Richtextbox Text Coloring?
Jun 23, 2009
i'm working on a project app to help me color code my html snippets. i'm not being able to figure out how to change the color of this line when selecting text :
<font color=blue> synthax helper </font>
to look like this:
<font color=blue> synthax helper </font>
as far as i can get it to change the selection color is this:
<font color=blue> synthax helper </font>
here's what i have in code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Blue
RichTextBox1.SelectedText = "<font color=blue>" & RichTextBox1.SelectedText & "</font>"
End Sub

I have a program that appends text to a richtextbox.I do it like this :RichTextBox1.AppendText("[" & Now.ToLongTimeString & "] <" & Username & "> : Hello World !" & vbNewLine)
I know the username.Now, I searched google to color the username (the text between '<' & '>').It works, for the first line at least.As soon as I add another line, only the first line stays colored.How would I do that so it colors every line?

I was wondering if it was possible to colorize syntax of, say HTML, inside of a RichTextBox by comparing each word in the current line of text against the collection of words in System.Web.RegularExpressions.AspCodeRegex? I'd imagine that from this question it would be possible?

I�ve a label which displays a time counter as follows:
Me.label.text = �Hrs: � & myH & � Mins: � & myM & � Secs: � & myS
The line:
Me.label.ForeColor = Color.Red
Changes the color of the entire text to red.
I�d like the letters H, M and S to be of different colors. I know I could set up three different labels and color them but I was wondering if exists a trick which allows me to change colors with the same label.

I have a program that colors certain words, but when I do a Ctrl+Z, the textbox undoes the coloring. How do I make it stop undoing the coloring, and just the text that was edited?

This is my second post and today I have the following problem:I want to make a Steam Gamertag Maker ..
1) I have a RichTextBox.
2) I have 8 buttons each representing a color (red, green, yellow, blue, teal, pink, white and black ..)
3.1) I enter some text into the richtext box.
3.2) I select part of the text.
3.3) When I press a button, e.g Blue and the selected text changes to that color.
3.5) I have a copy button, that copies the content of the richtextbox .. and that is where the problem starts .. (The copied text has no color and so on .
4) If I press, for example the Blue Button, I want that the following text "^4", is written just in front of the selected text and that the selected text is colored blue at the same time. The other text should not be affected by those adjustments ..
5) If the "^4" is inserted, it should be hidden
6) If everything is colored, I press the copy button and it should copy the whole text, including for example the "^4" ..
7) I want the "^4" to be hidden, because it looks better, but if I copy the content of the RichText box it should be included ..

I am trying to color the text in a node in a treeview using Visual Basic 2008. I can easily do this by using the forecolor property (currentNode.ForeColor = Color.Red). The tricky part is that I want to color the text within the same node different colors. Here is an example of the string I want to color...
strStatus = "ReleasedGN, EditYW, StopperRD"
currentNode.Nodes.Add(strStatus)
I use the codes GN, YW, RD to indicate what color I want the text to be. I want the status Released to be colored Green, etc...
Is there a way to color the text within the same node different colors?

My 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

I have a bundle of tiny pictureboxes on a form. The number is specified by the user, but it could be up to 100, or so. The user can select any set of these pictureboxes by a variety of means. I want to change the image to show the selection state of the pictureboxes, and I'm looking for the best way to do that. The pictureboxes each shows a bitmap. The brute force method would be to have a selected image and an unselected image and just swap them, but it seems like there ought to be a way to do something significant and reversible to the image, such as inverting the colors, that might be smaller that having a second copy of each image.

Dim listbox1 As New ListBox
listbox1.Items.Add("<br/>")
Dim int As Integer = 0
Dim line As String = RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
For Each item In listbox1.Items
[Code] .....
My coding selects an item from the list box and tries to color the words in the currently selected line, however, it often colors characters that come after the instance. Why is this happening?

I have an issue with Visual Studio's support for coloring User Types in VB.NET, I'm an C# developer that have been forced to code in Vb.NET by political rules in my organization, and I really misses the support for coloring user types in Vb.NET, I had hoped that this would be solved in Visual Studio 2010 and well in the beta they have added Vb.NET User Type coloring, but the coloring is the same for all user types I cant't have one color for interfaces and one for classes and so on.

I have not been able to "Get" properties of richtextboxes that are in other forms in my MDI interface. I'm creating a document editor which specifically call for a richtextbox for each form. I'm attempting to implement a Find/Find All form, which is why I need to "Get" text from each document by creating a property for each. However, I keep getting "null" erroer messages.
My property structure follows:
Public ReadOnly Property rtb_txt_form() As String
Get
Return Solution.TextForm.RichTextBox1.Text.ToString()

How can I insert a text in RichTextBox at current cursor position. The AppendText method adds to the end of the existing text. Any similar method that inserts text at the current cursor position?
Similarly, can it be done for our simple TextBox?
