Different character color in Rich Text Box
Hi everybody,
I am new here ...I have some problems to give color to exact words in RTB...I searched the forum I get some answer about this issue but I couldnt find and understand these...My problem is :
I have some files that their extensions are *.eia that can be opened with Notepad.
I can load these files from thier location into RTB in my project.
This files like this:
N1 ..............
N2 G1 X...... Y........ Z......
N3 X...... Y........ Z......
N4 G1 X.....Y......Z.....
N5 G2 X......Y.....Z..... f3000
G0
N6......
.
after loading I can see these lines in my RTB..
This is the problem:
I want to see just "G1" s as Green and also
I want to see just "G2" s as Yellow in my RTB when I click a command buton. How can I do these??
..I know some topics about this issue in this forum but I couldnt adapt them to my project..Because I couldnt understand the logic about these...Sellenght SelColor??..I couldnt do...

thank you it seems work really.. But it doesnt work in my project..0n my project it gives error line "Me.RichTextBox1.SelColor = vbGreen" it couldnt find " SelColor" properties.
I tried the code above in other an empty project then I checked the "RichtextBox1. Selcolor" yes I can see its properties. But in my project I am adding a new RTB, 1 couldnt see SelColor. 1 can see everyting "SelLenght, SelStart,SelSelect vb.." but no SelColor..What sholud I do?

Hi again,
The codes works fine but I have a little bit problem...If our text have 400-500 line there is no problem, It just takes to change the color approx. 5-6 seconds..But If Our text have 80000-85000 lines, 1t takes approx. 1-1.5 minutes..Is there any other way to make faster to decrase this time..??
And the other question: I am writing "S3000" instead of "G2" in order to search that word, but the same codes doesnt work proper..What should I change to run the code in order to change the "S3000"s color.. I think 0t is relevant with "Me.RichTextBox1.SelLength

Try this and see if it is faster:
Private Const StringsToFind = " G1 , G2 , S3000 "
Private Const ColorsToUse = "65280,65535,255" ' vbGreen, vbYellow, vbRed '
Dim Counter As Long
Dim LastStart As Long
Dim Strings() As String
Dim TheColors() As String
Strings = Split(StringsToFind, ",", -1, vbTextCompare)
TheColors = Split(ColorsToUse, ",", -1)
For Counter = 0 To UBound(Strings)
LastStart = 0
Do While LastStart <> -1 And LastStart < Len(Me.RichTextBox1.Text)
LastStart = Me.RichTextBox1.Find(Strin
If LastStart <> -1 Then
Me.RichTextBox1.SelColor = Val(TheColors(Counter))
LastStart = LastStart + Len(Strings(Counter))
End If
Loop
Next Counter
End Sub
Private Const StringsToFind = " G1 , G2 , S3000 "
Private Const ColorsToUse = "65280,65535,255" ' vbGreen, vbYellow, vbRed '
Dim Counter As Long
Dim LastStart As Long
Dim Strings() As String
Dim TheColors() As String
Strings = Split(StringsToFind, ",", -1, vbTextCompare)
TheColors = Split(ColorsToUse, ",", -1)
For Counter = 0 To UBound(Strings)
LastStart = 0
Do While LastStart <> -1 And LastStart < Len(Me.RichTextBox1.Text)
LastStart = Me.RichTextBox1.Find(Strin
If LastStart <> -1 Then
Me.RichTextBox1.SelColor = Val(TheColors(Counter))
LastStart = LastStart + Len(Strings(Counter))
End If
Loop
Next Counter
End Sub
