Hi, tej Welcome To MSDN forums

Sample:

Insert first snippet of text, with default formatting RichTextBox1.Text = "This is black " 
 ' Move the insertion point to the end of the line 

RichTextBox1.Select(RichTextBox1.TextLength, 0) 
 'Set the formatting and insert the second snippet of text 

RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
 RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Green RichTextBox1.AppendText("[BOLD GREEN]")
  ' Revert the formatting back to the defaults, and add the third snippet of text 

RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = RichTextBox1.Font

 RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = RichTextBox1.ForeColor RichTextBox1.AppendText(" black again")

the assignment to realtextbox is is done inside the program.... but i want it to change when i type it when debugging...

 i was hoping something more like searching the rich text box then if any instance of "RED" is found it must change color to red..

Hi Tejashs,

               Check with the below code you can the pass the richtextbox text by the textbox at runtime.

try this sample. Hope this will help you.

 Private Sub Update_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Update.Click
        RichTextBox1.Text = String.Empty
        RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font("Microsoft Sans Serif", 8.25, FontStyle.Bold)
        RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Green
        RichTextBox1.SelectedText = TextBox1.Text
        RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text

    End Sub
