vb 2005
Hi, in my program i have a rich text box with some text entered in by the user. While they are typing a timer is running that searches the rtb for a word which is "theword" in this case and if it does find a match it changes the word in the text box to blue. Same as vb 2005 puts any conditions in blue e.g if, else, end, and, or etc.
That piece of coding comes up with 3 logic errors. Just a list of things wrong with it -
1 it highlights the word but yet i haven't told it to
2 it changes all of the text to blue
3 it doesn't work
note: because the coding highlights the word when the press space or another key the word is deleted
does anybody know how to help on this, if can please reply

Code:
Private intPosition As Integer
Static intStart As Integer
Dim text As String = txtcode.SelectedText
Dim objType As Object
objType = CompareMethod.Text
intposition = 1
intStart = InStr(intPosition, txtcode.Text, "theword", objType)
If intStart > 0 Then
txtcode.SelectionStart = intStart - 1
txtcode.SelectionLength = 5
txtcode.SelectionColor = Color.Blue
End If
1 it highlights the word but yet i haven't told it to
2 it changes all of the text to blue
