Yeah the typing goes extremely slow and fails much but I'm also developing a second that inherits the richtextbox control and just uses some API calls it's working pretty good with a few bugs.

My other method don't work properly as it is very slow so just don't try it but can explain:
It selects the word by the select function with start at the start index and length as the word length
Then it sets the color with the selectioncolor property
Then it deselects the text by using the select function again
.select(richtextbox1.textlenght - 1, 0)

You can start your own topic if you want to talk about yours, not in mine....

I guess he does this:

Code: Select all

Richtextbox1.select(start, length)
Richtextbox1.selectioncolor = color choise
Richtextbox1.select(index, 0)

I have used that in my syntax highlight component
