Solution 1

You can't apply different text styles to a TextBox, you should consider using a RichTextBox instead.

Let's assume this is TextBox. OP mentioned both ListBox and TextBox, but you have the Presumption of Innocence :-). My 5.

Oh yes, I missed the listbox part!

I think this is no more than a contradiction between title and body of the question. OP probably meant just one thing.

Actually, I just added a very general note on ListBox as my answer.

You don't answer my question: TextBox or ListBox.

I think this is no a contradiction between title and body of the question. You probably meant just one thing. While I think the answer by Olivier on TextBox/RichTextBox is good enough, the text rendering you need is not so easy to achieve for ListBox. You can create your own control (probably derived from ListBox) and custom-paint it.
