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.
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

I have a rich textbox and when you click on it i want the size to increase from 329, 20 too 329, 285. How would i accomplish this.My current code is:
richtextbox1.size = "329, 285"
but i can an error and im not sure what i should do.
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("Not Found")
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red
that is my code.. my problem is in my richtextbox1, there are many line that contain "Not Found". So how can i change colour for all of that text to red colour? my code only work only with a single line that contain "Not Found".
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
is there a way that i would automatically paste the clipboard contents to my richtextbox after the shell command?
