IHello
I would like to change the font size, color, name, when I click on a word
and reurn it back to its previous style if i click it again. I try this but
it works only if I make a double click on the word... When i want to select
a piece of word without an apostrophe for example it crashes: What's wrong?
Private Sub RTB_txt_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles RTB_txt.SelectionChanged
If RTB_txt.SelectionFont.Name = ("Tahoma") And _
RTB_txt.SelectionFont.Size = "12" And _
RTB_txt.SelectionFont.Style = FontStyle.Bold And _
RTB_txt.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red Then

RTB_txt.SelectionFont = New Font("Arial", 11, FontStyle.Regular)
RTB_txt.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black
Else

RTB_txt.SelectionFont = New Font("Tahoma", 12, FontStyle.Bold)
RTB_txt.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
RTB_txt.AutoWordSelection = True
End If
End Sub

thanks

I'm not sure, but I think you're asking for trouble by changing selection
related properties in the SelectionChanged event handler. Have you tried
putting this code in a Click event handler instead?

Hello
I tried this but nothing happens:

Private Sub RTB_txt_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles RTB_txt.Click
If RTB_txt.SelectionFont.Name = ("Tahoma") And _
RTB_txt.SelectionFont.Size = "12" And _
RTB_txt.SelectionFont.Style = FontStyle.Bold And _
RTB_txt.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red Then

RTB_txt.SelectionFont = New Font("Arial", 11, FontStyle.Regular)
RTB_txt.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black
Else

RTB_txt.SelectionFont = New Font("Tahoma", 12, FontStyle.Bold)
RTB_txt.SelectionColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
RTB_txt.AutoWordSelection = True
End If

End Sub

There may be a timing problem. The default behavior of the RTB when you
click on it is to reduce the selection length to zero and set the selection
start to where you clicked. You may not have anything selected at the moment
when this code is running.

One option would be to manually find the word where the selection marker is.
Read through the Text property backwards until you get to a non-word
character, then forwards, then manually set your selection to that, then
make your changes.

Another possibility (although it may yield the same results) is to try this
code in the MouseDown event handler, or maybe even record the selection to a
global variable during a MouseMove event handler, then use the most recent
recorded value during the Click event handler.

Yes it's more complex than I thought before.
I figured than by clicking one time all the word will be selected.... stupid
me!
I understood that I have to drag and move the mouse to see something
happens....... and i discovered if a part of the word is already in arial
etc. and another part is in Tahoma etc. it crashes too arrgh.
I will digg your ideas to see if there is a better solution. thanks
