I write an example:

$GUI = GUICreate("TEST",100,50)
$TEXT = GUICtrlCreateInput("This is a test",5,5,90,20)
GUICtrlSetColor($TEXT,0xFF0000)
$CHANGE = GUICtrlCreateButton("New Text",5,30,90,20)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
    If $MSG = $CHANGE Then
        GUICtrlSetData($TEXT,_RandomText(6))
    ElseIf $MSG = -3 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

Func _RandomText($NUM)
    $WORD = ""
    For $INDEX = 1 To $NUM
        $WORD &= Chr(Random(65,90,1))
    Next
    Return $WORD
EndFunc

The color isn't change for a new word.

And here color changed from every new word:

$GUI = GUICreate("TEST",100,50)
$TEXT = GUICtrlCreateInput("This is a test",5,5,90,20)
GUICtrlSetColor($TEXT,0xFF0000)
$CHANGE = GUICtrlCreateButton("New Text",5,30,90,20)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
    If $MSG = $CHANGE Then
        GUICtrlSetData($TEXT,_RandomText(6))
        GUICtrlSetColor($TEXT,"0x" & Hex(Random(0,255,1),2) & Hex(Random(0,255,1),2) & Hex(Random(0,255,1),2))
    ElseIf $MSG = -3 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

Func _RandomText($NUM)
    $WORD = ""
    For $INDEX = 1 To $NUM
        $WORD &= Chr(Random(65,90,1))
    Next
    Return $WORD
EndFunc

and don't get it to work... (already copied the rtf_writer to 'include' folder)

but thank's again for great support^^
