I need a fast "console" type control. Basically a textbox that uses a fixed
width font and can be configured for a specific width and height. I may need
to apply colour and double width & height fonts as well. This is for a VT
terminal emulator.

I had done some investigation with VB6 and using the GDI to provide a fast
interface to create a custom control... Before I end up going this route, is
there anything in VB.Net that could help?

Thanks!

Did you have a look at the RichTextBox control?

Yup... it's too slow and doesn't have the flexibility I need. Formatting is
secondary to functionality at the moment.

Thanks!

Which user can read faster than the RTB can display text?
