.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / February 2008Different color text in textbox
Can you have different color text is a standard TextBox? I know you can in a RichText box but what about the TextBox. Same with bolding - can you bold one line of text in the text box and then unbold the next line? Thanks, Tom You're asking for rich text in a non richtext box ! The answer is no, richtext is available from richtext box only ;-) HTH, Serge. http://www.apptranslator.com - Localization tool for your applications > Can you have different color text is a standard TextBox? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Tom "tshad" <tshad@dslextreme.com> schrieb: > Can you have different color text is a standard TextBox? > > I know you can in a RichText box but what about the TextBox. > > Same with bolding - can you bold one line of text in the text box and then > unbold the next line? No, the Windows Forms textbox control doesn't support that (except in WPF).  SignatureM S Herfried K.

Bolding is an other issue. :( Hope this helps, /ravi ----------- > Can you have different color text is a standard TextBox? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Tom "Ravi Bhavnani" <ravib@ravib.com> schrieb: > Contrary to the other replies, yes you can. > > myTextBox.ForeColor = ... > > Bolding is an other issue. :( Re-read the OP's post. You cannot change the color of a certain line in the textbox. The font can be changed by assigning a new font to the control's 'Font' property. Specify 'FontStyle.Bold' to use a bold font.
