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]

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

armoros,

No need to be - just look a bit harder next time. ;)

      Excel: Change different of colors text in same cell
      By siawpo
      Hi,
      I'd like to change different colors for different portion of text in same cell of Excel application.
      Neither character length nor cell might not fixed.
      Here's the code I've tried to put together but not manage to pull it off.
      I'm appreciate it for any suggestion, thank you.
      $oExcel = ObjCreate("Excel.Application") With $oExcel ; open new workbook .Visible = True .WorkBooks.Add .ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Select() EndWith $oExcel.Cells.Font.Color = 0x000000 $oExcel.ActiveFont.Color = -16776961 Send ("'I'd like this sentence to be red'") Sleep(100) Send ("{AltDown}{Enter}{AltUp}") Sleep(100) $oExcel.ActiveCell.Selection.Font.Color = 0x000000 Send ("'I like this sentence to be black'") Sleep(100) Send ("{AltDown}{Enter}{AltUp}") Sleep(100) $oExcel.ActiveFont.Color = -16776961 Send ("'I'd like this sentence to be red again'") Sleep(100) Send ("{AltDown}{Enter}{AltUp}") Sleep(100) Send("{ENTER}")
