Text1 or RichTextBox1?

**artsapimp** · Jun 19th, 2000, 09:16 PM

I just want to make a simple HTML editor using a few features noone else uses to simplify it for me. I have been told to use a RichTextBox instead of a Text Box because if I wanted to set a color to specific types of code it would have to be a RichTextBox. I am just looking for some other opinions, I don't know anything about then and a little about Text Boxes. thanks

The advice you were given is correct.

I don't know any of the properties for a RichTextBox though.

As in:

What is the equivelant to SelText in RichTextBox?

SelText

How do I have text default to being in the RichTextBox?

<html>
<body>
....
</body>
</html>

on different lines like that?

Code:

RichTextBox1.Text = "<html>" & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "<title>" & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "...." & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "</body>" & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "</html>"

Perfect thanks. I am almost done with most of it.

How do I stop the words from wrapping? It never has a scroll bar across the bottom because it wraps to the next line.
