    Richtext box changing colours

    Hey,

    I need to change colours in a richtextbox. I am making a simple html editor. i want to make the tags different colours. I have searched google so please dont say search google. I also use vb.net which makes it a bit harder to find anything

    Open to any ideas but searching google.

      I figured it out with this code

      Code:
                     RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("<html>")
        'using the Find method to find the text "are" and setting it's return
        'property to SelectionStart which selects the text 
        RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Blue
        'setting the color for the selected text with SelectionColor property
        RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = RichTextBox1.Find("<body>")
        RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Yellow
      i have tried but i cannot make it select the text that the user was previeously on

          Glad to see you got it sorted out. See, being 13 is no handicap. You were much too quick for us. :)

              I just relized a problem. Everytime text is put into the richtextbox it has to go through a few tags. And if you writing html codes it get really really really anoying. Is there anyway that i can make it only update things that have not been updated. (Meaning change the colours only if the colour hasnt been changed)

              Also it is a bit of a handycap because you cannot buy software or anything :)

              ty alot
