Hey!

One quick question: It's really easy to change the background color of
an entire RTB, but I have looked and looked and can't find a way to
change the background color of the selected text in an RTB. Anyone
know how?



Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
 
Hi,

RichTextBox has a property SelectionBackColor that will change the
background color of the selected text. I think this is what you are after.
 
Stoitcho,

Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately, I forgot to mention that I am
using .NET 2003, and I do not see this option. Any other advice?


Thanks again!
 
Yes, this is unfortunate. In this case you have no other option but to use
PInvoke and send EM_SETCHARFORMAT message to the RichEditBox using
CHARTFROMAT2 structure; this structure has crBackColorField.
