Highlighted text...

Hi again.

I have a standard multi-line text box. I also have "B" command button, representing "Text Bold"

What I want to happen is the user highlights some text they've typed into my multi-line text box and then clicks B it adds <B> just before the start of their highlighting and </B> just after. I don't actually want the text to go bold... as it gets posted to a website.

I don't have the slightest idea of how to do this, could anyone help?

Thanks!
Jonathan.

maybe this can help ...

Code:

---

        Dim str As String = TextBox1.Text
        Dim SelectedStr = "<B>" & TextBox1.SelectedText & "</B>"
        Dim startpos As Integer = TextBox1.SelectionStart

        str = str.Remove(startpos, TextBox1.SelectionLength)
        str = str.Insert(startpos, SelectedStr)

        TextBox1.Text = str

---

Thanks! That worked perfectly!
