how to color a word

[saadmechiche]

HI everybody

I want to know how can i do to search a word in a richtextbox to count it and to color it , in yellow for example

this is my code , and i think it's incomplete and probably wrong


dim n as integer
dim t as string
for each t in richtextbox1.text
if t="hello" then
n=n+1
end if
next
'It doesn't works actually , can you help me

Use the "SelectionStarts", "SelectionLength", "SelectionColor" properties
I think that's a good hit

Something like this should help you implement it your way:

        Dim rtbText As String = RichTextBox1.Text
        Dim ColoredString As String = "hello"  'it is case sensitive

        Dim Index As Integer

        Index = rtbText.IndexOf(ColoredString)
        Do While Index > 0
            Index = rtbText.IndexOf(ColoredString, Index + 1)

            If Index <> -1 Then
                RichTextBox1.Select(Index, ColoredString.Length)
                RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Yellow
            End If
        Loop
