[RESOLVED] After text colorize in RTB, it returns to black after form minimize

[VB-only]

I colorize certain text in a Rich Text Box in my form load, and also when I do a Save after user edits the data. But when the form is minimized and then a form.activate event occurs, the colorization is gone and the text is black.
Is this normal behavior? The text is black at entry to the activate event.

Make a copy.
Trim away as much as you like, but leaving enough to demonstrate this problem.
Then attach the project.
That will give us something we can get our teeth into

Ok-will try to that. Interesting in that sometimes form activate triggers and sometimes not. It doesn't seem to be predictable.

Form_Activate event is raised when a different form is focused within our application only. If the current active form of our application is focused from external application then Form_Activate is not raised.

But if a different form of our application is focused from external application then Form_Activate is raised because current active form within our application is changed.

After doing some more reading here,
https://www.freetutes.com/learn-vb6-...esson6/p4.html
it refers to the Autoredraw property and whether true or not during form activate. I set Autoredraw to true and the form loads properly now.
Live and learn I guess! Thanks for the valuable comments.

More info.
Form minimize invokes form resize, twice!. I was doing some strange stuff with the font sizes in resize and that was the crux of my problem.
The resize event was coded twenty years ago and looking at it today makes me think of looking at a four year olds art work.
