color text

[RobcPettit]

Hi, if I put a string into a label, label.Text = horsy[0] + "\t" + " -
" + "\t" + returns.totReturn.ToString();, is it possible to have the
'returns.totReturn.ToString()' string part in a different colur.

Hi,

No , it;s not

You have to derive from Label and do it your self. I don't think it's a very
difficult thing to do anyway

I would create a custom control and then use the OnPaint method to paint the
text the user specifies. Check MSDN for creation of custom .NET controls.

Aside from your question (which has been answered in other replies already),
I notice you are doing:

label.Text = horsy[0] + "\t" + " - " + "\t" + ...

Why not:

label.Text = horsy[0] + "\t - \t" + ...
