EditBox Font

[Floppy]

Hi,

I have an editbox with some text, how can i change the font in editbox...for example, some text BOLD, other ITALIC, etc.

Thanks in advance

[youknowwho4eva]

look up all the guictrlset functions in autoit.

I can write the GuiCtrlSet... function in the script...I would to create a program like MS Word.

For example, if in the editbox there is the phrase:

HELLO WORLD!

I can change the HELLO word to green, and the WORLD word to red, like this:

HELLO WORLD!

[Jos]

Edit control doesn't support that.

:(

Is there another way?

Otherwise, thank you...

You know how long they spend creating Word?

You need a richtext control to do that. Edited December 22, 2008 by Kip

Yes, but I want to create a program similar Word, not exactly the same...

You have to use a RichEdit instead of an Edit. Look in my sig for an UDF It's an extended version of the one created by Kip.

It's very long. Can you explain how can I use it, please?

[ProgAndy]

Is this really so difficult?

1) Create the RichEdit with _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create

2) use the functions like _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetBold, _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetItalic, _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetFontName for your buttons

Most functions are listed here: http://pastebin.com/f7f2a956b

it works, but when i'm trying to toggle bold...it doesn't toggle really...maybe the script is wrong...look please:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>

$gui=GUICreate("Html Editor",1000,500)
$edit=GUICtrlCreateEdit("",10,50,480,440)
$rich=_GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($gui,505,50,480,440)
$bold=GUICtrlCreateButton("B",10,10,30,30)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    $m=GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $m=$gui_event_close
        ExitLoop
    Case $m=$bold
        $test=_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetBold($rich,False)
    EndSelect
WEnd

thanks and bye!!!

First, you have to select a font which has bold and standard style and set it to default. Then you can use the funcs

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>

$gui=GUICreate("Html Editor",1000,500)
$edit=GUICtrlCreateEdit("",10,50,480,440)
$rich=_GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($gui,505,50,480,440)
$bold=GUICtrlCreateButton("B",10,10,30,30)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetBold($rich,False,False)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetFontName($rich,"Arial",False)


While 1
    $m=GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $m=$gui_event_close
        ExitLoop
    Case $m=$bold
        If _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetBold($rich) Then
            _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetBold($rich,False)
        Else
            _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetBold($rich,True)
        EndIf
    EndSelect
WEnd

Bold works...

Sorry for the questions...but now ITALIC and UNDERLINE don't works (I don't WHY?)...I'm used the same code of the BOLD...look

$underline=GUICtrlCreateButton("U",70,10,30,30)

_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetBold($rich,False,False)

Don't forget to use _GUICtrlRichEdit_Get... in if-statement

//Edit: use _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetUnderline for underline, not Link. This creates Link-styled text.
