TextBox + colour

[Markk]

Hi.
I would like to ask, if it's possible make text in Classic TextBox control
coloured. I think like in RichTextBox. One Part of text will have one color,
second part text another color.

Maybe I colud overload OnPaint method, but I don't know how.-
Is on Internet any example.
Thank you very much for answers.

The textbox control doesn' support that, that's why the richtextbox control
exists. Is there any reason for not using the richtextbox control?

Hi.
I trying to use classic textbox, because I would like to make highlighting
editor.
and Richtext box is too slow when I want coloured many text.
Or any Ideas How Can I make highlighting editor with RTB?
I watch on SharpDevelop, but it's too complicated to understand for me.
Thanks
