VB.NET: Problem: Trying to change the color of more than one of the same text within a RichTextBox. I found that I was able to achieve this by using the following code:
Dim int1 As Integer = 0 Dim search1 As String = "Boat" While int1 <> -1 int1 = RichTextBox1.Text.IndexOf(search1, int1) If int1 <> -1 Then RichTextBox1.Selectionstart = int1 RichTextBox1.SelectionLength = search1.Length RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Blue int1 = int1 + search1.Length End If End While
The above code searches for, and changes the color of all "Boat"s found in the RichTextBox.
There are a few problems, such as: If you were to go back to edit the RichTextBox and place your cursor in front of the, now blue word, "Boat" and type then all of your text would be blue.
Also, the text you wish to change the color of in the RichTextBox MUST be Exactly the same as: "Search1", aka "Boat", capital letters and all.
