What you might try is mixing your streaming methods.  the get/setIndex()
routines are looking at the content of the control as normal text, whereas
you're streaming in rich text.  For in process colorization, I'd select the
text as normal text, then replace it with a stream of rich text with the
appropriate formatting.  I think the difference between the plain text and
rich text is what's complicating matters.
