    Question Changing colour of single words

    i have a textbox and i want it to change the colour of single words as it 'recognises them'.

    I have got the recognising bit sorted but i only know how to change the forecolor of the whole text box. i would like it to simply change the colour of the single word....

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    You will need a RichTextBox for that purpose.
