hallaplay835 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hey there, probably the answer is simple but I cannot find a way to do this. Suppose you had this string and you wanted to display a message box with its contents: $string = "Unable to complete operation" & @CR & "Error code: AS532" MsgBox(0, "Error", $string) Is there some way to display the second part of the string ("Error code: AS532") in some other colour e.g red? I've had a read through the documentation but cannot find a way to accomplish this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. _____________________________________________________[size="2"][font="Arial"]"Pain is temporary, glory is forever."[/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ExtMsgBox UDF (look in my sig) will let you colour all the text in the ExtMsgBox whatever colour you wish, but if you want different colours for separate parts of the text I think you will have to write your own UDF with a GUI and separate labels.

nitekram Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Not sure you can do it with just a string. But you could do it with creating your own message box - then use lables to create the text, using two lables. One for the regular text and one with the colored text. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1) Global $string = "Unable to complete operation" & @CR Global $string2 = "Error code: AS532" Example() Func Example() Local $msg GUICreate("My GUI color text") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered GUICtrlCreateLabel($string, 10, 20) GUICtrlCreateLabel($string2, 10, 35) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000) ; Red GUISetState() ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop WEnd EndFunc ;==>Example 2¢ All by me:"Sometimes you have to go back to where you started, to get to where you want to go."
