RichText Format Bold

[MidgetsBro]

What is the code in the rich text format to make a certain word bold? Say I have somthing like

(MidgetsBro) Hello
(Bob) Hey there buddy.
(MigetsBro) what's up?
etc...

How can I make the name and () bold?

I've tried making a simple RTF document with just one word bold, but it was really confusing how much coding it added when I saved it...

You can make it bold and change the color if you want.

Dim strWord As String
Dim lPos As Long
 
strWord = "Hello"
 
lPos = InStr(1, RichTextBox1.Text, strWord, vbTextCompare)
 
If lPos > 0 Then
    With RichTextBox1
       .SelStart = lPos - 1
       .SelLength = Len(strWord)
       .SelColor = vbRed
       .SelBold = True
       .SelStart = Len(RichTextBox1.Text)
    End With
End If

Actually, I wanted to know the actual RTF coding. Not how to do it in a RichTextBox. I am making a chat program, and I want the names bolded, so I was thinking that I could send the formatting string along with the message. I thought it was somthing like {\b}BoldText{\b0} but I guess it isn't. I've decided to just search the string, and format it after it's received.

Thanks anyway.
