Programming In Visual Basic: Highlight Text and Select It.

iseededpeepl · 12-05-2006, 12:33 PM

Hello Everyone,

I am currently coding in Visual Basic and run into a stump. Everyone knows of the ability in Word to highlight certain text, hit the bold button and only thehighlighted text will be bolded. I would like to do something similar with a textbox on a Visual Basic form. I would like the userto be able to highlight certain text thathe orshetypes and when they click a button, that specific highlighted text will beinputted into a string variable and displayed in a label on the form. Any ideas how to do this?

If you have troubles understanding it please do tell, and if you have any ideas as to where to go to get help with this, please do tell.

Thanks for your time,

Sincerely,
Nick
