VB Syntax Coloring

Posted by Sam Huggil on February 7th, 2004
There are now quite a few code repository programs on the market, and they all implement syntax colouring. This gives the program the look and feel of Visual Basic, but with their own customised interface. This control works by having a list of words that need to be coloured, and then checks the text for an occurrences of this text. It also handles comments and underscores.

Requirements

This control requires the Microsoft RichTextBox control 6.0 although you could change the design to support an earlier version.

Implementation

The download comes with a full demonstration project which shows you how to change the colours (using the ChooseColour dialog).

  • Highlighting text by changing background color

    Posted by Legacy on 06/20/1999 12:00am

    None of the highlighting code I've so far seen produces a highlight like Word 97 generates, that is, the background behind the text changes color to yellow. Has anyone succeeded in doing this, either in a text box or rich text box?

    If I create a Word 97 document, type a few words, then highlight one word and save the document in rtf format, the resultant rtf contains "\highlight7" in front of the word. However, this is ignored by the rtf formatter in the rich text box. Any ideas why? Are there different levels of rtf?

    Thanks.
