RTFBox.SelStart = Len(RTFBox.Text)
RTFBox.SelText = MessageText
RTFBox.SelStart = RTFBox.SelStart - Len(MessageText)
RTFBox.SelLength = Len(MessageText)
RTFBox.SelColor = MessageColor
RTFBox.SelStart = Len(RTFBox.Text)
End Sub
Usage:
PrintMessage "This is a sample message in RED." & vbCrLf, RGB(255, 0, 0), RichTextBox1
If you want a multicolored line use like this:
PrintMessage "Green part ", RGB(0, 255, 0), RichTextBox1
PrintMessage "Blue part" & vbCrLf, RGB(0, 0, 255), RichTextBox1
Note you put vbCrLf only when you want to end the line.
Of course, you can use QBColor instead of RGB, or system color constants, or the color hex value.
