Trying to change the color of more than one of the same text within a RichTextBox. [Code] The above code searches for, and changes the color of all "Boat"s found in the RichTextBox. There are a few problems, such as: If you were to go back to edit the RichTextBox and place your cursor in front of the, now blue word, "Boat" and type then all of your text would be blue. Also, the text you wish to change the color of in the RichTextBox MUST be Exactly the same as: "Search1", aka "Boat", capital letters and all.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to find a way to change the color of one word when appending text to a Rich text box. So if I append the sentence "This is a sentence with a specific word in one color" The entire thing will be in black except for the word "specific" it will be in red or any color I choose. The same thing will happen if the next line appended is "Please be specific in your request". All back except for the word "specific". I don't want the text added then someone has to click a button to change the color. It should happen as it's appended.

View 3 Replieshow change font color for some word in Richtextbox example : when write "The lost" in Rich font color change to blue ...and other word don't change ...other example : same "DIM","AS" and "integer" in VB.NET ,,how i can do it?how to save the word from richtextbox to text file ?
Note : I'm using VB.NET 2008
If someone types in something like "red", I'd like the word's font color to become red. I tried something like this:
Dim red As String = "red"
Dim fnt As Font = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25)
If RichTextBox1.Find(red) > 0 Then
For Each _str In RichTextBox1.Text
Dim my1stPosition As Integer = RichTextBox1.Find(red)
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = my1stPosition
But I dislike the highlighting-type approach.
I'm trying to find a few words and i want them to be for example in red.this is for a Html Editor. so i need it to list all words. for example i would need it to highlight "div", and "table", and lots of other words. all of them need to be red. or if it could highlight all words that are in "< >" would be amazing. iv been searching google and the internet for like 4 days. there is code out there but it will only highlight one word.

Going in more depth currently over on MSDN on how to parse a color line to the richtextbox.
To explain more imagine you have various types of information. For example sake say a....
PRIVMSG
NOTICE
MODE
being parsed to the richtextbox. Now we have one sub to deal with all these three messages from the server but each needs it's own color.
Now currently i can only think about on each arrival of a new message loop the RTB length and match a a string.
Is there any way when we append to the RTB with the new string we can parse that new strings color also?

I am opening an exe that launches in a hidden cmd window, and redirecting the text to a RichTextBox on a form. The problem is that the status messages in the cmd window are in color, but the redirected text in the RichTextBox has no color information and show as black on white. However, all the status messages in the cmd window have headers that could be parsed in some way so I can add color to them for my RichTextbox. For example, a message in the cmd window might read: [Warning] No settings file was found, using default values instead. This message is in Yellow in the cmd window.

View 1 RepliesMy application appends incoming report data onto a RichTextbox control. As more text arrives from an external device, the thumb initially fills the trough and as times goes on, the thumb diminishes in size. This is expected behavior.A modal dialog box allows the user to cancel the file download but since it's modal, the user can't scroll down to see what the last text that was appended.Is there a property/event/method that will show the most recent/last text in the RichTextBox control, rather than the initial text as I have it displayed now? The user would be able to see the text drawn real time without having to use the thumb to accomplish
View 2 Replieseveryone! 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
[Code]...
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.
I have a TextBox that displays a color as its background color and the background color code in its text. I have set the text color as Black.The problem is that if the user sets the color as Black then the color code will be unreadable. How do I set the text color programmatically so that it becomes readable when the user selects any color?
