Visual Basic :: Changing Font Color In Rich Text Box

Rich Text Box Change Font Color
I have a sub that reads in and changes the selcolor of a rich text box.

The code executes fine and if i run the code and then write in the rich text box the text is the color set by the selcolor but if i click on a button i have set up that simply enters some text into the rich text box the text color stays black (its original color)

what do i need to do to get the text to change to the set color when it is entered like it does when its written in.

Changing Font Color Cause Text Box To Flicker
If my rich text box control has more text than can currenlty be dispalyed at one time and I change the font color of all the text in the text box, the rich text box will flicker. If the total text in the rich text box does not fill up the entire rich text box dispaly area, I can change any text font color and I do not get any flicker. Is there any way to prevent this repaint event from occuring?

my code is pretty simple:

Text1.SelStart = 0
Text1.SelLength = Len(Text1.Text)
Text1.SelColor = NormalFontColor

Richtextbox Text Changing Color When Font Size Changes
Hello,

I have code to change the font size of the text in my Richtextbox, but when it does change the font size, it also changes the color of whatever the text currently is to black. In other words, if the text is currently red or blue, it will change the text to black.

Code:
combo1.additem "8"
combo1.additem "9"
combo1.additem "10"
combo1.additem "11"
combo1.additem "12"
combo1.listindex = 0

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
RichTextBox1.SelStart = 0
RichTextBox1.SelLength = Len(RichTextBox1.TextRTF)
RichTextBox1.Font.Size = Combo1.Text
End Sub

Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening ?

Thanks...

Rich Textbox Font Color
I made a chat window for my chat program that when it loads up, it's
rich textbox color alway reverts back to black.

What the chat form does is when you click on the send button, the
message is sent and then the form is unloaded. I have public variables
in place to hold all the font properties. When the user sends a message
back, the chat form or message box loads back up, displaying the new
message. In the form load event, the font properties are reloaded with
the values already held in the public font variables and everything works
except for the font color.

My problem is that even if i have my font color set to red, when the form
loads back up, the rich textbox font color always goes back to black.

I've heard and experienced myself that the rich textbox has flaws in it.
For instance, if the font color is set to red and i change the font bold
property, the font color goes back to black.

I was just wondering if there is a way to subclass the rich textbox to
get it's font color property instead of the Selcolor property.

I noticed the rich textbox has font.bold, font.italic, font.underline and
font.size properties but not font.color. I wonder why?

Changing Back Color Or Font Color Of DTP
hi folks,
I have a DTP whose value is being populated from Access 2003 database. I require that if the year value is less than 1951 then it should have a backgroundcolor as vbred or atleast the font displayed should change to vbred. I tried the below code line in change & click event of DTP but to no effect. I did not use both codes together or use the codes in both the events simultaneously.

VB Code:
If Year(Me.dtp1.Value) <= 1950 Then Me.dtp1.CalendarForeColor = vbRedIf Year(Me.dtp1.Value) <= 1950 Then Me.dtp1.CalendarBackColor = vbred

could somebody help me.

Detecting The Current Font And Font Size On Various Lines In A Rich Text Box.
I have written an editor that uses a rich text box as the main text area.

The editor allows the user to select a font and font size on the toolbar.

My question is, how does one get the combo box text (for both the font and font size) to display the font or font size for the current line of the current character location?

Meaning, if I were to type in two lines, the first line being Arial 12pt, and the second line being Tahoma 14pt, how would I get the program to display the font and font size in the combo boxes?

I know about SelFont, SelStart and such, but I am not selecting any text. I am merely moving the cursor up or down and need to be able to display the font and font size for where the cursor currently is.

Anyone have any ideas?

I thank you in advance.

Changing Text Color In An RTF Without Changing The Current Texts' Color
I need to add multiple lines of text to a Rich Text box, all with differnt colors.

Now if say, i have an line of text colored orange, and i add a line of text colored as red, the orange line becomes black (default) and the last line is red.

I need to keep the orange line orange, while the new line red

i will attach the code of the test example i wrote:

You will need to add the Microsoft Rich Text Box v6

Here is the code i did in the command button (Command1)

Code:
With RTB
.Text = .Text & Text1

.SelStart = Len(.Text) - Len(Text1)
.SelLength = Len(Text1)
.SelColor = Val(Text2)

End With

The form contains a rich text box (RTB) a text box where you input the text to be added (Text1) another text box where you enter the color of the new text (Text2) and the command button to add (Command1)

Changing Font To Italic In Light Gray Color Based On Data (in MS Access Reports)
Here's a Control Source of one of the fields in a report we have:
