[GUI] Programming Ideas?

Is the best method for the Preview option, to convert from BBCode to HTML and then view it in a web browser?

Depends on what the canned speeches look like. Otherwise as I mentioned above, you can preview it directly in a RichTextBox control.

How would I achieve this?

You can colorize, perhaps make a list using bullet points (removing them is going to be trickier though), bold, underline, strikeout (I think), italicize. I may have forgotten a few, but other than that, you can't make tables, and do all that kind of fancy stuff, unless you were to create your own control that can do things like that.

Ex:

Public Sub MainMethod()
	Const word As String = "simple"
	RichTextBox1.Select(RichTextBox1.Text.IndexOf(word, StringComparison.Ordinal), word.Length)
	RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red
	RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.Font.FontFamily, RichTextBox1.Font.Size, FontStyle.Bold)
End Sub

Thanks, so I need format any selected font into the appropriate formatting?

Yes, that's what you have to do. :)

I'm getting a few errors, and I'm sure I've changed all the syntax to C# :huh:

What are the errors, what is the code you have? I can't help you without some information.

Sorry for the slow response and lack of information, I've been busy this week, hence the reason for not being online much. I'll post the code and errors tomorrow morning.
