Does someone know of a solution to this...

The deal is I'm trying to make my own text box which has the following features:

* Possibillity for changing the background color of specific texts.
* Support for hyperlinks.
* Support for a background picture. Tiled, streched or centered.
* It should be possible to change the line spacing.
* It should start outputting text at the bottom of the box.
* And of course, it should be possible to change fonts, and select the text.

I've been trying to do it with labels, but it's way too slow. I also downloaded the Rich Edit control from vbAccelerator but I couldn't get it to work, even after I went to their troubleshooting guide.

So, does anyone know of any other control I can use, or a solution to how I can make this textbox?

Start building an ActiveX control to do just that. When you have a specific problem post it here. :)

I'm guessing you're making a mIRC clone? ActiveX or Rich Text is the way to go, or even using the form window itself...

Good luck
