Hey Everybody! Well i need to display something like this on form: 15 + 10 = 10 + 5 + 10 now i tried gdi+ but i can't find a way to find out where like the 15 ended to start the + in another color so i thought the rich texy box would be easy'er but it seems it's been to long since i used it as well: the code: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim varStart As Integer = 0 rtBox.Text = "Hallo" rtBox.Select(varStart, Len(rtBox.Text)) rtBox.SelectionColor = Color.Red rtBox.Refresh() MsgBox("Check 1") varStart = Len(rtBox.Text) rtBox.Text = rtBox.Text & " My Name Is " rtBox.Select(varStart, Len(rtBox.Text) - 1) rtBox.SelectionColor = Color.Black rtBox.Refresh() MsgBox("Check 2") varStart = Len(rtBox.Text) rtBox.Text = rtBox.Text & "BadBoyTazz" rtBox.Select(varStart, Len(rtBox.Text)) rtBox.SelectionColor = Color.Red rtBox.Refresh() End Sub now the reason for the msgbox is just to force the pause of the code so that i can see how the rich text box refreshes! It does the same with or with out it! What happens here is it writes the "Hallo" in red, then the " My Name " in Black & then it writes everything in RED after i add "BadBoyTazz"! What am i missing to get it to look like this: Hallo My Name Is BadBoyTazz I can't see what the difference is between the first 2 words & when i add the "BadBoyTazz" Thanx... PS: If anybody can point me to a place where i can find the selution to the rich text box or gdi "version" please -- modified at 6:52 Monday 29th January, 2007
