Multicolour Edit & GUICtrlSetTip background colour

Hi,

I have seen this other colour forum-thread right under this one. But my question does not stick to labels so I started a new thread.

I would like to know if its possible to use two text-colours in one GUI-Edit handle?  I know there exists something like GUICtrlSetColour(....) but this would change the color of the complete Edit handle. In my case I use the Edit as output console and it would be nice to color "successfull outputs" e.g. in green and "failed outputs" in e.g. red.

Second color issue: Is it possible to change the background colour of GUICtrlSetTip? I like (or maybe I am just used to) the standard windows light yellow tool-tips. Or is this tip colour already color "protected" by Microsoft?

Auto42,

Not as far as I know - you would need to use a RichEdit control. AutoIt has a good RichEdit UDF - look in the Help file. ;)

Again, not as far as I know. :(

But do not lose hope - you never know what can pop up when you ask. ;)

If you want colored Tooltips you should use the ToolTip UDF.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
