I created this control because there are a few good html syntax highlighting programs on VBC but none of the good ones are controls that are easiy put into one's program. This control supports basic highlighting, undo and redo, ability to change the font, fast copy and paste routines.
I have use code from the following projects on VBC to make this and would like to give them credit:

Inputs
When changing fonts from your main program first set the font attributes then run the sub procedure called SetNewFontInfo()
Side Effects
I have had a lot of trouble with Coloring comments on the fly so if you enclode any code that was not previously commented out hit f5 to refresh the richtextbox and it should then be colored correctly.
