Setting background color in WPF RichTextBox

Recently I encountered a situation where I was to highlight a word in WPF RichTextBox. So I thought, I should share a small tip to show how to highlight a word (by setting background color) in a WPF Rich TextBox. Here is the code:

        /// <summary>

        /// This method highlights a word with a given color in a WPF RichTextBox

        /// </summary>

        /// <param name="richTextBox">RichTextBox Control</param>

        /// <param name="word">The word which you need to highlighted</param>

        /// <param name="color">The color with which you highlight</param>

        private void HighlightWordInRichTextBox(RichTextBox richTextBox, String word, SolidColorBrush color)

        {

            //Current word at the pointer

            TextRange tr = new TextRange(richTextBox.Document.ContentEnd, richTextBox1.Document.ContentEnd);

            tr.Text = word;

            tr.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.BackgroundProperty, color);

        }
