change font color, type,or style

[beetdocta]

hello i was wondering is it possible in visual basic .net to change the
color of certain words or phrases without changing the color of all the
text in the lable or without having to create a new lable specificly
for that word or phrase

thanx

I have actually seen someone do that but are not sure of the article URL.

One thing you could do is use a LinkLabel & you are able to set the colour
of the links. Make the first link colour different from the others to
achieve this. Its not a fantastic idea, but its simple enough to do

You may want to use a richtextbox control instead of the label to display
rich-text:

\\\
With Me.RichTextBox1
.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None
.BackColor = SystemColors.Control
.Enabled = False
.Text = "Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla"
.SelectAll()
.SelectionColor = SystemColors.ControlText
.Select(10, 5)
.SelectionColor = Color.Red
End With
///

Hi,

You can do what you are talking about with the richtextbox
control

RichTextBox1.Text = "Some bold text and some regular."

RichTextBox1.Select(0, 15)

RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(Me.Font, FontStyle.Bold)

RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red
