I using C# windows forms and I have richtextbox and I want to color some text in red, some in green and some in black.
How to do so? Image attached.
Richtextbox font colorForeColor = Color. FromArgb(255, 108, 105, 105);
A RichTextBox control is an advanced text box that provides text editing and advanced formatting features including loading rich text format (RTF) files.
The Windows Forms RichTextBox control can display a plain-text, Unicode plain-text, or Rich-Text-Format (RTF) file. To do so, call the LoadFile method. You can also use the LoadFile method to load data from a stream.
The RichTextBox allows formatting the text. It also provides the facility to save the text in the file and restore it from the file. Drag and drop RichTextBox control from the toolbox on the window Form. ' SaveFile Method Saves the contents of the RichTextBox to a file.
System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox
has got a property of type Color
of the name SelectionColor
which gets or sets the text color of the current selection or insertion point. You can use this property to mark specific fields in your RichTextBox
with the colors you specify.
Example
RichTextBox _RichTextBox = new RichTextBox(); //Initialize a new RichTextBox of name _RichTextBox
_RichTextBox.Select(0, 8); //Select text within 0 and 8
_RichTextBox.SelectionColor = Color.Red; //Set the selected text color to Red
_RichTextBox.Select(8, 16); //Select text within 8 and 16
_RichTextBox.SelectionColor = Color.Green; //Set the selected text color to Green
_RichTextBox.Select(0,0); //Select text within 0 and 0
Notice that: You may avoid calculations by using RichTextBox.Find(string str)
which can be added through Object Browser
if you would like to highlight the text within the Lines
in RichTextBox
giving it's value
Example
RichTextBox _RichTextBox = new RichTextBox(); //Initialize a new RichTextBox of name _RichTextBox
_RichTextBox.Find("Account 12345, deposit 100$, balance 200$"); //Find the text provided
_RichTextBox.SelectionColor = Color.Green; //Set the selected text color to Green
