Multicolors in string?

[Tom Whitaker]

I can make sections of text in a string indicator different colors
manually but I can't figure out a way to do it programmatically. The
goal here is to highlight two sections of a long text string by making
them different colors while leaving the rest black. Any ideas??

Use a property node and select the text you want to change the color of by setting the Text.SelStart and Text.SelEnd properties, then have a third input to the same property node with the Text.FontColor property. Write the color you want to that.

You must select the text first.
Property node -> text -> Select -> Start
Property node -> text -> Select -> End

Then...
Property node -> text -> Font -> color


It doesn't look like you can change the background for individual characters though.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Martin,

Thanks, that did it. I was using
Property node -> text -> text colors -> text color
and the whole string was turning color (even after selection).

Thanks again.

Tom
