Multiple text colors in a single text box?

[Tontow]

Is it possable to add different collored text to a text box? - IE: Have one word be red, the next green, the next blue, etc.

You will have to use a RichTextBox for this.

Edit: More info.

Once you use this control look into the

setColor property.

Yes. There was a bug with {\rtfx..} tags that allowed users to specify how big their font was and such.

As long as you're using a rich text box, though.

[Warrior]

afaik, theres a message you can send it to render that useless. I forget message

Umm, what setColor property, I couldn't find a reference to it on msdn.

And what are {\rtfx..} tags?

[Warrior]

The one in the RTB control.

Replacing the slash with the reverse should fix that exploit.

I'll find it later.

I found SelColor, but there is no setcolor that I can see.

[Warrior]

Err yea, my bad.

It's not actually a bug

Indeed it is not, its auctually RTF formatting. I'll find a link that has stuff about it later.

To simply eliminate this vulnerability to your rich text box, use EM_STREAMIN instead of EM_REPLACESEL (.SelText)

Or just...don't add it in...

[Tontow]

Code Select Expand

       
        txtmainchat.Text = tempstring(index) & vbCrLf & txtmainchat.Text
        txtmainchat.SelStart = 0
        txtmainchat.SelLength = Len(tempstring(index))
        txtmainchat.SelColor = RGB(163, 163, 163)


tempstring(index) is the text to be added, txtmainchat is the chat window display

It changes all the text that color, when I just want one line that color....

How do I keep this from happing?
