If word = do then set color

[Zisly]

I want to set a color to a word if it's writen, ex: Do and the color of that word would be blue, how can I do that without changing everything?

ex:

if guictrlread($script) = "do" then
                            ; 
GUICtrlSetColor("VARGORESHERE", 0xFF0000); I know that the color is wrong, but it's just an example
endif

So anyone has any tips on what i should use?

I dont get what is the problem. GUICtrlSetColor change the text of the control u want, not all controls.

But this doesn't work, is there any other way to search and replace? (new to autoit)

If GUICtrlRead($script) = "do" Then

$getdo = _WordDocFindReplace($script, "do")

GUICtrlSetColor($getdo, 0xFF0000)

EndIf

post all code btw I made an example script:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Color")
$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("type something", 100, 100)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Local $msg
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    $Word = GUICtrlRead($Edit)

    If $Word = "do" Then
        GUICtrlSetColor($Edit, 0x0000FF)
    EndIf
    If $Word <> "do" Then
        GUICtrlSetColor($Edit, 0xFF0000)
    EndIf
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    Sleep(200)
WEnd

GUISetBkColor(0x0A246A)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")
$script = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 312, 8, 441, 345)

while 1 
    sleep(50)
    WEnd

If you are trying to do text highlighting then you will need a rich text edit control. There are examples of both the control and text highlighting in the Examples forum.
