Can I insert exponents in a textbox (VB 2008-10)?

Question

I have been Googling out for many days on how to solve a linear equation programatically. I have in my calculator app, a form frmLEquation and a textbox txtEquation where the user enters the equations like 2x^2 = 32. I searched many webpages but I could not find the exact answer. Here, how do I add an exponent, which is of smaller font size than the others to a variable for example 2x? I found this webpage here, but I don't know how to interpret the code.

Please help me with the above situation. In case you have doubts/clarifications etc, please respond back.

Thanks.

You will need to use a Rich Textbox instead of a regular textbox control.
