Is this possible?

[hansoctantan]

In VB.Net Any Text Control (TextBox, RichTextBox, etc...) Is it possible to bold a highlighted/particular text in a control? Thanks...

I did't do that...

With a TextBox, you can only set the font and fontweight for the whole string. With the RichTextBox you can set any amount of fonts and font weights to your hearts desire. To set the current selected text to bold, or if it is already bold, set it to normal, you can use something like this :

With Me.rtb
If .SelectionFont IsNot Nothing Then
Dim currentFont As System.Drawing.Font = .SelectionFont
Dim newFontStyle As System.Drawing.FontStyle

        If .SelectionFont.Bold = True Then
            newFontStyle = currentFont.Style - Drawing.FontStyle.Bold
        Else
            newFontStyle = currentFont.Style + Drawing.FontStyle.Bold
        End If

        .SelectionFont = New Drawing.Font(currentFont.FontFamily, currentFont.Size, newFontStyle)
    End If
End With

Hope this helps

No. You'd have to paint that part yourself.
