Subject: [pro_vb] Formatting Text in Text Box


> Hi,
>
> I'm putting a bunch of informational text into a text box.  Is there a way
to individually format parts of the text, using some type of escape
sequences or vb...  constants surrounding the strings I am inputting.  Or is
there a quick and better way to do it.  Right now I am just using:
>
> Dim info As String
>
> info = info & "Description:  This program is used blah blah ......"
> info = info & " and so on and so on ......"
> info = info & "....and so on and so on ......"
>
> frmMyHelp.txtHelp.Text = info
>
> Would be nice to be able to say bold/underline the Description, like:
> info = info & "Description:  This program is used blah blah ......"
>
>
> Any thoughts/ideas are appreciated - thanks.
