[2005] Emoticon in VB.net

[AlexW23]

How would i be able to pull images out of a imagelist and replace them with things such as "" in a vb text box?

[Atheist]

You might be able to do that using a RichTextBox, but not with an ordinary textbox.

how do i make a rich text box

[kleinma]

RichTextBox is simply a control in your toolbox. Just like the regular Textbox is.

In case of a chat program I would use a WebBrowser control so that you can append HTML, ie. Whatever you like!

How can i Input into web browser

[RudiVisser]

I will find the code when I get back home for you.

The documenttext property will let you set the html of the displayed document.

[RudiVisser]

That's what I was looking for, good point.

Alex, simply append each new message on a new line (<br />) and put whatever you like in it. A few simple string replacements should do the trick (ie. replace whatever you want with HTML code).

My preferred format would be for each message:

<br /><b>username</b> {time sent/received}: message

But maybe that's just me
