Use the SelStart and SelLength properties to highlight the desired text and then change the SelAttributes subproperties to apply your desired characters to the selected text.

I want to be able to click on the speedbutton and and have the proptier set like bold, italic, underline, or font style and size. So the very next charactor typed has the new propertes which are set by the speedbuttons. And what is happening now is that it when I click the speedbutton to set the property it changes the entire richedit and not the current charactor.

Simply use the SelAttributes property to change the characteristics at the current location specified by the SelStart.

You are probably not using the SelAttributes property at all.

Quote: with this how do I use SelStart...? Simply set the SelStart to the 0-based character index within the text where you want to set your characteristics, if it is not already there to begin with. Quote: if (SpeedButton6->Flat == true) RichEdit4->SelAttributes->Style = RichEdit4->Font->Style fsUnderline; if (SpeedButton6->Flat == false) RichEdit4->SelAttributes->Style = RichEdit4->Font->Style fsUnderline; You can shorten that code: if( SpeedButton6->Flat ) RichEdit4->SelAttributes->Style = RichEdit4->Font->Style << fsUnderline; else RichEdit4->SelAttributes->Style = RichEdit4->Font->Style >> fsUnderline; However, you are not taking the current SelAttributes values into account at all, you are overwriting them each time. You probably meant to do the following instead: if( SpeedButton6->Flat ) RichEdit4->SelAttributes->Style = RichEdit4->SelAttributes->Style << fsUnderline; else RichEdit4->SelAttributes->Style = RichEdit4->SelAttributes->Style >> fsUnderline; The same applies to the other values that you are trying to set as well.
