Does anyone have an example of the syntax for text label formatting?
The gambas help gives this:
A rich text is a string using a subset of the HTML format.
The following HMTL markups are allowed:
<p> <br> <a> <font>
<b> <i> <s> <sub> <sup> <small> <tt> <u>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6>
The <font> markup understands the following attributes: face, color, and size.
What I want to do is change the text font colour.
I had assumed it would be something like this:

Code (gambas)

  1. TextLable.Text = "Standard Colour <font 'color:red'> Color Red</font>"
or

Code (gambas)

  1. TextLable.Text = "Standard Colour <font style='color:red'> Color Red</font>"
But it has no effect - so syntax is wrong.
Any examples appreciated.
Cheers - Quin.

 Either…

Normal color <font color=red>and red</font>

Or use CSS style inside one of the supported tags..

Normal color
<p style="color:red">
red paragraph
</p>

this works for me  :

Code (gambas)

  1.    Message(" <b> <font color='red'> Error number too large </font></b>", "Ok")
  2.

Nope. I couldn't get style to work either.

 But …

Code (gambas)

  1. TextLabel1.Text = "normal text <font color=red>red text</font>"
  2.  
  3.  

Works okay

so I guess the Quotes are not needed  :D

This will get you any color you want :

Code (gambas)

  1.    Message(" <b> <font color=#00D000> Error number too large </font></b>", "Ok")
  2.  

they must be  disabled in reverse order, this will NOT work:

Code (gambas)

  1.    Message(" <b> <font color=#00D000> Error number too large </b></font>", "Ok")
  2.

Thanks guys - Not sure what happened there, but the code from yesterday was not working and today it is  :roll:

Code (gambas)

  1.  
  2. GameText = "Game: <font color=red> " & AV.GameName & "</font>"
  3. GameText &= " - Player: <font color=yellow> " & AV.PlayerName & "</font>"
  4. GameText &= " - Mode: <font color=cyan> " & AV.DiffAry[AV.GameMode] & "</font>"
  5. Object.SetProperty(Ctrl, "Text", GameText)
  6.  

I'm passing the TextLabel by reference and thought that this may have something to do with it but apparently not.
*sigh*
