what is fastest way to change text color?

[Ryan Liu]

Hi,

I want to change keywords text color in a text editor. I select RichTextBox
and use its Select() method to select keywords line by line, one by one,
then change its color.

this.Select(sta rt,length) ;
this.SelectionC olor = color ;

But turns out it is very slow for big file. Is there better way to do so?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Ryan,

You could always write an engine that would parse RTF files and change
the color on the fly. That's the only way I can think of doing it outside
of the RichTextBox.

Hope this helps.

Then next question is:

I am try to write my own, but is there classes or open src code to handle
RTF format file in C#?

Thanks a million,
