Mike,

In my idea is what you want with a textbox impossible (or you should set
your computer in any way only displaying bold characters).

Use for your purpose the richtextbox.

Just to make sure you understand Cor's message... He's telling you,
correctly, that you can't get there from here. In a normal TextBox
contorl, the font is either bold or it's not. You can't have some
bold, some not bold. To accomplish that, you need to use a
RichTextBox control.

You can't do that. A Textbox has one Font property that applies to
all of the text.

You can do it with a richTextbox control. I have just done that with a
project where I had to search the textbox, find keywords or a character in
a Textbox, and bold the word or single character in the textbox.

Take a look at the richtextbox control and its 'SelectionFont' property.
