[VB.net-WINAPP] -StringBuilder Change font-style

[zubair1]

Hello,

Could some body please tell me how i can change the fonts style of a stringbuilder string at runtime.

Example:

Function myFun () as string
   Dim MyOutput As New System.Text.StringBuilder("")

   'I want to change the font or font-color of the String "Hello"
   MyOutput.append("Hello")
   MyOutput.appendLine()
   MyOutput.append("World")

   Return MyOutput.ToString
End Function

Textbox1.text = MyOutput()

Could some one tell me how i can do this - i want the string "Hello" to be blue when it gets outputted or make it Bold.

I can't find anything that can let me do this :(

Any Help is highly apprecaited :)
Regards

You would probably need to use a Rich Text Box, and set the RTF code as part of your string.

Thanks InsertAlias

But do you think there will be a performance differnce ? will my app load slower?

also, is it possible if you could provide some small snippet on how to do this

Thanks

Never tried, so I can't give you any code.

But a standard text box isn't capable of what you want, so it doesn't really matter if a RichTextBox will slow it down...you can't use a standard one :P
