character color richtextbox

2 New Member
Hello,

I need to look at a string in a richtextbox one character (or space) at a time to determine the color of the character. For example if the user entered “This is my string” I need to know that “This is” is Red and “my” is green and “stri” is red and “ng” is yellow. This string will be sent to a marquee and knowing the color is important in order to insert the proper ASCII character before the color change. Thank you for your help.

Any method that requires the character to be the selected text (like

Hi, Is there any way to replace a character at a position? Without cussing the RichTextBox to scroll. For example the following code will replaces the by removing but the side effect is that it will cause it to scroll. aRichtext.Text = aRichtext.Text.Remove(position, 1) aRichtext.Text = aRichtext.Text.Insert(position, "Y")
