How can I change the colours in my scripting language's compiler like in Visual Basic?
I have a few words I will reserve as script-only words and I need a way to display what they are.

Here's an example of what I want to accomplish:

Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors

There you can select a type of word and give it another (background) color or make it bold.

Not this, I mean being able to change certain word's colours in a textbox in my program. I've only been able to change the entire textbpx's forecolour, but is there a way to change the colour of certain words?

O like that... For that you'll need a richtextbox (not a normal textbox). If you're going to add text and give it color when you add it you can use this:

This will give something like this int he richtextbox:

You probably are used to just taking the string of the textbox, adding another piece of string to it and send it back but that won't work for some reason here. If you already have some text in it and you want to have a specified piece of text in a color:

This will make the first 5 characters of the textbox red.

So if you want to make a specific word red, find its startindex in the string, its length and use those in the select command.

I used that first piece of code in a program of mine and the result looks good doesn't it?

Thank you very much! I did the same basic idea as you the first time I tried this, but I forgot to add code that makes everything else black.

Thanks a bunch!
