How to bold part of the text in a GUI label

Hello,

 

How to bold part of the text in a GUI label?

I do not think this is possible using pure AutoIt.

It's not possible using a label . But you might use a workaround, by joining several labels, or using a richedit control instead of a label

As @mikell mentions, I typically just use several labels:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

    $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 80)
        GUISetFont(11, 400, Default, "Arial")

    $sLabel1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("This is the", 10, 10, 85, 30)
    $sLabel2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("beginning", 100, 10, 87, 30)
    $sLabel3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("of my text.", 192, 10, 85, 30)
        GUICtrlSetFont($sLabel2, 11, 600, Default, "Arial")

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

Putting together several labels would be tricky for me. How do I use richedit control?

The help file has a very nice example under _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create

Very good, UEZ, but unfortunately your script does not work with texts that contain more than one line. I will try the richedit control.

Of course there is a possibility for multi line support but you will ask also for other features such as how to change the font for each char, etc.

That means using label controls makes the life more complicated for such "simple" feature and is not designed for it. Rich Edit is much more powerful and more easy to handle such kind of requirements.
