How can I change font color of a string. I set the fore color properties of the label holding the string but seems that only works when the string is displayed in that label. Is there a way of setting the color of a string itself such that it displays any where with that color by default. I am actually sending this string as email but wanted to format it in a way that it will display differently however it doesn't.
View 1 RepliesI have a project im working on and im trying to change the font color of a specific string basically how vb does while your coding. (eg if i type dim it turns blue).I want to do this with a textbox in a vb application to show a topic of interest. It needs to be dynamic so when a user types it only changes the color of the specified string. I have tried
If TextBox2.Text.Contains("dim") Then
TextBox2.ForeColor = Color.Red
End If
but this changes all the text in the textbox to the color.
I would like to be able to change colors of certain items in a richtextbox when they are typed for example the word "the" in this small example.The words would change to the color for the word.

View 9 RepliesI am parsing a file that has a section between the separators that is 40 characters long. I need to split this into 20 separate strings which will each represent a data column. While already in a FOR statement, I think it would be best to also use something like
items(x + 4)
For y As Integer = 0 To items.GetUpperBound(0) Step 20
RR(y) = ' CHAR 1-2, then 3-4, then 5-6, then etc.
LR(y) = ' CHAR 21-22, then 23-24, then 25-26, then etc.
Next
E.g. C67FCBC67FBCB7BCCBC6CB7FD0CB7FBCBCBCC6CB
What these are is the values of a hearing test result starting with the Right Ear 1-20 and Left Ear 21-40. Before writing it to the DataTable I will then send it through a function to translate it to decimal like Translate(LR(y)) or something like that.

I am making a game similar to Final Fantasy (anyone ever heard of it?), and I want there to be gauge like ATB (Active Time Battle), like there were in the later games. The ATB gauge is a gauge that controls when a character can act, whether it be attacking an enemy, or healing. The gauge is only used in battle. So can I change the color of a progress bar's...progress? The green part that's fill(ing)? Because the ForeColor property doesn't change that color.
