alternative color for RichTextBox

[proff.hacker]

I want to make a chat program and I use RichTextBox to display the conversation

how to display it in Colors .. for example my color is red,, and the other is blue

RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text & myText & vbCrLf
RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text & comingText & vbCrLf

You need to find the start of the message, then the end, and then select the whole thing, and colour it.

You need to select the text, then color it.

dim OldMsgLen, NewMsgLen as integer
OldMsgLen = len (rich.text)
NewMsgLen = len (IncomingWinsockData)
rich.text = rich.Text & IncomingWinsockData)
rich.selstart = OldMsgLen
rich.sellength = NewMsgLen
rich.selcolor = vbRed

Pretty much the same for your text as it is for theirs, I'm sure you can figure it out.

i'll look too, I wrote a chat program a while ago, maybe i can find it. It worked a bit differently though. It highlighted just the user names, kinda like AIM or MSN.
