Edit box

[Kivin]

Is there a way to colored text in edit box like SciTE4AutoIt3 or ICQ?

(I mean different colors in one edit box)

I have two alternative ideas:

1. Some one wrote about rich text, but I cant find any example.

2. Use internet explorer page in edit box. Problem - i can only send a source code into edit box.

So please give me your opinion or idea. Thanks alot.

Try using Koda, and it will give you options to change this.

Here is a simple script:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#NoTrayIcon

$font = "Courier New"

$gui = GUICreate("GUI", 482, 250, -1,-1)
$txt = GUICtrlCreateEdit("Hello World.. I'm in colour!", 0, 0, 481, 250, $WS_VSCROLL)
GUICtrlSetFont (-1, 9, 400, 4, $font)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xffaff)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $gui_event_close
            exit
    EndSwitch

Hmm. this is along the lines of what i am after.

What if I wanted that line to be two different colors? Like the "Hello World.." in red and the "I'm in colour!" in blue?

Then you will need to start using RichText control. Check out my BetaPad.
