I am new to windows Forms. I am using VS 2008, C# to write a RichTextBox. I want to be able to color each line with a different color as I write to the RichTextBox. Can someone point me to samples. Thanks
foreach (string file in myfiles)
{
// As I process my files
// richTextBox1.Text += "My processing results";
if(file == "somefileName")
{
// Color above entered line or enter new colored line
}
}
Set SelectionColor
before you append, something like:
int line = 0;
foreach (string file in myfiles)
{
// Whatever method you want to choose a color, here
// I'm just alternating between red and blue
richTextBox1.SelectionColor =
line % 2 == 0 ? Color.Red : Color.Blue;
// AppendText is better than rtb.Text += ...
richTextBox1.AppendText(file + "\r\n");
line++;
}
