C# RichTextBox define Colors for multiple lines

Question

is it possible to define forecolors for multiple lines in a RichTextBox?

I am only able to do something like this:

tb.ForeColor = Color.Red;

-> The text of all lines will be red.

What i want to do is to set a different color for every line. For example: line1: blue, line2: green, line3: yellow

Following problem:

foreach (var line in tb.Lines)
{

}

While defining tb.Lines == 0, so i can´t define colors for the single lines...

Set the new SelectionColor and/or whatever styling you need instead of the SelectionBackColor in the link! — TaW, Oct 27 '16 at 12:32
The link is up on top. It leads to a post that lets you color a line by number. — TaW, Oct 27 '16 at 12:36

you can use the inlines definition in RichTextBox in order to define how the text has to be formatted

see this link to a stackoverflow old question for how to do it in a RichTextBox
