Set the color of inline variables?

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to set the color of a variable so that wherever in my GUI I put that variable, it was that color. In the example below, I'd like to set $BitNess to be red no matter where in the GUI I place it. Possible without stacking the GUICtrlCreateLabel tags? Hopefully my ramblings make sense.

For example:

#region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=net.ico
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=Installer.exe
#endregion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#include
#include
Global $gui, $guiPos, $pic, $picPos

$CurrentOS = _GetOSVersion()

InstallerGUI()

Func _GetOSVersion()
Local $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Local $colSettings = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")
For $objOperatingSystem In $colSettings
Return "Windows " & StringMid($objOperatingSystem.Caption, 19)
Next
EndFunc ;==>_GetOSVersion

Func InstallerGUI()
Local $n, $msg
GUICreate("Installer", 300, 200, -1, -1)

$n = GUICtrlCreatePic("Installer.bmp", 0, 0, 300, 200, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)

If @OSArch = "X86" Then
$BitNess = "32bit"
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000) ;I realize this is bad code. This is what I'm after without stacking GUICtrlCreateLabel tags on the same line.
ElseIf @OSArch = "X64" Then
$BitNess = "64bit"
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000) ;I realize this is bad code. This is what I'm after without stacking GUICtrlCreateLabel tags on the same line.
EndIf

GUICtrlCreateGroup("", 10, 5, 280, 95)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("OS Detected: " & $CurrentOS & " " & $BitNess, 20, 20, 200, 25)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Program " & $BitNess & " will be installed", 20, 40, 200, 25)

$bContinue = GUICtrlCreateButton("Continue", 60, 63, 75)
$bCancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 170, 63, 75)
GUISetState()

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop

Case $msg = $bCancel
ExitLoop

Case $msg = $bContinue
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
MsgBox(0, 'Testing', 'Installer)
ExitLoop
EndSelect
WEnd

GUIDelete()
EndFunc ;==>InstallerGUI

I did search the help and the forums and the web, maybe my internal search engine is broken, but I could not find what I'm after.

Thanks for any suggestions,

-Mike

You do not set the color of a variable, you set the color of a control (text color, background color ...).

Have a look at the example script of function GUICtrlSetColor.

Thanks for the quick reply water. And thanks for the clarification of what actually gets set. I've used GUICtrlSetColor before for an entire line, but the only way to do what I'm after is by using GUICtrlSetColor in the following way:

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Black text", 10, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel($BitNess,40, 20)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000) ; Red
GUICtrlCreateLabel("more Black text", 70, 20)

This is what I was talking about when I mentioned stacking GUICtrlCreateLabel tags on the same line. Doing it this method I can never get the text spacing on the line correct between different machines...so sometimes $BitNess is closer to the text, sometimes it's further. I apologize if I'm further confusing the issue. Hope this post helped.

If I understand you correctly you would like to create ONE label control and mark a word in the text of the Control in a different color like: "Your OS runs 64 bit more black text"

That is correct, the only caveat being that the one word may show up multiple times and in multiple locations in the same GUI (different tabs, different lines, etc...).

Maybe helps. Haven't tested or used it myself.

On the surface this looks to be exactly what I'm after!

I'd love to know what you typed in the search to find this...or if you just rememberred it from MrCreatoR's original post.

Thank you for the help and for being my search engine... :>

IIRC I was looking for "label set color text". The link I posted was near the end of result page 1.
