Multiple backcolors in a edit control?

[Brandon De Aguiar]

Hey, I was just wondering if it's possible for the editcontrol to have multiple backcolors on at once? I'am trying to write a comparison program, so I want different colors highlighting lines to mean different things.

I was checking the appearance article in the site and it seems like it's possible but to my understanding it seems like there can only be one registered backcolor at once.

here's the site: The example I see with multiple registered back colors :

Thank you in advanced!

Hi Brandon, 

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.  

 

Yes, it is possible to have different Line Back color for each line and it can be achieved by defining required format for each line. Please make of code snippet in below for your reference.  

 

Code Snippet: [C#] 

 

 

            IBackgroundFormat format = this.editControl1.RegisterBackColorFormat(Color.Yellow, Color.Green, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle.NarrowHorizontal, true); 

            // Set the background for the entire line of text. 

            this.editControl1.SetLineBackColor(2, true, format); 

            format = this.editControl1.RegisterBackColorFormat(Color.Gray, Color.Red, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle.NarrowHorizontal, true); 

            this.editControl1.SetLineBackColor(5, true, format); 

            format = this.editControl1.RegisterBackColorFormat(Color.Green, Color.Green, System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle.NarrowHorizontal, true); 

            this.editControl1.SetLineBackColor(7, true, format);
