color words inside a sentence

[engnouna]

Hi
I have a VB6 form that displays a sentence from a label upon clicking on the command OK.

label1.caption="Good morning Miss Joanna Deneuve...", I want the words Miss Joanna Deneuve to be colored in red and the remaining words in black.

How can I do it?
Thanks

You'll have to use a richtextbox if you want different parts of a string to be coloured differently. Or you could use two different labels.

You can use either multiple labels, one for each color or use a richtextbox control.

Ok i added a richtextbox to my form,could you tell me what i need to display my string in different colors?

You use the SelColor & .SelText properties:

With RichTextBox1
    .Text = "Good morning "
    .SelStart = Len(.Text)
    .SelColor = vbRed
    .SelText = "Miss Joanna Deneuve "
    .SelStart = Len(.Text)
    .SelColor = vbBlack
    .SelText = "the rest of your text goes here"
End With

you could also put all your text in and then go back and change the color of certain parts.

With Me.RichTextBox1
    .Text = ""
    .SelBold = True
    .SelFontSize = 20
    .SelText = "Dataare" & vbNewLine
    
    .SelFontSize = 8
    .SelBold = False
    .SelColor = RGB(200, 0, 0)
    .SelText = "Name:- "
    
    .SelColor = vbBlack
    .SelText = "shakti singh dulawat" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "Email:- "
    
    .SelColor = &HC00000
    .SelText = "[email protected]"
End With

To change the formatting of existing text, select some text and then change the desired "SEL" properties.

With Me.RichTextBox1
    .SelStart = 0
    .SelLength = 7
    .SelBold = False
    .SelItalic = True
    .SelColor = vbYellow
End With
