Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] How to print text in COLOR in Textfield

[Jason P. <jp...@da...>]

To do this you will not be able to make use of the standard multi-line text
field. If you wanted all messages in the field to be of one color this would
be fine, however, to have multiple colors in the field you will need to make
use of the RichEdit control. Beware of dependancies on older systems :-)

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] How to print text in COLOR in Textfield

 

 

Hello All, 

I have a multiline Textfield which acts as my output console. 

$main = Win32::GUI::Window->new(-name => 'Main', 
                                -text => 'Perl Win32 GUI', 
                                -width => 550, 
                                -height => 660, 
                                -maximizebox => 0, 
                                 ); 

$outputText  = $main->AddTextfield( 
               -name =>"outputTextField", 
               -width => 500, 
               -height => 290, 
               -left   => 20, 
               -top    => 290, 
               -readonly => 0, 
               -multiline => 1, 
               -vscroll =>1, 
               -hsscroll => 1, 
                ); 

 

Now I want to print the messages in this text filed in different colours .. 
Like . 

$outputText->Append("The list file $opt_list is invalid.\r\n"); 

How can I print in some color say Red . 
Or should I use something else? 

Thanks and Regards
