Changing font properties in TextBox.Text in VB.Net

[KisiOne]

I have a requirement to display a list of candidates in an election and make the winner's name red. I would like to use a multiline textbox to do this but don't know if I can change the font properties for part of the text only. If it is not possible to do, any suggestions on what other control I could use?

The font properties for a text box apply to all text within it.

Use the RichTextBox control, which allows formatting of sections of text.

I can see how your suggestion helps a user to select and change font colour using a dialog but still don't see how I can set the font colour in a program.

Have a read of the help for RichTextBox - you can programatically change the font style of a text selection within the RichTextBox. This would allow you to change a specific line by programatically searching for and selecting the required text (in your case the winning candidates name) and applying a font colour of red.

Hi
to change the Font of the textbox at run-time you can
Dim objFont as font
objFont = New Font("Verdana", 8.25)
textbox1.font = objFont
As far as your question is yes go for Rich-Text Box and you can have more power than ordinary text-box

Where can I get a list of the possible fonts (e.g. Verdana, etc..)

Thanks

Do you want to use all available fonts, or only some? Check the fonts available in Word:
