RichTextBox

What formatting characters do I put in a string of text to make the characters bold and increase the font size when it’s put in a RitchTextBox.


Example:

Dim sTemp As String

sTemp = "This is some sample data " & vbCrLf
sTemp = sTemp & "Make this line Bold and Font Size 13" & vbCrLf
sTemp = sTemp & "Return to font size 10 and not bold "

RichTextBox.TextRTF = sTemp

Any reason not using standard rtb way? 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
   With RichTextBox1
      .Text = ""
      .SelText = "Normal" & vbCrLf
      
      .SelBold = True
      .SelFontSize = 13
      .SelText = "Bold with font size = 13" & vbCrLf
      
      .SelBold = False
      .SelFontSize = .Font.Size
      .SelText = "Normal again"
   End With
End Sub

You have to look at the RTF formatting.

The easiest way I've found to do this is create an RTF doc in wordpad.

Put something like bold test on the 1 line
and then look at the formatting form there.

Word has additional things that it can do but not all of them are supported by the .Net rich text box.
