I am trying to make the application similar to Notepad++. Notepad++ colours text depending on what type they are, eg. HTML, PHP, CSS, Java, ect.
I just wondered if somebody might be able to help with this? I have no clue where to start, but I have an idea of how it would happen.

View 2 RepliesI've just finished creating a basic login system which enables you to create an account and select either a "Student" or "Teacher" account.
Once the account is created it's stored in an Access 2007 database. The field the account type gets stored in is called AccountType. When users log in with their unique username and password I want the program to take them to a different form depending on whether they have a student or teacher account.
To .NET after getting tired of using VB6 due to the lack of functionality. I'm trying to create a log on method for a system which will involve users selecting a colour from a paint panel and then placing/drawing the colour in 1 or more tiles of a grid, basically a 3x3 grid in which for example they selected the blue colour and drew in the top left tile and the bottom left tile. The logon is selecting the correct colour and placing the colour in the appropriate tile. What i want them to be able to do is place even a single pixel of colour so it has a high accuracy. So far i have a timer which loops from the width of the grid to the height of the grid.

To start with i have just hard coded the colour i want it to detect. At present it produces an error. Parameter must be positive and < Width the error is on System.Drawing.Point(i,j). If i place the mouse over the colour then run the program it will say it has been found, but otherwise it wont find the colour. I believe i am not updating the location of the pixel or something to that effect.

1. How do I change the colour of the text I am entering. i.e. if the letter entered by the user IS in the word, then I want to make that text appear green in the other textbox, "guessed letters"
2. I also want to know how to mask and unmask certain characters at will. i.e. when the user guesses a letter, the program checks to see if the character is in the predefined word. If it is, then I want it to unmask that letter on the label, "Word Label". I also want the program to start with the word already masked.
3. How do I take a random word from a text file for the user to guess?. I have a text file with all the words of the dictionary on a new line.
