Editting (making bold) certain characters in a TextBox Control.

Hi all, I have a TextBox Control of which I want to make bold the first couple of Characters. Is this at all possible, or will the Bold style be applied to the whole of the text within the TextBox Control The following is the code I have so far...

txtSnagListLocation.Font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 12.0F, FontStyle.Bold);

Thanks

Tryst

    Thanks for the reply Jero,

    I require the Control for a mobile Smart Device, so am not sure if it'd be compatible with that :-s

    Thanks

    not sure that you can do this with a textbox. I think you can only set the font on the entire textbox.

    But there is a RichTextBox class which I'm sure you can do it with.
