Hi,
I have problem in keeping the selected text highlighted in a richtextbox when the mouse clicked to other control, eg changing font from a list box or clicking on a treeview control. The text is still selected but the the text not highlighted. How can I maintain the text selection highlighted?

Can someone help?
