[RESOLVED] [2005] 1 format toolbar and 2 richtextboxes...

[tylerm]

My form has 2 richtextboxes on it and I have one toolbar with formatting buttons on the main mdi form, there won't be multiple instances of the child form.

I'm trying to make it so when a RTF box gets focus, it sets a variable like this:

RTFObject = ActiveRTF

RTFObject being the variable and ActiveRTF the RTF box that just got focus. So when I press one of the format buttons, it works like:

RTFOBject.SelectionFont = New Font(RTFOBject.SelectionFont, (RTFOBjectSelectionFont.Style Or FontStyle.Bold))

My overall goal is to have just one format toolbar and when focus is given to either of the 2 richtextboxes, it will format the right box.

Any ideas?

Nevermind, my problem was I decalred RTFObject on the main form when I should of made it on the actual RTF form.

Public RTFObject As RichTextBox

RTFObject = ActiveRTF


And on the main form, for the bold button:
formSoftware.RTFObject.SelectionFont = New Font(formSoftware.RTFObject.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
