understand the code well enough to make the change and several people that responded gave the code equivelant in C# instead of VB
The Code that they had was as follows:
If e.ColumnIndex = 0 AndAlso e.RowIndex > -1 Then
If e.Value IsNot Nothing Then
Dim lines As String() = e.Value.ToString().Split(ControlChars.Lf)
[Code].....

I am using vb.net in my project. I have a datagridview bounded to a datatable m_table which has a column called Price_Change with decimal values. I want to display text in datagridview in green if price change>0 and red otherwise. I cannot simply use the following formatting because the bounded data table m_table is constructed in my code, not directly through data base.
DataGridView.Rows(0)Cells(0).Style.ForeColor=COLOR.BLACK
Code looks like
Dim rowText As DataRow = m_table.NewRow
rowText("Price Change")=10.00 'assign values to price change column
' there is no color formating for data table I wonder if cellformatting event can be used for this purpose. Would it slow down the load of datagridview? [URL]

how to change fonts/colors/sizes and stuff from line to line inside of a richtextbox. Because whenever I try, a beginner, I always make the entire richtextbox change colors/fonts/sizes etc, rather than just a single line. So mainly... i just need to know how to change primarily colors for my chatbot guy and the user. :"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." Aristotle

This is a WinForms Application in VB. In my application I am trying to make it easier for the user to pick out items in a list quickly based on the items text color.. So I am trying to assign the color to each item using a select case statement as below... The problem is that I am getting an error saying "Public member 'Attributes' on type 'String' not found." VB flags the lines with the Attribute.Add param with this error.. Here is the code that I currently have...
For Each u In _units
_counter += 1
u_lookupNumber_box.Items.Add((Convert.ToString(u.UnitId)) + " - " + (Convert.ToString(u.perMonthCost)))
[Code].....
I did notice that when I did the .attributes part when I hit "." and typed "att" it did not appear in the intelisense box in vb.. Which makes me think I need to assign the name "attributes" somehow to the dropdownbox first.. It should be noted that u_lookupNumber_box is the name of the drop down box on my form..

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
