    hi. advanced programmer, but new to vb.net. can anyone recommend a control or know which one microsoft word uses for it's document window? same one as in vb.net's code editor window. eg. you type incorrect spelling in this control and it underlines errors, colors your text, adds spaces for your code, etc. like some really advanced textbox control, what is it? cheers all and look forward to all your suggestions :) --Graham

      Word uses its own proprietary control for its "text editor"

        You could try the one that comes with QueryCommander. It looks very similar to the VS.NET IDE. Might do something that Word can, but I have not messed with it much. http://sourceforge.net/projects/querycommander The network is down...let's go get bagels.

            it's not one control. you can try to implement all the things by yourself. for example, for spell check, there is aspell, etc...

              yeah i know that but for changing text in the textbox in realtime, putting color underlines, etc. and yeah microsoft announced a few years back ms word was programmed in vb. so i'm pretty sure the new versions were too.
