Code Editor

Re: Code Editor

Well the RichText has a Text and RichText properties can contain plain text
and formatted text respectively. You can use those to manipulate Formatted
and unformatted text...

if you do a search in http://www.planet-source-code.com under the VB
category for Syntax highlighting you'll probably find a few examples that
can get you on your way.
