changing forecolor mid sentence of label.caption

[gmkfusion]

Hello,

I have searched the web and several of my VB books, and I can not find how to do this. I did it once a few weeks back, but did not save it or remember how. I am trying to change the font forecolor of one word within a label.caption sentence.

for example, label.caption of

Suspension types are Strut and SLA.

Any help, please.

tia,
fusion

It's easy if you use a RichTextBox. Look up SelStart, SeEnd and SelColor properties.

Thank you johnwm, but I do not want to use the RichTextBox for this, and I did it before with a standard textbox. And if I remember, it was rather easy to do. Hopefully, someone can refresh me on this. I prefer to do it with a label or textbox.

Thanks,

I think you misremember. Neither textboxes nor labels can mix fonts - not without subclassing them and making them ownerdraw, which doesn't fall in the category of "rather easy" (particularly for a label, which is a 'lightweight' control and doesn't have a window handle...)

Is there a reason why you don't want a RTB? If there is, we may look in other directions
