Hi folks, not sure what response I'll get for this, and I hope I'm not being dim or anything, but Googling, etc. is not throwing up any helpful information.

What I have at the moment, is a list box with a number of items, each has a related amount of text, that when you click on an item will display below it, and move the other items down (by increasing the heigh with the OnMeasureItem).  Now I have it working and am using DrawText to not only calculate the requireed height, but also to do the draw the text on the canvas.  What I would really like to do is, rather than having it output as plain text, I would like to display it with some formatting, e.g. Rich
Text.

I would be eternally grateful if someone can point me in the right direction, preferably without having to parse the format tags myself ;)

Thanks in advance.
