If it is a Windows Forms application I do not know a way to do that with one label.

What you can do is have three labels
1. "How"
2. " Much" set the ForeColor to whatever you want.
3. " Cash do You Want?"

You might want to put them on a panel or make them into a user control to make alignment and moving easier.

Ok, I know you are specifically asking about "label" control, but wouldn't richtextbox control better suited to do this? HTH.

Check this for instance:

If you don't want to use multiple controls, this is the only way. Of course, this is assuming he's writing a winforms app, and not something for the web. I don't know why your answer was 1-voted, because with the info we have it's the best answer provided so far. I voted it up.

Yes, I assumed winforms and probably the question was for web development, you are very much right.

I would use 3 labels contained side by side. If you do not want to go that route. Here is an example in c# that can help you.
