Styled text lost when adding text in TextArea

Hi,

I have a readonly TextArea. Sometimes I change the color of some words, but as soon as I append text to the TextArea, the styled text is lost. Is this behavior expected? Any ideas on how to avoid this?

Thanks.

how do you append?

TA.Text = TA.Text + mystr

EDIT: of course is that the issue…I have to figure out a way to really append the text.

Ok I got it. Using TA.SelStart and TA.SelText to set the text does the trick.

why not simply .AppendText?
