Change text format

[Gord]

Hello,

I'm dumping a bunch of data from an array into a text box. How can (if it's
possible) I change the appearance of certain lines in order to present a
better display as I iterate through the array? i.e. I want certain lines to
have a larger font size, bolding, italic etc. but not the entire text box.

Thanks

Gord

You have to use a RichTextBox, not a standard TextBox. You will be
making use of the various SelXXX properties. To put a RichTextBox on
your form, click Project/Components on VB's menu and select Microsoft
Rich Textbox Control from the list that gets displayed.

Thanks Rick,

I should have mentioned that the box I'm using is a rich text box already.
However, now I can burrow into my VB reference books on using the SEL
properties.

Thanks
