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

Dim BO As New Font("Arial", 12, FontStyle.italic) ' Italic
  richtextbox1.text = "Hello my name is " 
  richtextbox1.selectionfont = BO
  richtextbox1.appendtext(name)

Hope this helps
