  In an older version of Active Reports we used Rich Text Boxes, and to edit specific text in the Rich Text Box we used properties such as SelectionStart, SelectionLength, and SelectionFont. However, with ActiveReports 15, it says this is obsolete. What is the updated way to edit text in a Rich Text Box?

  Hello,

  There are certain keywords that we want to bold and highlight. Currently the code for this is:

       richTextBox.SelectionStart = startingPosition;
                  richTextBox.SelectionLength = text.Length;
                  richTextBox.SelectionFont = new System.Drawing.Font(richTextBox.Font, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold);
                  richTextBox.SelectionBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;
  

  However all these properties show as obsolete. What is the updated way to do this?

  Hello,

  These properties still work with A15. You can use this to achieve your requirement.

  Thanks,
