    I just wanna know if this is possible, not how to do it. Is it possible that I can make it so all text between (and) appears a different colour or style?


    Thanks,

    Where is this text at?

    In a richtext control? Yes

    What is the class for changing colour? There is no forecolor id for Richtext..

    You would have to first select the text then change the color...

    'This would change all text to red in rtf

    rtf.SelStart = 0
    rtf.SelLength = Len(rtf.Text)
    rtf.SelColor = vbRed

    I am using:
    If txtData.SelLength = Len(txtData.Text) Then CommonDialog1.ShowColor Else MsgBox "You need to select text" End If
    But you always get the message box, unless you have selected ALL of the text. How do I do it so you set it only the highlighted text, and still have the message box show if you dn't have any text selected. BP

    try **txtData.SelLength > 0**

    b3ginn3r is right......

    If txtData.SelLength > 0 Then
        CommonDialog1.ShowColor
    Else
        MsgBox "You need to select text"
    End If
