HELP! Setting font selected string in a Rich Text Box?

[nikolajp]

I have made a log viewer to output textfiles in a Rich Text Box control.

I know how to change the fonttype for the entire box by using this:

With $oRP

.Font = 'Arial'

EndWith

I need to higlight certain text (string match) in the textbox (like some errors etc.)

In the Rich Text box helpcode provided with Auto-ITyou can manually select the text and choose font by clicking a button. The code used from the example to change font:

$oRP.SelFontSize = 8

I need the script to automatically match certain strings and highlight this (or the line) with a different font/colour.

I just don't know how to search this Rich Text Box, get the coordinates and tell it to change like using $oRP.SelFontSize.

I have searched the site, but cannot seem to find anything like it with a Rich Text box.

I would be extremely glad for some assistance, as this is the final hurdle.

I can only give you clues because I haven't used richedits in Autoit.

But there should be a function $oRP.FindText, and to set the font colour etc you will need to use $oRP.SelAttributes after you have set Selstart to the start of the text to highlight, and Sellength to the length of the text you want to select.

Thanks for the reply.

But I can't seem to get the $orp.FindText to work.

I tried $orp.FindText("test") or $orp.FindText = "test", but it results in a crash when running the program.

I figured out how to set the font like you said. With this code.

With $oRP

.SelStart = 2

.SelLength = 4

.SelFontSize = 20

EndWith

But I cannot figure out how to search the contents of the RTF box for a string and get the SelStart for the match.

Anyone have any ideas?
