Visual Basic richtextbox - setting specific text to Italic font style

Question

I have created a Richtextbox, which produces text based on user-inputted variables as well as some basic formatting - eg:

name = txtname.text
richtextbox1.text =         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

Me.RichTextBox1.Rtf = "{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Calibri;}} hello my name is \i Bob\i0 \par}"

If you use wordpad to write some sample text, save it in rtf format and then open the file in notepad, you will get something to start with. You can remove some of what wordpad adds (like the program that generated it) but it looks like you have to leave in at least the code page and at least one font.
