Richtextbox Control + Highlighting

[jman3]

I have a richtextbox control and I am adding several lines of text to it.

I am trying to make it so that any text that starts with "*" is bolded, and
that all other lines are kept in regular type.

However, when I try switching between bold and regular the whole RTB control
either becomes bold or regular type..how can I fix this?

thanks for your help!

Have a look at the control's 'SelectionFont' property.

I took a look...but how do I tell it to select the correct line# ?

You can use the RichTextBox's 'Select' method.
