see attached... I assure you it is safe.

how did he do the cell style textbox. Where you click on it, and it highlights like in excel is that with a datagrid?

Uhm... post a screenshot showing what you mean. I'm still not downloading it.

[Grunt]

here, its like a textbox, but you can click on each character once, and it selects that character.

looks like a rich text box to me

[mendhak]

A readonly textbox or readonly RTB. If I'm guessing right, it's like Query Analyzer's SQL pane.

how would you get it to only be able to select one character at a time like that. You cant select a bunch of those lines, you edit each one like a cell.

Through the keypress event, he'd be replacing the character at the cursor's position.

ok... Can you please help on this.

I get the mouse position with:

Dim MouseX, MouseY As Integer
        MouseX = childForms(childForm).txtTabStylistChild.MousePosition.X
        MouseY = childForms(childForm).txtTabStylistChild.MousePosition.Y

how do i do the mouseclick event if somebody clicks on the character.
