Mixinf fonts in a TextBox?

[zacks@construction-imaging.com]

I have a multiline textbox control where I would like to load up with
something like the following:

This is Line 1 <- this line is NOT bold
This is Line 2 <- this line is bold
This is Line 3 <- this line is NOT bold

I have attempted to use C# code like the following:

string part1 = "This is Line 1" + Environment.New Line;
string part2 = "This is Line 2" + Environment.New Line;
string part3 = "This is Line 3" + Environment.New Line;

textbox.Text = part1;
textbox.Font = new Font(textbox.Fo nt, textbox.Font.St yle |
FontStyle.Bold) ;
textbox.AppendT ext(part2);
textbox.Font = new Font(textbox.Fo nt, textbox.Font.St yle | !
FontStyle.Bold) ;
textbox.AppendT ext(part3);

But the compiler complains that the ! operator cannot appear where it
is. I know there has to be some simple way to do this, but I just
haven't been able to find it yet.

Can anyone help?

TIA,

You need to use RichTextBox instead. I'm sure Google will be able to tell
you what to do with it.

You won't do it with a TextBox - use a RichTextBox instead.

Take a look at the RichTextBox control and its 'Select' method and
'SelectionFont' property.
