I need to have a Word-like marker in a RichText box...
I know of course how to set the color of selected text itself; but I don't see how to really highlight that selected text.
When I highlight text in Word (with the highlight tool), and then copy and paste the whole text into a RichText box control in Access 2000, the highlighted words remain highlighted.
Looking at the RTF-code itself, I see that when highlighted text is pasted from Word into a Richtext control, one line of code is added in the beginning of the whole text (right after the first line of "RTF-codes"
, defining the use of colors for highlighting:
{\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue255;\red0\green255\blue255;\red255\green0\blue0;}
When text is highlighted, it is surrounded in rtf by tags (f.i.: \highlight2 and at the end by \highlight0). So, I guess it must be possible to highlight text within a Richtext box control with VB code, isn't ?
If someone finds the answer, it would help me really !
