  <p>That question does not help me; for some reason I do not see the rich edit control. Instead I believe I have to do it in code. here is a sample I found:</p>

  <p>My problem is that I prefer not to re-invent the wheel and test for errors myself or through QA.</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>Someone must have implemented this before. Please share your code.</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>What I would like to do is:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Keep the same font size, family, etc. as in the already created label, but make it <strong><em>bold and italic</em></strong> as well.</li>
  <li>Keep the memory footprint reasonably low (do not create any new unnecessary objects), but do not get the app into an inconsistent state either.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I appreciate your help.</p>
