I am trying to conditionally change the colour of some text in a textbox, for example: If n=> 10 then txtbox1.forecolor = red
This doesn't appear to work, does the textbox need to be a 'rich textbox'
This is the code I have, but it doesn't work, does anyone know how to change the colour like I'm trying to do.
'If the text is changed
Private Sub htmledit_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles htmledit.TextChanged

I got a Sub which processes a code, and then it does whatever the code said. Example.
Code = "Black" -> Turns screen black.
Code = "OFF" -> Turns off the PC.
And so on.
If I call that Sub from Immediate console, It works perfectly. But if that Sub is called from an event, It does nothing, and usually throws an Exception. I read somewhere that I can fix this by using Threads, but I don't understand how that can help and make it work.
Well, i created a form and added a textbox and a button to it, when i press that button this text "VB Forums" appears in the textbox. The question is, how can i make that those initial letters (VB) appear in another colour e.g Red but the remained Text (Forums) stay as it is.

I have been experimenting with my windows form application(vb 2008/10) and made sure that the top part(glass part) extended to become a bit larger.Now 1 problem occurs. Everything, like text, which is black, will become transparent so unreadable. With labels and pictures, I solved the problem, I just write a string(e.graphics.drawstring) and for labels / titles I use a long method(not important). But now the problem comes

I have a large number of textboxes on a form that are set to read-only until the user clicks an Unlock button. I have left the default colouring in place (no code required), so the boxes are light grey when read-only and change to white when not read-only. The problem I have is that Windows Vista's colours are so insipid and pale that it's hard to spot the difference on some monitors. It all looks good on an XP desktop but the difference is too subtle on a Vista PC.
Can the default colouring of a read-only textbox be changed? I know I can change it in code with backcolor but I don't want to put loads of code behind my Unlock button. That's the way I did it in VB6 and I want to get away from that. I just want to use the default "greying out" action when making the texbox read-only, but change to a slightly darker grey.
I'm having trouble getting an naero glass code which works properly. I hav ecome across many in which anything black becomes aero aswell. Is it possible to have the black text unaffected by the aero like, change it so that another colour becomes aero instead?Also this is just an extra but can you change the colour of the aero you have? Like default is blue change you change it to like yellow, or black or another colour?

I have created a program that Draw a circle and then you can move it around a picturebox. I have made code so that it changes colour but instead of changing the colour of the circle already been drawn it creates a new circle which when you overlap the original circle with the new circle it cuts part of it.So what I wanted it to do when I change the colour of the circle it changes the colour of the circle already been drawn instead of creating a new circle.

Also I can't use the X and Y coordinate input to move the circle to the entered coordinates.
