I have what I can only call a header in a text box. I wanted to see if I could bold and underline the column header while still having the rest of the text input not bold or underlined. I understand I would have to use a rich text box to be able to do formatting in this way period. The code for the header is

 Dim strTxtHeader As String = strItem.PadLeft(25) & strQuantity.PadLeft(35) & strPrice.PadLeft(15) & strSubTotal.PadLeft(15) & ControlChars.NewLine

I currently have that going into a regular text box in the form load event with this code

 txtOutPut.Text = strTxtHeader

Is there a easy way to make each variable in the text header bold and underlined? I have not done any formatting in a rich text box yet. I am guessing this is easy to do but going over my head at the moment.

Why not make a custom user control.. with a label docked to the top.. the textbox below set to fill.. and the label colored like a textbox? Slap a few properties to input/change text and off you go.

The TextBox, as far as I know, only supports one font at once. The RichTextBox isn't really that hard to use though:
Just read up about RichTextBox.SelectionFont, it's pretty easy. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.richtextbox.selectionfont.aspx#Y15)

If you're doing that just make the background transparent.

Not forgetting, of course, to start your TextBox entries with a NewLine.

Thank you for the tip. I will work on that. Seem exactly like what I need to do. I am glad there is a place where I can ask people with experience.
