1. [win32lib] Changing Font Colors
Hello All!
Has any progress been made on the ability to change the color of a font
in a label? This is something I really need for a project that I am
working on.

setTextColor() should do that...

Travis,
Take a look at the mod Derek made to "WrtLabel" in the demos, and you'll see
he made labels of different colors, which could be adapted to making the
FONT be variable; I think there's a "getColor" dialog available in Win32Lib
you could use, but instead of using the chosen color to make the
*background* of the label (as in the demo), use it to make the *pen* color
be what the user wants. You would have to make the text re-write in that
color, I would presume.

Hi Travis;
This is no help to you, except perhaps to keep in mind for future projects;
I've almost finished wrapping GTK 2.0, and it has (among many other
nice features) HTML-stye markup for labels, so you can set fonts,
attributes (bold, italic, size, color, and bkgnd color) for any portion of
a label. A nice touch, but I don't know if those features will work when
it is eventually ported to Windows.
Regards,
Irv
