Perhaps I am wrong in this. . . but I have had a similar situation with my program. From all the documentation I have read, you cannot change fonts/colors for individual lines (or partial lines) in richedit, listbox, etc predefined types. You will have to create a window and control all the painting in that window yourself. If I am wrong, we will both learn something. . . If I am correct, we'll talk off-line and perhaps I'll share some of my code with you.

normally you can't have multiples by default, but its possible with a custom control or a wrapper such as this: http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/ne...er/article.asp

this guy shows you how to make a font picker combo and have it apply to your richtextbox control. he wrote a little wrapper in which he gives all the source and a tutorial to boot.

an alternative would be to purchase a control to add into your tools such as this:

enjoy.

No, I dont know what I did, but I just needed to open a letter. and I used different fonts in wordpad, and when I opened the letter in my program, it shows everything the same way it was created.

melbolt

so you created a wordpad file and now are trying to print it out inside of your textbox in your app?
