VB Forum / General 2 / July 2009Underlined text in a list box
Is there some way that I can underline or bold words in a list box so that they stand out?? Thanks  SignatureRemove norubbish to reply > Is there some way that I can underline or bold words in a list box so > that they stand out?? http://www.vbforums.com/showpost.php?p=2172&postcount=4 This deals with backgrounds, but you can modify to produce other font effects. You will notice it isn't that easy and there are issues when using subClassing in the IDE. You may want to consider using the ListView control instead of a VB Listbox. -ralph Thanks, as you say somewhat complicated! >> Is there some way that I can underline or bold words in a list box so >> that they stand out??

For more information look on the web for "owner-drawn listbox" and follow-up on SubClassing with http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=78306 SubClassing appears painful on first glance, but allows the programmer to utilize additional messaging that plain VB can't do. Once you start, you'll are likely to find more and more situations where it will be helpful. -ralph Thanks, I also took a look at Listview, not quite sure how it helps Jack >> Thanks, as you say somewhat complicated! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > -ralph SignatureRemove norubbish to reply Well I can get this to work but ... I originally was using a checked list box but that does not support multi select. Why does this have to use a checked list box rather than standard (style 0) Thanks >> Is there some way that I can underline or bold words in a list box so >> that they stand out??

Compared to that, life among the D'regs holds no terrors, I assure you. - Jingo by Terry Pratchett I had thought about that but it would need a big rewrite. One of the reasons I use a list box is to make it easy to tell which line of text the user has selected. How could I do that with a text box? >> Is there some way that I can underline or bold words in a list box so >> that they stand out??
