Formatting text
To make selected text bold, underlined, italic or strikethrough
you can use the following code:
|
Statement
|
Action
|
| RichTextBox1.SelBold = True |
Makes the selected text Bold |
| RichTextBox1.SelItalic = True |
Makes the selected text Italic |
| RichTextBox1.SelUnderline = True |
Makes the selected text Underlined |
| RichTextBox1.SelStrikeThru = True |
Makes the selected text Strikethrough |
To change the alignment, simply use this syntax:
RichTextBox1.SelAlignment = Alignment
Where alignment is one of the following constants:
|
Constant
|
Alignment
|
| vbRight |
Right |
| vbLeft |
Left |
| vbCenter |
Centre |
So, the following code will set make the selected text underlined, and aligned
to the right.
RichTextBox1.SelAlignment = vbRight
RichTextBox1.SelUnderline = True
