Rtf and variable

[Sam]

Hi,
How can I assign the content of a string variable to the Rtf property
of a richtextbox :

Dim message As String = txtMessage.Rtf & "[" &
DirectCast(lstF ields.SelectedI tem, Field).FieldNam e & "]"
txtMessage.Rtf = "{\rtf1\ans i message}"

This displays 'message' instead of its content :(

Thx

Do you mean:

\\\
txtMessage.Rtf = "{\rtf1\ans i " & message & "}"
///

?

oh ! it was that simple ? thx !
By any luck, do you know how to append text in a richtextbox ?
Something like :

Dim message As String = txtMessage.Rtf & "[" &
DirectCast(lstF ields.SelectedI tem, Field).FieldNam e & "]"
txtMessage.Rtf = "{\rtf1\ans i
{\colortbl;\red 0\green0\blue0; \red255\green0\ blue0;} \cf2" & message &
"\cf1}"

That doesn't work :(

Re: Rtf and variable

I've found out.... just had to replace txtmessage.rtf & by
txtmessage.text &

Re: Rtf and variable

Now I have another problem :
txtMessage.Rtf = "{\rtf1\ans i
{\colortbl;\red 0\green0\blue0; \red0\green200\ blue0;}" & txtMessage.Text
& "\cf2" & message & "\cf0}"

In the above, the color of 'message' is green but then the text that
one types afterward should be black again as I do & "\cf0}". But
instead the text remains always green. Why ?

Re: Rtf and variable

also, the following has no effect at all on my text :
txtMessage.Sele ctionColor = Color.Red
txtMessage.Sele ct(iCntr, 2)

the text is not selected and there's no color change,
can you help ?

Re: Rtf and variable

I've found out what's going on,
iCntr was based on my message lenght, but that was comprising all the
Rtf stuff before my actual text. Now iCntr is correct and the text is
selected properly. However it is not red.... why ?
