A textbox with squiggly lines in different colours
-
Dear All, Sorry this is a newbie type question though er, I have been programming for er 10 years. I have found one or 2 C++ pieces of code to enable squiggly lines under a text box. Alas I am no good at C++ anymore and am a VB er person. I find references to an Extended Rich Text control, but I have seen in other applications without rich text control. Unless that is just appearance. What would be the recommended path for me to try, I can use a rich text box, but ultimately I would like to have a textbox which has a spell check with some other thesauras type feature (it is for a recruitment project and I would like to have words that move people into categories - eg: if it finds FMCG underlines in blue and if the use right clicks it says it is part of Sales, Marketing and Advertising.) Many thanks

He means the lines that show up in say Microsoft Word when you spell something wrong.

OK. First help link I have posted does that. But not the lines, it changes the font color to red. I dont know if we can change color change to squiggly lines.

You can with a custom drawing routine, or the link I posted did it with WPF. I've seen it done before, but can't find it now.
