Superscript in text?

Is it possible to have superscripts (like for the degree symbol in a temperature) in a textbox or label in VB6?

The short answer : No (not without subclassing)

Have you looked at the RichTextBox control? It can do both subscript and superscripted text.

There's also some 3rd party textbox usercontrols/ActiveX/ocxes (mostly made from richtextbox controls) that also provide superscripting (if you do a search).

What would be involved in using subclassing to make a special owner-drawn version of the VB textbox? This will give you some idea of the work involved:

Hi pikzel. I didn't know abt the RichTextBox control, but that works. However, if anyone is interested, with the labels and textboxes it is possible to do what I wanted (the temperature) by using Chr(177) to get the degree symbol. Also, Chr(189) gives 1/2 displayed nicely (I need that too).
