>I'm trying to add a line to a RichText box using the .SelRTF property. I've gotton foreground color (\cf#) to work, but I can't seem to make background color (\cb#) to work at all. No matter what I try, the backgroud color of the text added just stays white. Here's the RTF string I'm adding:

Hi Lee,

Are you sure the RichText Active-X control supports setting different backcolors for different pieces of text? I didn't find any property for that, only the SelColor property... I suppose it only accepts a backcolor for the whole control, but I'm not sure...
