    In Excel, is there a way to set the background color of a cell from its RGB color code? For example, if cell A1 contains the hex value FF0000 (pure red) then I want the background color of that cell to be pure red. Many thanks for any help

    Word-wrapping within a RichTextBox

    I have a RichTextBox into which I want to load a rich text document. When I do this, the document in question (which has no carriage returns in it) doesn't automatically word-wrap within the box, but runs off the end of the top line. I want it to wrap within the box, but I can't find the...

    Tab Stops in a RichTextBox

    Is there any way I can change the width of the tab stop when displaying rich text in a RichTextBox? I've tried working through all the properties, but I can't find anything that looks relevant, and my online help doesn't seem to cover this. Many thanks for any help offered.

    Search-and-Replace in Rich Text

    This one follows on from an earlier query ("Colored Text in TextBox"), but I have a clearer idea of what I'm trying to do now, so I'll start a new thread. I have a VB5 application containing a RichTextBox, into which I've imported a Rich Text document. That document contains some words which...

    Colored text in TextBox

    Is it possible to change the colors of words that are displayed in a textbox? For example, if I wanted to write "An error has occurred" in a textbox, and to write the word "error" in red, could it be done? I'm guessing that if it's possible at all, then I'd need to insert some control codes...
