Hi

Is it at all possible to format a part of (say the first line) TextBox text at run time in VB 2010 Express? If yes how please?

Thanks

Answer 1

Better use RichTextBox control.

Answer 2

The textbox does not offer formating, but rather expects a string.  If you want to format part of a string, then you would use a StringWriter, StringBuilder, or String.Format to prepare the format of the data represented by the object.

 

If you are talking about colors/fonts/boldness, then A.m.a.l. Hashim has provided a good answer, as the RichTextBox provides those functionalities.
