color words inside a sentence

Hi
I have a VB6 form that displays a sentence from a label upon clicking on the command OK.

label1.caption="Good morning Miss Joanna Deneuve...", I want the words Miss Joanna Deneuve to be colored in red and the remaining words in black.

How can I do it?
Thanks

You'll have to use a richtextbox if you want different parts of a string to be coloured differently. Or you could use two different labels.

You can use either multiple labels, one for each color or use a richtextbox control.

Ok i added a richtextbox to my form,could you tell me what i need to display my string in different colors?

You use the SelColor & .SelText properties:

VB Code:

With RichTextBox1
    .Text = "Good morning "
    .SelStart = Len(.Text)
    .SelColor = vbRed
    .SelText = "Miss Joanna Deneuve "
    .SelStart = Len(.Text)
    .SelColor = vbBlack
    .SelText = "the rest of your text goes here"
End With

you could also put all your text in and then go back and change the color of certain parts.

VB Code:

With Me.RichTextBox1
    .Text = ""
    .SelBold = True
    .SelFontSize = 20
    .SelText = "Dataare" & vbNewLine
    
    .SelFontSize = 8
    .SelBold = False
    .SelColor = RGB(200, 0, 0)
    .SelText = "Name:- "
    
    .SelColor = vbBlack
    .SelText = "shakti singh dulawat" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Email:- "
    
    .SelColor = &HC00000
    .SelText = "[email protected]"
End With

To change the formatting of existing text, select some text and then change the desired "SEL" properties.

VB Code:

With Me.RichTextBox1
    .SelStart = 0
    .SelLength = 7
    .SelBold = False
    .SelItalic = True
    .SelColor = vbYellow
End With
