Hi PutingPanday,

I do not believe the Label control has any properties or methods to change the color of individual characters. You can kind of hack the richtextbox by shrinking it to the size that your text needs, change the background color to the color of its container, and set its border to none then use something similar to the following

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    rtbColumnInfo.SelectionStart = rtbColumnInfo.Find("V")
    rtbColumnInfo.SelectionColor = Color.Blue
    rtbColumnInfo.SelectionStart = rtbColumnInfo.Find("i")
    rtbColumnInfo.SelectionColor = Color.FloralWhite

  End Sub

Just a thought ...Good Luck
Ken

As Phasma mentioned, a rtb(RichTextBox) would be the way to go; at least for a vb.noob.

See if this helps.
