Trying to use a Rich Text Box

I am trying to use a rich text box to document what I am doing. I want as I add text to it that will keep the previouse text. However every time I enter new text the old text disapears. The reason I want to use the Rich Text box was to use different colors for different conditions sent.


Any ideas?

I though of creating a string buffer an having that keep track of what is going on. Is that the correct way. If so how do I make color of certain things?

Sharing your code with us would help.
Just clicking in a RTB and typing more text wouldn't cause it to clear the earlier text, so it's hard to say what you're doing.

i also think that you have code that cause this to happen i thinke you may use event of focusing or chaning the control to clear it

re: Trying to use a Rich Text Box

Code

ErrorReport.Text.Insert(0,"Hello");

Or

ErrorReport.Text = "Hello";

The first one does not work and the second one does erases everything but the Hello.

Instead what I have been doing is modifying a string

String Page;

If I want to add anything

Page += NewText


Then ErrorReport.Text = Page;

However then I do not know how to get specific parts of the string to be bold/dif color/dif font/ effect.

I am not trying to type in the box it is ment for display purposes only. I wanted to use a RTB so that I could use diff effects for the text for diff error/status codes

have you tried
ErrorReport.Text += "Hello";
