    Does anyone know how to change the BACKGROUND colour of certain sections text in a Rich edit Control... Similar to how text is highlighted with a yellow background in the VB Development environment when you get an error. Anyone got any ideas?

    Before replying, please note what i am after. I know how to select text and change it's colour and font etc. what i need is how to change the background colour of certains sections of text.

    Thanks people, if u have any ideas, please post a reply.

    Hi,
    Well, since you helped me w/ my question, I'll help you!

    OK, just go to http://www.vbaccelerator.com. I saw it there about a day ago, but I can't remember the exact address. You should do a search for it.

    Cheers dude, i never noticed that OCX on vbAccelerator before I am looking through the source now to find a way to do what I want to do. I don't know if he has just used a newer version of the RichEditControl though, anyway, i will have a look. cheers.
