    Graphical representation of a WordSearch

    What i need to do is show the user a Wordsearch. That basically means, i need a table-like control, upon which i can draw shapes. Is there one?

    The purpose is that i have to write a program that can solve any wordsearch. I have no problem with the algorithm...but how should i show the user the results once the words are found?

    Suppose i have the following words search (in french):
    Code:
    ORGFUNC
TUVEIHC
UOJAIAH
AJMETMA
MNNDPIT
OOECOLE
IBFILLE
    The last five letters on the last line are a word - "FILLE". Once i find that, how can i show the user where it is?

    How are you displaying the words?

    You could put them in a RichText box and then change the color and/or bold the word if you find it.

    Armbruster said it, use the richtextbox to display the info. BTW is there a reason you are using arrays for each char rather than strings for the whole word?
