Forecolor attribute individual character?

[mborchers]

Hi all (again!),

Is it possible to change the forecolor of individual letters in a Rich Textbox? Suppose, for example, the user types "The cat in the hat". My program, interrogating the word before the space, detects "the" was typed. Looking up "the" in an array tells the program to change the "e" in "the" from black to blue, leaving "th" black.

Can it be done?

Thanks,

Mark

yes.

you can do it directly using RTF code, or indirectly by selecting the character (use selLength and selStart) then set the font colour of the text that has been selected.

Yes,, just locate and set the appropriate value for SelStart and SelLength, and then set the desired color in SelColor property of the RichTextBox..
