Draw String in different colors/Fonts

then you will have to use a richtextbox control to display your differnet colours, this is the only control that allows you to have text in different colours. richtextbox gives bunch of properties such as .SelectionColor and so on that will allow you to set different colours another way to do this is, learn rtf format, make your string a rtf string (with all the embedded colour coding) and then set this text to .Rtf property of a richtexbox, this will also work.

Thanks for your reply. That is not what I was looking for. Example String: There are 100cents in $1. I want to display 100 and 1 in different color than the rest of the characters. As I was reading through StringFormat.SetTabStops, I wanted to know if something was available to change the colors of characters in a string.

here you go //i know this is vb code but you get the idea, the following will create "Shadow Text"; Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics g.DrawString("Kovan", New Font("Arial", 40), New SolidBrush(Color.Gray), 55, 55) 'SHADOW g.DrawString("Kovan", New Font("Arial", 40), New SolidBrush(Color.Black), 50, 50) 'ORIGINAL TEXT End Sub
