Hi,
The WinForms application that I'm designing must support online chat.
I'm wondering what class to use to display the chat messages. The obvious
choice would be a multi-line TextBox control which I could continue to
append each time a new chat message needs to be displayed. The problem is
that there are a certain class of chat messages known as "system messages"
that must be shown in red and as far as I can tell, the TextBox control
doesn't support setting specific colors for small selections of text.
Any ideas? I don't mind paying for a 3rd party component if there is not
a suitable class in the framework. I don't need to support any fancy
features such as emoticons -- just colored text.
Thanks,
Jackson
