I am having a problem selecting the first line of a richtextbox. I fill the rtb with text and all I want to do is when the text is loaded into the box I want the first line highlighted.

Can someone help me?

Thanks

    You can do for example : 

        Dim nStart As Integer = RichTextBox1.GetFirstCharIndexFromLine(0)
    Dim nLength As Integer = RichTextBox1.Lines(0).Length
    RichTextBox1.Select(nStart, nLength)
    RichTextBox1.Focus()
