Hello,
How do I highlight text in a list box? For example, suppose the following text was in a list box:
MKCLLLALALTCGAQALIVTQTMKGLDIQKVAGTWYSLAMAASDISLLDAQSAPLRVYVE
ELKPTPEGDLEILLQKWENGECAQKKIIAEKTKIPAVFKIDALNENKVLVLDTDYKKYLL
FCMENSAEPEQSLACQCLVRTPEVDDEALEKFDKALKALPMHIRLSFNPTQLEEQCHI

Suppose I wanted to highlight: LAMAASD so it would be

MKCLLLALALTCGAQALIVTQTMKGLDIQKVAGTWYSLAMAASDISLLDAQSAPLRVYVE
ELKPTPEGDLEILLQKWENGECAQKKIIAEKTKIPAVFKIDALNENKVLVLDTDYKKYLL
FCMENSAEPEQSLACQCLVRTPEVDDEALEKFDKALKALPMHIRLSFNPTQLEEQCHI

You can't do this in a normal text box. Look for rich text box controls.

WinForms or ASP.Net??? A lot depends on what kind of application you are trying to build.
