Question
I have text in edit control and I want to change color to some piece of text. In Embarcadero C++ builder, I'm selecting text like this:
edit1->SelStart = 10;
edit1->SelLength = 12;
and then change color:
edit1->SelAttributes->Color = clRed;
It's posible in Winapi standard Edit control or I must use Rich edit?
Solution
OTHER TIPS
A standard Edit control does not support per-character text formatting. You must use a RichEdit control for that.
