Hi I am looking for a component or code that allows a windows forms text box to do the following:
1. Use fonts as specified by the application (vs has this already)
2. Shows current row/line and column at current cursor position
3. Displays a ruler
4. Allows user to choose colors of backg. and foreground
5. Colors special words or characters when typed. The words/characters will be provided as a list at run time
6. Optionally shows a hair cursor (vertical and horizontal lines at current cursor position)

If such a control does not exist, could you name controls that provide parts of the functionality described?

Thanks.

Does not exist, you'll need to buy it, or write it.

Solution 2

First of all, you are describing a RichTextBox, not a TextBox.
This being clarified, you may search here on CodeProject and you will surely find a lot of them!
Point 5. is the most difficult of them. Try searching for "syntax highlighting".
Good luck.
