Selective formatting in a TextBox

Question

Is it possible to do selective formatting in a text box i.e. I actually wanted to change the color of mobile numbers in order to the status of DND?

Do you mean you want to change color of some text in textbox and not the all? — Microsoft DN, Apr 01 '14 at 07:42

This may be an overkill, but take a look at the RichTextBox class. Here is a nice tutorial.

You don't need a `RichTextBox`. Regular `TextBlock` supports formatting of `Inlines`/`Runs`. – Filip Skakun Apr 01 '14 at 09:30
But a TextBlock doesn't support user edits. – qqbenq Apr 01 '14 at 11:06
Right, I missed that... :) Um, uh... it might be useful knowledge if edits are not required. :) – Filip Skakun Apr 01 '14 at 15:55
