[Whatupdoc]

i'm not sure how to call this code. what should i put for the "lColor" parameter?

Public Sub HighLight(RTB As RichTextBox, lColor As Long)
'add new color to color table
'add tags \highlight# and \highlight0
'where # is new color number
Dim iPos As Long
Dim strRTF As String
Dim bkColor As Integer
 
    With RTB
        iPos = .SelStart
        'bracket selection
        .SelText = Chr(&H9D) & .SelText & Chr(&H81)
        strRTF = RTB.TextRTF
'add new color
        bkColor = AddColorToTable(strRTF, lColor)
'add highlighting
         strRTF = Replace(strRTF, "\'9d", "\up1\highlight" & CStr(bkColor) & "")
         strRTF = Replace(strRTF, "\'81", "\highlight0\up0 ")
 
         .TextRTF = strRTF
        .SelStart = iPos
       End With
 
End Sub

The color you want to use for the highlight. It can be one of the predefined color constants like vbRed, vbYellow, vbGreen and so on, or the result of a call to the RGB function, or the ForeColor/BackColor property of a control and so on.
