    Rich Edit Control Colors

    I know its possible to change the color of the text inside a Rich Edit Control, but im not sure how.

    I'm pretty sure you can do it with RTF, no? But im not sure how to set the RTF, i've tried but all thats happened so far is its displayed the RTF code, instead of actually displaying the the colored text.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    But what if i had a big text and had to color some of the words in the text, how would i go about doing that? i see how you can enable the user to change formating of a text.
