    Control

    I need some suggestions. What would be the closest control to a rich text box that would allow you to make multiple, non-sequential line selections. I have a text file that displays perfect in a rich text box, but I need to be able to select specific lines, not a group of lines like a rich text box does. Any suggestions??????

    Thanks,
    Kendal

    One more thing. I used a listbox and it worked wonderful, except for the fact that I would also like to be able to change the font color of text within a line. Any suggestions on that??????

    Thanks,

    Make the listbox owner-drawn. Example of owner-drawn listbox here (bottom of page) which should give you some idea about how to proceed.

    Yes. Your correct approach would be to ask your question in the C# board.

    Thanks Ken,

    You pointed me in the right direction with an owner drawn listbox. That is what I needed.

    Thanks,
    Kendal

    P.S. One more question. Is it possible to change the color of a substring of text within a line item in a listbox?
