>Is there a way to highlight a individual word in a edit box programmatically? The purpose being I want to have a search function that can be used by the user to search for data contained in the edit box. The search utility will locate the selected data and both set the focus and highlight the data searched for.

To clarify what Borislav and Naomi said, you can have only one highlight, but it can cover as much or as little as you want.
