highlighting selected text in RichTextBox

I have the following code but I can't get the selected text to
highlight correctly. What happens is all the text after the selected
text is red. I need to add that after the selected text is
highlighted, I append more text to the box (I'm working through an xml
doc & highlight based on attributes as I go along).
Any help appreciated. thanks...charli e

int indx = richTextBox1->Text->IndexOf(theTex t->InnerText);
if (indx != -1) {
// Select the string using the index and the length of the string.
richTextBox1->Select(indx, theText->InnerText->Length); // length
is 5 in text
richTextBox1->set_SelectionC olor(System::Dr awing::Color::R ed);
}

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
