    Question about adding Text into Listbox

    Hello guys. I'm trying to write a program in such a way that when the user types a message in Textbox A, it will add the message into the Listbox in Red color. While when the same user types the message in Textbox B, the message will be added to the Listbox in Blue color. How do I do this?

    Wouldn't you just change the forecolor property?

    This can be done if you want to deal with about a mile and a half of code. See Aaron Youngs code here

    No. The back and forecolor properties of the standard VB listbox deal with the control as a whole. Not just a single entry.

    Omg! That was pretty sick! Haha... So there's no simpler way of adding different colored text to the same listbox?

    No...and until I ran into Aaron's post, I didn't think it was possible at all.
