Question

VB question: How do I recolor certain words in a richtextbox when they are added to it? For example, if the user types in Console> I want it to recolor Console> and make it blue instead of the default black color.

Answer 1

placeholders ?

Answer 2

I don't get what you're trying to say there, Sean.

Answer 3

I don't understand your question...
So if someone types say: 'color>blue'
You want the output to be blue?
Wouldn't it be simpler to use a color wheel?
Or do you want it when someone types: 'color>blue' in the richtextbox that the richtextbox text becomes blue?

Answer 4

Opcode, it's for a programming language. I want it to parse and recolor text. If someone types in "console>" I want "console>" to be blue. Nothing else, just where it says console>

Answer 5

Answer 6

What is the point in that?
Do you want it to highlight syntax in your language?
So each time someone types: "console>".
Would you want "console>" to be blue?

Answer 7

Answer 8

Oh like in C#

int [] a=new int [b];

So in here int and new appear as blue.
