everyone! I've been at this for a while, and I'm not sure how this issue can be resolved:I'm working on a project in VB.Net, and I have a form with a rich text box. I have a groupbox with 4 radio buttons inside that are intended to change the font color of the text. Coincidentally, I have to repeat this same functionality for a 2nd set of radio buttons that would change the text font family.
At any rate what I've only been able to do is the following to successfully change the font color of whatever text I highlight in the rich text box:
Private Sub rbtnBlack_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnBlack.CheckedChanged
rtbxTextEditor.SelectionColor = Color.Black
End Sub
Private Sub rbtnRed_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles rbtnRed.CheckedChanged

Is there a way that I could write a sub (I'm assuming I would use a sub, since I don't think I need to return anything, thus eliminating the use of a function) that would handle the action of changing the selected text color in the rich text box without having to use a separate sub for each radio button? Mind you, per my teacher's specs, she doesn't use a button handler for any of this.
is it possible to make first 60 characters in a rich text box a different color than the remaining text?
View 25 RepliesI'm studying chemistry and wanted to make a quick app for studying the periodic table. What I have is 36 text boxes. I have a structure that can hold each of the 36 element's info, and an array with 36 instances of the structure.
Example:
Dim Elements(37) As Element
Structure Element
Dim strSymbol As String
Dim strElementName As String
Dim strNumber As String
[Code] .....
When I mess with it, sometime the text boxes will fill in, but randomly and the comparison between the input text and the info stored in the data structure never compare correctly. 90% of the time the structure data is showing a null.
