How To Make Bold Text In One Textbox Bold In Another Textbox
I am writing a somewhat basic chat application, I was on the verge of releasing it when I spotted a bug. When I typed with bold text inside Text1, it only appeared normal inside Text2. Is there any way to have Text2 display the text formatting as well? I would also like to do this with the text colors.

Rtb Bold Text Not Using Selbold
I want to use a rtb, and only make some bits of text bold.

I downloaded the RTF document here:
http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/atta...tachmentid=205

which is VERY useful! Using the "{ text here}" syntax I should be able to achieve what I want, but I need some more help, as I can't find any on google, or in the forum!

I'm using this:

Code:
WelcomeText = "{{ Welcome to blah blah!}" & _
"{line}{line}line 2 here which should be non-bold" & _
"{line}{line}{ and this is bold again.}" & _
"{line}{line}etc}"

this is all I've figured out from the document I downloaded. But I think I need to use headers, but I'm really not sure!

Using the code above other text which is similar (and changes depending on different buttons clicked) becomes ALL bold, instead of just the parts I need.

Being new to this rtb syntax I'm struggling! Anyone know anything about this?

Help Making Bold Text In RTB
Hi there!

I have a small problem making bold text in a rich text box. I am looping through a string array and making the matching words bold, however if it finds a partial word then it will 'bold' the wrong thing. Here is the partially working code:

Code:
For i = 0 To UBound(rWord()) 'string array
If InStr(rtb1.Text, rWord(i)) Then
b = InStr(rtb1.Text, rWord(i))
rtb1.SelStart = b - 1
rtb1.SelLength = Len(rWord(i))
rtb1.SelBold = True
End If
Next i

So if the word "beer" and the word "bee" is in my text and the word "bee" is in my array, it will end up like this:

"Here is the word beer and the word bee."

Is there a way to come up with a more exact match? I've been looking at this and scratching my head.

Thanks for looking

Max.

API - Bold Menu Text
Can anyone help me with how to use an API call to make the text in a menu BOLD?

RTB - Make Whole Text Non-bold At Once
Hey,

I was wondering if it's possible to make the entire text in an RTB 'non-bold' (SelBold = False) all at once, without selecting the entire text and then setting SelBold to false...

I'm trying to create a 'bracket-shower' which in short:
- checks if the cursor is infront of a { bracket
- If yes - make that bracket bold
- If no, make the entire text non-bold (or in other words, 'delete' the boldness of any possible bold { brackets)

At the moment I'm using the following code:

vb Code:
Private Sub rtb_SelChange()Dim lSelStart As LonglSelStart = .SelStart 'This will make the selected bracket bold With rtb .SelStart = 0 .SelLength = Len(.Text) .SelBold = False .SelLength = 0 .SelStart = lSelStart If Mid$(.Text, lSelStart + 1, 1) = "{" Then 'Cursor in front of opening bracket 'Make bold .SelStart = lSelStart .SelLength = 1 .SelBold = True .SelLength = 0 End If End With End Sub

But obviously there are problems with the first part (making the text non-bold). Longer selections don't work (since the sellength is set to 0 directly after selecting...) and things like that... Also, sometimes, the selecting procedure can be seen by the user (you can see the text getting selected )

So is there any way of doing this?

VB Code:
ElseIf Button.Key = "Bold" ThentxtMain.FontBold = True

Theres a bit of it for you, but I am not sure how to make it unbold, I tried using variables to do it but it didnt work, this is what I did to try and make it unbolden when pressed again

VB Code:
ElseIf (Button.Key = "Bold") & (ModBold = False) ThenModBold = TrueElseIf (Button.Key = "Bold") & (ModBold = True) ThenModBold = False

if ModBold was true then the text would be bold otherwise it wouldnt be, any ideas?

Bold Certain Text In RichTextBox
Ok, I have a chat program and I want to bold the username.

I'm guessing I won't be able to send bold text, so here is the recieve sub.

VB Code:
Private Sub sockConn_Read(Index As Integer, DataLength As Integer, IsUrgent As Integer) Dim strBuffer As String Dim cchBuffer As Integer Dim nPos As Integer, strEol As String Dim scrolldown As String cchBuffer = sockConn(Index).Read(strBuffer, 1024) If cchBuffer < 1 Then Exit Sub g_strBuffer(Index) = g_strBuffer(Index) + strBuffer strEol = Chr$(13) + Chr$(10) nPos = InStr(g_strBuffer(Index), strEol) If nPos > 0 Then textOutput.SelStart = 65535 textOutput.SelLength = 0 a = Len(textOutput.Text) textOutput.SelLength = a textOutput.SelText = Left$(g_strBuffer(Index), nPos + 1) g_strBuffer(Index) = Right$(g_strBuffer(Index), Len(g_strBuffer(Index)) - (nPos + 1)) End If End Sub

I don't know exactly whats going on the above code, but I think the last 3 lines have to do with displaying the text.

Text thats sent will be like,
Username: Message

I need to bold "Username:"

Of course "Username" will vary... although I think that max is like 10-15 characeters.

Can anyone give me some code that could do this??

Thanks a Billion

Find Text Then Bold It Via VB6 And Word
I'm trying to programmatically make a phrase bold and underlined within a Word document text that I generate from a VB6 app. Ideally I'd like to do this right as the text is added to the document, but I don't think there's a way to do this since the text I insert comes from the database (I do wonder if it can be done when I'm hardcoding text that goes into a Word document from VB6, this can also be useful to me).

At any rate, once text is inserted into Word from the database, I go to a bookmark, then I'm try to find the first instance of a specific phrase after the bookmark and make it bold & underlined. Is there a way to do this? Here's my snippet that didn't work:

Code:
WordDoc.Bookmarks("blah_blah").Select
With WordDoc.Bookmarks("blah_blah").Range.Find
.Text = "blah"
.Replacement.Text = "blah"
With .Replacement.Text
.Bold = True
.Underline = True
End With
End With

Thanks

WORD AUTOMATION && BOLD TEXT
You will mock me for years!.. but I could not set a row of a word table in BOLD style!! I have to turn a bi-dimensional array in a word table... and when I met the "§B§" string in a cell, set that row to BOLD.

rTot: Number of rows of the array.
cTot: Number of columns of the array.
Wtab: Word table
mycell: string
matrix: bi-dimensional array of strings

------------------------------------------------------------------------

For R = 1 To rTot
RowBold = False
For c = 1 To cTot

End If
Wtab.cell(R, c).Range.Text = mycell
If IsNumeric(mycell) Then Wtab.cell(R, c).Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = 2
Next
If RowBold = True Then
Wtab.Rows.item(R).Range.Font.Bold = True

The Wtab.Rows.item(R).Range.Font.Bold = True statement should work... Or, at least, this is what I read in several forums...
