armoros Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 My friends i would like to know how to change the text color that a user types in a TAEdit control.. I am trying to build a very simple text editor where a user has the option to change the text color or the bg color. Thank you in advance for any help. I search the forum about color change but nothing to use.. #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form2 = GUICreate("I want to be a text editor", 663, 387, 200, 137) $MenuItem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Options") $MenuItem2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Change text color", $MenuItem1) $MenuItem3 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Change Bg color", $MenuItem1) $Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 8, 625, 329) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "") GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd [font="verdana, geneva, sans-serif"] [/font]
Moderators Melba23 Posted April 29, 2012 Moderators Posted April 29, 2012 armoros, I wonder why we have a Help file sometimes - did you try searching that. Because there are a couple of pretty obvious candidates to do what you want: #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <Misc.au3> #region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form2 = GUICreate("I want to be a text editor", 663, 387, 200, 137) $MenuItem1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Options") $MenuItem2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Change text color", $MenuItem1) $MenuItem3 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Change Bg color", $MenuItem1) $Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 8, 625, 329) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "") GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #endregion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $MenuItem2 $iCol = _ChooseColor() GUICtrlSetColor($Edit1, $iCol) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Case $MenuItem3 $iCol = _ChooseColor() GUICtrlSetBkColor($Edit1, $iCol) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< EndSwitch WEnd M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Reveal hidden contents ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area
