    Resolved [RESOLVED] Changing the background of selected text in RTFTextBox

    Can you change the color of the background of just the area of the selected text? I have tried and the whole background of the rtftextbox changes. Is there a way to do this?

    I've had a decent amount of experience with RichText Box's and I am pretty sure it isn't possible, then again I learn something new everyday... except more like 20 things.

    This was done a while ago for me, to prove that it could be done. It's not perfect, but does illustrate the point. Thanks, Phil.

    Glad it helped. I had to look for it, and then it was in a zip file that I had to test. Now it's part of my collection
