I have searched and read previous posts regarding similar topics, but none seemed to help. What I want to do is have something sort of like how america online has their richtext box, where the names of the people typing are a certian color but the text they type is just black. What I have set up is a text box(txtEdit), and in the keydown event, i have it so when enter or chr(13) is detected, it sends text to the RTB. I want it to do someting like this:

txtView.text = textView.text & (start of the color) UserName & ":" (end of color) & txtEdit.text

(UserName is the persons handle, say "Mike". where txtEdit is the textbox they type into, and txtView is the RTB is shows up in)

does anyone have any idea how I would do this? any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
