Change Text Color in Code

[N402KC]

Hi Guys,

So I have a RichTextBox for a Chat, And I was just wonder how i can change the color of the text in the code. I know you can change the foreground color in the application its self, but I need to change the color IN THE CODE. Please let me know how. Thanks guys :-)

If I understand you correctly, this is what you are looking for:

RTB.ForeColor = Color.Red

Now How can i apply that to the text.

For Example

RichTextBox1.AppendText("<System>" & TimeOfDay & vbCrLf)

How could i change the color of <System> to Red

Here's a quick way of doing it, but mind you, It's thrown together, and not particularly effective.

RichTextBox1.AppendText("<System>" & TimeOfDay & vbCrLf)
        RichTextBox1.Select(RichTextBox1.TextLength - ("<System>" & TimeOfDay & vbCrLf).Length + 1, ("<System>" & TimeOfDay & vbCrLf).Length - 1)
        RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red
        RichTextBox1.DeselectAll()
