Background color of RTB

Hi friends,

I am trying to develop a 'context sensitive text editor for C' in VB 6.
I wanted to know how I can highlight a particular line of text in a rich text box.
Is that possible in VB6? If not is there any means by which that can be achieved?
Thank you in advance.

Do you mean to highlight as though the user had dragged the mousepointer over the line to select it, or to change the backgound colour of the text like the highlighter marker in Word? Or something else?

Or are you looking for help on how to identify/select the line?

Thank you for the reply.
Actually it is like this.
Say a piece of code is written in the editor (remember this is a text editor to write C programs) and is compiled. I want that the lines where errors have occured are detected and highlighted.

Thank you for your time and reply soon.

The simple way would be to select the line by setting the start and length of selection (.SelStart & .SelLength, I think) then setting the colour with (I think) .SelColor.
