[goofan]

Hi i got this program that searches throught files for a word or more words then 1. and all the files desplayes in a listbox (list1) and when i press on any of the "files" in the listbox i get the content in another window textbox...
right now i can highlight the last "looped" word but i wanna highlight all the found words in the content...
plz help me if u can.

code:

Private Sub lbdraw_click()
dim numberoffile as stringdim varde as string
dim impa as string
dim content as string
dim myfilenum as string



searchfor = (text1.text)
words() = split(searchfor)

dim i as integer
dim tempstr as string

For i = 0 To Ubound(words)
tempstr = replace(words(i), ",", "")
tempstr = replace(tempstr, ";", "")
e.t.c.


Next i




List1.text = ""

numberOfFile = lbdraw.ListIndex

varde = filearray(numberOfFile)

myfilenum = FreeFile()

open varde For Input As #myfilenum
Do While Not EOF(myfilenum)
  line input #myfilenum, impa
  impa = impa &vbNewLine
  content = content + impa
Loop

List1.text = content

Close #myfilenum

Dim talTest as integer
talTest = 0
talTest = instr(content, Tempstr)

List1.setfocus
If talTest <> 0 Then
  List1.selstart = talTest - 1
  List.selLength = Len(tempstr)
Else
  List1.selstart = talTest
  List.selLength = Len(tempstr)
End If
End Sub

you can not select more than 1 selection in a textbox


change your textbox for a richtextbox, you can then use highlighting (not selecting), to highlight multiple ranges
there is a thread by moeur in vb6 codebank, for working with richtextbox, including highlighting
