You're asking for rich text in a non richtext box !
The answer is no, richtext is available from richtext box only ;-)

HTH,

No, the Windows Forms textbox control doesn't support that (except in WPF).

Contrary to the other replies, yes you can.

myTextBox.ForeColor = ...

Bolding is an other issue. :(

Hope this helps,

Re-read the OP's post. You cannot change the color of a certain line in the
textbox.

The font can be changed by assigning a new font to the control's 'Font'
property. Specify 'FontStyle.Bold' to use a bold font.
