    Applying changes to partial text in a text box

    Is it possible to change partial text areas in a text box? For example I need to code my program so it highlights certain text or makes certain text another color. Thanks.

    Use the Rich Textbox control which you will find in Project|Components|Microsoft Rich Textbox Control.

    Yes but doesn't the text that I want to change have to be highlighted? Like SelColor for example?

    Is there a way to highlight the text with code?

    No, you can manually set the SelStart and SelLength values.
