Make a Command button look like Word Bold or Italics Button

[DavidfromBoston]

I am using a rich text box to edit text.

I can write the code to make text bold and italics, but would like to add a button that works like the buttons in Microsoft Word. The bold button has a B in it and clicking on it leaves it "pressed" or not pressed.

Select your bold button, go to the properties page and select the font. Change the font to be Bold. Next, select your italic button, go to the properties page and select the font. Change the font to italics.

Hi,

You need to use a toolbar (part of MS WIndows Common Controls, so you may need to add it to your project)
Add a button to that toobar, caption it etc
You will need to set the style to tbrCheck. You can also set the deafult state if you choose.

Hope that solves it for you

Matt
