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.

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.

Can anyone offer an example piece of code?

I read the rich text box tutorial in the Tutor's Corner and it was pretty good. Only left one question. How would you implement on the fly coloring?

Basically I have a normal text box with the code in it, and a preview box with the colored/formatted text, but I'm not sure how to make it trigger the different formatting and then turn it off when a different formaat is choosen.

Hopefully you understand where I'm going with that.

Rich Text Box Color
hi again , i have finished my text editor and am making it so there is a timer that calles a peice of code from a module every 1millisecond. the code will search the document for text like dim etc and will change their colour to blue. i am only testing this out with dim at the moment to see if i will be capable of doing it all. my problem is, i firstly use this peice of code
Code:
Dim im As Integer
Sub color()
im = InStr(Form1.rtb1.Text, "dim")
If im > 0 Then
'how would i do this?
End If
End Sub
the thing is, to change the colour, would i have to use sel start and sel lenght to highlight it and then change its colour by using form1.rtb1.selcolor = vbblue or is there another way to do it without highlighting the text first?
