set color in a text box


Recommended Posts

I seem to be forming my search incorrectly... get lots of data on PICKING colors... What I want to do is a LOT simpler...

I have a text box. It contains a bunch of random text...

Among the text is "...Number passed =9, Number failed = 22..."

I want it to display like this:

Number passed = 9, Number failed = 22

All I can find so far is

GUICtrlSetColor() which sets the entire control....

Oh, and richtext editing in a console thing.... WAY too complicated for what I need (I hope)

Search for RichText Edit or just richtext

No reason to bump the other thread...

Actually, there is...

In everyone's haste to tell the newbie to go look for the answer, No one seems to have noticed that the stock answers are

1 REALLY complicated

2 NOT really "on topic"

The question is this:

I want a control (let's go with list view)

I want cells in the list view to display text in colors, depending on conditions

is there a way to acomplish this? (If so, PLEASE drop a small bit of code that shows me what you are describing without having that code open up 18 different how-to/system status/com object views or other assorted stuff totally obsfuscating the point of the code)

Example of what I am looking for, Checkbook ledger, Amount deposited, Balance

If Balance is +, display Green. If -, display red

Amt Bal

10 10

20 30

-40 -10

20 10

CAN AitoIT do this?

CAN AitoIT do this?

I really am no expert, but from looking at the functions inside <GuiListView.au3> i think you are limited to one background and text colour per control.

So Richtext might be the only way here :D

Edit: Formatting
